TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem

Cause

Remedy

Motor is not responding

Battery Pack or Tube is depleted

Recharge Battery Pack with compatible AC adapter and 
check connection and positioning of PV panel. Replace 8 
AA Li-ion Batteries in Battery Tube.

Insufficient charging from Solar 
(PV) Panel

Check connection and orientation of PV panel.

AC Power Supply not plugged in

Check motor to power cable connection and AC plug.

Transmitter battery is discharged

Replace battery.

Battery is inserted incorrectly  
into transmitter

Check battery polarity.

Radio interference / Shielding

Ensure transmitter is positioned away from metal objects 
and that antenna on motor or receiver is kept straight and 
away from metal.

Receiver distance is too far
from transmitter

Move transmitter to a closer position.

Power failure

Check power supply to motor is connected and active.

Incorrect wiring

Check wiring is connected correctly (refer to motor 
installation instructions).

Motor beeps 10 times when 
in use

Battery voltage is low / PV (solar) 
panel issue

Recharge with AC adapter or check connection and 
positioning of PV panel.

Cannot program a single 
Motor (multiple motors 
respond)

Multiple motors are paired to  
the same channel

Always reserve an individual channel
for programming functions.

SYSTEM BEST PRACTICE - Provide an extra 15 channel 
remote in your multi motor projects, that provides individual 
control for each motor for programming purposes.

Place all other motors into sleep mode (see 

page 14

).
