TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
• Do not reset the breaker multiple times.
• If the unit is overloaded, the breaker will trip, shutting off the driver
and lighting.
• If the breaker reset button has been held down by hand or any type of
pressure, such as duct tape, or if the breaker has been reset multiple
times without troubleshooting, the unit will:
- Burn the driver bobbin.
- Burn the thermal or magnetic breaker.
- Burn the driver lead wires due to high amperage caused by overload.
- Short circuit in line which will not allow the breaker to reset.
- Damage the lighting.
1
Turn off power before beginning. Verify power is off by using a non-
contact circuit tester (by others).
2
Check lightstrip for damage, such as cuts, punctures, twisting, or
crushing. If there is excessive damage to the lightstrip, the lightstrip
must be replaced.
3
Check the run for any particles that may cause a short. Check the
end cap, power connector, and lightstrip for any metal flakes or
shavings. Clear the run of any shavings or particles if present, then
perform a continuity test to confi rm the short has been eliminated.
4
Check lightstrip cuts to ensure they are clean. Frayed, split, or
sloppily cut lightstrip can cause the positive and negative contacts
to touch, causing a short.
5
Check connections in the line. Ensure all splice connections are
secure and properly sealed with shrink tube and silicone for
outdoor applications. Ensure that wiring is not bent past the
permitted wiring bend radius (1.5").
6
Check the run for any water inside end cap, power connector, and
lightstrip. If water or condensation is has caused damage, the
lightstrip must be replaced.
