Check the following list.  If you are still unable to rectify the situation, contact your nearest Dynalite office.  A complete list 
of distributors worldwide can be found on the Internet at:  

www.philips.com/dynalite

 

Please ensure that you have completed the following prior to calling our technical support department. 
 

 

Check all symptoms in the Troubleshooting list 

 

Check for any deviations between the installation and the installation instructions 

 

Make a list of the model numbers of all devices used in the system 

 

 

SYMPTOM 

PROBABLE CAUSE 

ACTION 

Dimmer does not operate at all. No Service LED 
activity. Power supply indicator LED on PCB not 
lit. 

Incorrect  connection  of  mains  supply  or  no 
power available. 

Check  power  supply  to  dimmer.    Check  Line 
and Neutral input connections. 

Power  supply  indicator  LED  lit,  but  no  Service 
LED activity. 

Supply  voltage  too  low,  short  circuit  on 
network.   
Control PCB faulty. 

Check supply  voltage is at least 75% of rated 
voltage.    Check  5V  &  12V  terminal  voltages, 
5V  supply  must  be  present.  Disconnect 
network  bus  and  restore  power.    Replace 
control PCB. 

Dimmer  will  not  respond  to  control  panel  push 
buttons. 

Control 

panel 

incorrectly 

wired.  

Incorrect configuration. 

Check  operation  of  LEDs  on  control  panel.  
Push  button  on  panel  and  study  response  of 
service LED. 

Dimmer  operates  properly  but  circuit  breakers 
keep tripping. 

Instant tripping: - short circuit on load.  
Delayed tripping: - Dimmer overloaded. 

Check load wiring for short circuits. 
Verify  dimmer  loading  with  current  tester 
(don’t  forget  to  de-rate  for  low  power-factor 
loads and transformer losses). Check that the 
breaker terminals are tight. 

Fluorescent lights won’t dim. 

Wrong  type  of  ballast  or  ballast  incorrectly 
wired. Control cable from dimmer to ballasts 
not installed. 

Check  ballast  type.    Check  actual  wiring 
against  ballast  manufacturer’s  diagram. 
Check 1-10V/DSI cable and settings.
