The OUT1 light is on, but I am getting 0 VDC. It won't engage my SSR and my voltage meter is getting a zero reading. Any tips?

You can think of out 1 just as a relay. If you want to use a voltage controlled sold state relay it won't work connected directly. It should work with ssr-va relays when wired properly. I had an old ssr lying around, so I used an old 5v cell charger for the control signal. It was easy to wire it to the same power as my pid, so it works whenever I plug in the unit. Good luck!!

If it is a rnr then it won't control your SSR its simply just a relay contact. You need an snr

Consider using multistrand, connector wire - it has less resistance. Check the current under various lighting conditions. Good Luck

All i did was make sure the light was on with all pixels lighting and plugged into a wall outlet. The light went out and began to chage. Once I pulled the light from the outlet it automatically goes on - which I think replicates its use in a power failure. Hope this helps...

I would consider checking the LED strip where/if you cut it. Also check the 12v connections to the box, both power in and LED strip out. If that is good try grounding the box possibly. I'm not completely sure for I did not have this problem. Did yours come with a User Manual?

I think you need to check your controller specs, but I know some controllers may just shut off to prevent damage. Also note these panels are higher voltage which may not be compatible with your controller. I bought a charge controller that won't work with these because the voltage may go up to 45V on these panels. Now I run two of these with the Morningstar MPPT 45A charge controller. Morningstar has a calculator on their site that will confirm whether a planned setup will work with their charge controllers or not. I am planning on adding one more panel to my setup. The 45A MPPT charge controller can handle 3 of these panels. Good luck! I think you need to check your controller specs, but I know some controllers may just shut off to prevent damage.

Did you try to plug light in the other outlet? And did you reset the unit? Hope this works

Make shure their is no a/c bleed over,and that it is d/c12v. Not 12 v a/c. Then you should be ok. Also double check the amps you only need one or two amps to run the lights. Use a fuse!

Bad connection??I haven't had this happen. Been using the gauges about 2 years now.If voltage is right around the cutoff of 4.5V I suppose it could blink on/off as the voltage hovers around that point. Gauge puts a tiny load on system so volts would drop, then without the load V would increase again over 4.5V so it would light up again, and the cycle would repeat.

I have this same problem. Do I need to replace the main circuit board or the display board. I can get all readings, just no lighted buttons such as power, generating etc.

If the control pane is blank, and you're sure the outlet it's plugged into has power, it may have thrown the internal circuit breaker. Open the front panel, inside there is a 15amp circuit breaker. Very obvious. Make sure it is up/on. Mine has been blowing that every few days lately. Navien says they think its a bad recirculation pump.

I may can help you with your issue, but need more details. Using a voltmeter, start with making sure you have 12vdc power coming in and terminated to the correct input wires. If you have 12vdc there, then press the "on" button on the remote and check the voltage on the 12vdc output wires. You should get 12vdc. Then press the "off" button on the remote. You should lose the 12vdc on those same output wires. If this tests out ok, you should be good to go. If not, the control unit is unfortunately bad. Send back for an exchange.

Are you using the proper power supply. I was cleaning rearranging my desktop, and inadvertently plugged the power supply from my modem into the laCie drive. It had enough power to turn the light on, but not enough to actually run the drive. I HAVE had a couple issues with my drive. The USB port now routinely disconnects for not apparent reason. Makes it difficult to copy large files.

Have a look at the back of your power brick (you may need magnifier, I do), it will have an output value saying ___ VDC. If that is 12 or 19 then you should be good to go.

Am having the same problem I brought 18 light only 8 working I can't get d rest to work

Dont have an answer. I double checked my connections multiple times, same with making sure had proper wiring. nothing happened. removed controller and went with another option. money down the drain!

Make sure the input and output are correct. If it still doesn't work then it's the power source. Try a different outlet.

Use a volt ohm meter set to continuity and touch the red probe to one prong and the black probe to the other prong. If the meter reads open or over load it is bad.
