7. Check list for troubleshooting

Parts are getting very hot and/or start to smoke.

   Disconnect the  system from the mains immediately!

Possible cause: The connections to the power supply are connected
the wrong round. 

à

 Check the connection. In this case the PCB and

the connected LEDs are probably damaged irreparably.

The LED(s) does / do not light.
Possible cause: The connection to the power supply is interrupted.

à

 Check the connections.

Possible   cause:   If   connected   to   direct   (analogue)   voltage   the
connections   "+"   and   "-"   are   incorrectly   connected.  

à

  Check   the

connections.

The LED(s) only lights / light in one direction of motion. 
Possible   cause:   There   is   no   rectifier   mounted   in   series   although
connected to direct voltage. 

à

 Mount a rectifier.

Hotline: 

If problems with your module occur, our hotline is pleased to 

help you (mail address on the last page). 

Repairs: 

You can send in a defective module for repair (address on the

last page). In case of  guarantee the repair is free of charge for you.
With damages not covered  by guarantee, the maximum fee  for  the
repair is 50 % of the sales price according to our valid price list. We
reserve the right to reject the repairing of a moduel when the repair is
impossible for technical or economic reasons. 
Please do not send in modules for repair charged to us. In case of
warranty we will reimburse the forwarding expenses up to the flat rate
we   charge   according   to   our   valid   price   list   for   the   delivery   of   the
product. With repairs not covered by guarantee you have to bear the
expenses for sending back and forth.
