5.0 Troubleshooting

The Light is not Flashing

There are two faults that may occur with the R247 that will prevent the light from flashing:

1. Check the battery connection and the LED array connection to ensure that the

connectors are fully inserted. As the light is designed to function as soon as the battery

is plugged in, this should be fairly simple to diagnose.

The Light is Exhibiting Irregular Flash Patterns

Your R247 flasher may exhibit irregular flasher patterns under certain conditions. If you notice

that your R247 is flashing irregularly it may be a result of one of the following conditions:

1. Low battery condition: Under a low battery condition the R247 will exhibit the following

flash pattern: on 0.1 second, off 10 seconds, repeat. If your light is exhibiting this flash

code you will need to charge the unit's batteries. This can be done in several ways. If

there is sufficient insolation, disconnect the LEDs and allow the unit to charge for three

to five days. Batteries can also be charged by placing the unit under high-powered

halogen flood lights for three days. Also, ensure your unit's dip switch is set to the

lowest candela setting, as it is likely that the unit is drawing more energy than the solar

input.

2. The flasher has not been exposed to sunlight in 24 hours: Under this condition the light

will display the following flash pattern: on 0.1second, off 0.5 seconds, on 0.1 seconds,

off 0.5 seconds, on 0.1 seconds, off 5 seconds, repeat. In this situation it is best to

expose the unit to sunlight or high-powered halogen flood lamps. This measure should

stimulate the unit to begin producing its specified flash code.

If your R247 flasher still refuses to operate correctly, contact Carmanah Technologies Corp. at

877-722-8877 or contact your distributor.
