Troubleshooting

Issues Possible Causes Solution
The motor has no response Battery in motor is depleted Recharge with

compatible AC adaptor and check connection and positioning of solar PV panel
Insufficient charging from Solar PV Panel| Check connection and orientation of solar PV panel
Remote control battery is discharged| Replace battery
Battery is inserted incorrectly into remote control| Check battery polarity
Radio interference/shielding| Ensure remote control and the antenna on the motor are positioned away from metal objects
Receiver distance is too far from Remote Control| Move remote control to a closer position
Power failure| Check power supply to motor is connected and active
Incorrect wiring| Check that wiring is connected correctly (refer to motor installation instructions)
Motor beeps 10 times when in use| Battery voltage is low / PV (solar panel issue)| Recharge with AC adapter or check connection and positioning of solar PV panel

Cannot program a single motor (multiple motors respond)

|

Multiple motors are paired to the same channel.

| Always reserve an individual channel for programming functions
SYSTEM BEST PRACTICE – Provide an extra 15 channel remote in your multi-motor projects that provides individual control for each motor for programming purposes
Place all other motors into sleep mode (ref to P1 button instructions)

Upgrade to the industry’s most advanced Motor Program:
