button 

Check the AC cord IEC connector is properly 

connected to the switching power supply and that it 
is connected to a live AC mains outlet. 

Check DC plug is fully inserted into the SLSLLG2 DC 

jack labeled; 5 VDC 2.4 A. 

Shutter does not open or 
close 

Check the SLSLLG2 shutter cable 4 pin Mini-Din plug 

has arrow facing up and is fully inserted into the 
connector labeled OUTPUT. 

Status LED turned amber.  

In Protection Mode; Status LED should be green 

under normal operating conditions, and turn amber 
as a warning to state there is 3 minutes until 
shutdown (at modulation frequencies of 11 to 
15 Hz). See Section 4.5, page 10. 

Status LED turned Red. 

In Protection Mode: Based on modulation frequency if 

>10 Hz a timeout period is applied to disable the 
shutter drive circuit after the amber LED 3 minute 
warning. 

Shutter operation is erratic 
or stuck 

Verify the shutter head is not located near magnetic 

sources or directly against ferrous materials, 
especially the front surface. 

Unit powers on when DC 
power is applied 

Default to On

” mode has been set. Follow steps on 

page 11 to disable. 

 

CAUTION 

Prolonged modulation of these shutters will eventually result in premature 

component wear and failure. This device is not intended for long-term 

continuous modulation.
