TROUBLESHOOTING
If the EPSX402 stops working check the following:
1) POWER CONNECTIONS
Check for corroded connections to +12/24V and Ground.
A bad connection will cause the voltage to drop at the
EPSX402. The EPSX402 will shut off if the voltage drops below 10 Volts.
2) OUTPUT SHORT CIRCUIT.
The EPSX402 will shut down if there is a short circuit condition on any one of the strobe heads. If the electrical conductors connecting the power supply to the strobe heads are exposed to water a short circuit will result. The first sign is intermittent operation, followed by complete shutdown of the strobe system.
To find the short circuit, unplug all strobe head cables from the
EPSX402. Test one cable/head at a time until the problem is found. Water shoring shows as a blue/green colored residue where the short circuit has occurred.
WARNING!
