8. Trouble shooting:
Question 1:After power, the T-4000 ERROR indicator has been flashing without display output
answer:The ERROR indicator has been flashing means the controller did not read the card correctly, possible problems:
①SD card is empty, with no effect file.
②The effect file in the SD card and the controller model are not match, please choose correct controller model in LedEdit and then re-create the effect file *led.
③SD card did not format to FAT before copy effect files.
④Please check the supply power voltage, the controller can be individually powered to exclude power reasons
⑤Changing the SD card and then test to exclude the possibility of a bad SD card
Question 2: The controller is powered on, the indicator is normal, but the lamps have no effect change
Answer: The reasons for this are as follows:
① Check if the lamp′s signal line and the controller connected correctly
② If the TTL signal is received, the lamp and the controller must be common ground, that means connect the lamp′s and the controller′s ground together
③ Check if the model chose during making display files on the SD card match the chips used in the lighting
Question 3:Controller and light connected, after. Lamps flicker. Controller indicator to normal.
Answer:① The ground wire is not connected between the controller and lighting.
② The file in SD card is bad, Chip model does not match with the actual.
③ Insufficient power supply.
Question 4:The SD card can not be formatted.
Answer:①First make sure the SD card on the side of the protection switch is already open.
②SD card reader is broken
③Do all of this can’t deal with the question. Change the SD card tests again.
