Trouble Shooting
If a channel is not working check the Circuit Breaker for that channel.
If the Circuit Breaker has tripped (OFF), firstly try to determine the cause of the breaker tripping.
It could be a blown lamp, a circuit overload or and earth leakage fault. Rectify the problem (replace
the lamp or reduce the load) then restore the Circuit Breaker. If the Circuit Breaker continues to
trip, refer the problem to a suitably qualified person.
