Solution/Test
1
Oval (SETR)
LEDs do not light.
a
The +12vdc or 24vdc and/or
negative (-) power source to
Oval has an open fuse, open
breaker or open wire connection.
Connect a DC Voltmeter positive lead to +12/24vdc
terminal (far left terminal) on Oval control, and the negative
lead to the center terminal and meter should show +12 or
24vdc (see wiring diagram Fig 5). If not, check fuse,
breaker and wiring.
b
The +12vdc or 24vdc connected
to AUX terminal is switched to
off state (see Note in Oval wiring
diagram).
A Switched (closed contact) +12vdc or 24vdc MUST BE
CONNECTED TO AUX TERMINAL for Oval control
to energize LEDs and function.
Connect a DC Voltmeter
positive lead to AUX terminal (far right terminal), and the
negative lead to the center terminal and meter should show
+12 or 24vdc. If not, check fuse, breaker, aux switch and
wiring for open connection. A jumper wire may also be
connect between the +12/24vdc terminal (far left) and AUX
terminal (far right) to test Oval control for LED
functioning. When jumper is connected, LEDs should light.
c
Oval control programmed to
"LEDs OFF" state. See Oval
program chart tab.
Enter Oval program mode under "LED's On/Off" and set to
"LEDs ON" state. See Oval program chart tab at
www.lectrotab.com under Products/Oval.
d
In a dual station system, the
second station Oval control
LEDs do not light or function
due to open 2 conductor
communication cable or loss of
12/24vdc power to second
station.
Test second station Oval control as in section (1a) described
above. Test to make sure 2 conductor cable and plug
connected to secondary and primary stations are good
connections and the wire is not cut or open. If the second
station still does not light, try test section (1b) described
above. If the jumper test in (1b) does not light the Oval
LEDs, then replace the Oval control.
2
Actuator does not
deploy or retract
tab when Bow
Down or Bow Up
is pressed on Oval
control.
a
Failed actuator, poor wiring
connection or failed Oval
control.
C12vdc (Actuator serial number begins with A or
C) or 24vdc (Actuator serial number begins with B or D) to
BLACK actuator wire, and battery negative (-) to WHITE
actuator wire (see wiring diagram Fig 5). This should
deploy the actuator and tab. Reverse polarity to retract the
actuator and tab. If the tab does not deploy or retract,
replace the actuator. If actuator does deploy and retract,
check wiring and repair any poor connections. If actuator
still does not deploy or retract, replace Oval control.
3
Oval LEDs stay
dim in sunlight.
a
The Oval control is equipped
with a photo sensor to dim the
LEDs in the shade or darkness or
brighten the LEDs in sunlight for
proper operation.
Shine a flashlight directly into the photo sensor located at
the top center of the Oval control. If the LEDs brighten, the
Oval control is operating properly. If the LEDs do not
brighten, replace the Oval control.
4
Oval LEDs stay
bright during
night.
a
The Oval control is equipped
with a photo sensor to dim the
LEDs in the shade or darkness or
brighten the LEDs in sunlight for
proper operation.
Cover your finger completely over the photo sensor located
at the top center of the Oval control. If the LEDs dim, the
Oval control is operation properly. If the LEDs do not dim,
replace the Oval control.
