If the breaker continues to trip, the power supply is bad and should be
returned for warranty replacement or repair. See Section 10 for more
info on the warranty and return instructions.
8.2.2.
If
the breaker doesn’t trip after the
Sonic Head is disconnected check the
voltage on Pins 1 & 4 as shown in
Figure 8-1.
If the voltage output from
the Power Supply is approx. 44Vdc then the fault lies with the Sonic
Head itself or the cable that attaches it to the Power Supply. See Section
10 for Customer Service contact info.
8.3.
Condition:
Solar Controller
–
Blue
“Sonic Head” LED light is not blinking.
8.3.1.
Verify that
the Green “Status” light on the Solar Controller is illuminated.
If not, then the batteries are completely discharged or the power cable
from the battery box to the Solar Controller is not working.
Using a voltmeter, check across the output terminals of each battery
and verify that each individual battery has a voltage level of at least 11
Vdc.
If the batteries are discharged below 11v use a standard car battery
charger connected across one battery at a time to bring them both back
up to a full charge.
If the batteries are properly charged but the Green Status Light is not on
and the blue
“Sonic Head”
light is still not flashing then the problem lies
with the Transducer Power Cable, the Solar Controller or the Transducer
Assembly, or Power On/Off Switche
s were not turned ‘ON’.
