RC1xx LED Lighting Controllers - User Manual

 41 

Error 

number

Reason

Err 43, 

OP

The requested output current requires too high a 
voltage.

Err 44, 

FAt

Fatal error:

 The RC1xx is too hot. The unit has a 

thermal cut out which operates between approximately 
65°C and 70°C depending on conditions.

Err 46

The channel output power is greater than the maximum 
allowed 30W.

Err 47, 

FAS

Internal protection has activated to prevent too much 
heat in the output driver.
