PixLite R4D-S User Manual V211013

8 - Troubleshooting

8.1 - No Power LED

Ensure that your power supply is supplying correct voltage. Additionally, ensure that it
can supply enough current to drive the lights that are connected. You should also try
disconnecting all outputs and see if the receiver then turns on.

8.2 - No Pixel Control

Check that the correct pixel IC type has been selected on the transmitter unit in the
dropdown box in the Advatek Assistant under the ‘LEDs’ tab. Also check the physical
wiring and pinout of the pixels, as well as the output fuses. Ensure that the green 'fuse
good' indicator LEDs under the lid compartment are all visible (one per output
channel). If any are off, replace any blown output fuses as required.
