Troubleshooting
1. The Electronics Module will not power on. - Ensure the batteries are
oriented correctly (see diagram on the battery caddy) and that they are fully
inserted into the battery caddy, stopping at the line marked by the arrow in
the center. Double check that the batteries are charged up properly.
2. The motor does not move or hold position when electronics module is
powered on. - Reseat the motor connector firmly into the motor port. Ensure
none of the wires of the motor pin have separated from the motor connector.
3. The slider plate struggles to move / the motor is making strange noises -
Check to make sure that the stopper bolt is loose and not engaging with the
slider frame.If that doesn't work, you may have to reduce the weight of your
camera setup to a usable weight limit. (Typically 5-6lbs)
4. The electronics box / motor is really hot or smoking. - Disconnect the
battery caddy from the electronics module if safe to do so. If the batteries are
hot, put them in a place far away from flammable items.
5. The slider plate movement is no longer smooth. - Ensure the slider track
where the wheels make contact as well as the wheels themselves are clean of
any dirt or debris. Use only isopropyl alcohol to clean the wheels / track.
