TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem – The motor has no response
| Cause | Solution |
| Battery in motor is depleted Insufficient charging from Solar Panel Remote control battery is discharged or not installed properly Radio interference / shielding Receiver distance is too far Power failure Incorrect wiring |
Recharge with compatible AC adaptor and check connection and positioning of solar panel Check connection and orientation of solar panel. Replace battery or check placement. Ensure remote control and the antenna on the motor are positioned away from metal objects. Move the remote control to a closer position. Check power supply to motor is connected/active. Check that wiring is connected correctly. |
Problem – The Motor beeps 10 times when in use
| Cause | Solution |
| Battery voltage is low/ Solar Panel Issue | Recharge with AC adapter or check connection and positioning of solar PV panel |
Problem – The Motor Will Not Program or Connect
| Cause | Solution |
| Check if the motor in Sleep Mode Multiple Motors are paired to the same Channel |
Press the P1 button on the motor for 2 seconds to activate Pairing Mode. Always reserve a channel for programming. To work on a single motor at a time, place all other motors into sleep mode. Press the “P1” button (about 6 ec) on the motor head until motor jog x2 and beep x2. |
