TROUBLESHOOTING
Installation
Solution
An optional remote mounting plate and six foot extension cord are
available for purchase from Sunsetter Products.
1. Use the Remote Transmitter that came with this Motorized EasyShade.
Each Remote Transmitter is uniquely different.
2. The Remote Transmitter should be set to work on Channel 1 (one).
Press the UP
or DOWN
first Channel Indicator Light from the left should blink. If not, move
to the correct Channel by pressing the Channel Select Button. See
Appendix C for more information.
3. The Battery in the Solar Panel was originally shipped with enough
charge to run the Motorized EasyShade. Expose the Solar Panel to sun
for a full day to ensure enough charge exists in the Battery to run the
Solar Powered Motorized EasyShade
4. Visually inspect the Power Cord connecting the Motor to the Solar
Panel for possible damage.
5. Disconnect the Power Cord connector, between the Motor and Solar
Panel. Visually inspect the connector pins, ensuring none are bent
or broken. Connect the two Cord sections, ensuring the pins line up
properly and the Connector screws together tightly.
6. Listen to the motor. Press the UP
Transmitter and listen for the sound of the motor turning.
a. If the motor turns, the problem could be mechanical with the
Solar Screen. The motor may turn, but the Solar Screen may be
stuck inside the Housing. Try tugging on the Leading Bar in the
bottom Pleat of the Solar Screen, see if it unrolls from inside of the
EasyShade Housing.
b. If the motor does not turn, the problem could be related to the
Remote Transmitter. Go to Step 7.
7. Perform self test on the Remote Transmitter:
a. Press and hold the UP
the LED light blinks for at least 5 seconds, the Remote Transmitter
passes Self-Test.
b. If the LED does not blink, remove and replace the battery with
a new Lithium CR2430 battery. To replace the battery, see the
battery replacement instructions under Operation, on Page 10.
c. If the Remote Transmitter got wet, it may need to be replaced.
8. In extreme cold conditions, verify the EasyShade Solar Screen is not
"frozen" inside the housing.
a. A light tug on the Leading Bar in the bottom Pleat of the Solar
Screen may overcome slight freezing conditions.
