Check the following list.  If you are still unable to rectify the situation, contact your nearest Dynalite dealer.  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 

Load Controller 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  Load  Controller.    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. 

Load  Controller  will  not  respond  to  control  panel 
push buttons. 

Control  panel  incorrectly  wired  or  incorrect 
configuration. 

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

Load  Controller  operates  properly  but  circuit 
breakers keep tripping. 

Instant tripping: - short circuit on load.  
Delayed tripping: - Load Controller overloaded. 

Check load wiring for short circuits. 
Verify Load Controller 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  DRC810DT  to 
ballasts not installed. 

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