Why are the LEDs on my Carmanah G Series flashing dimly?

  If the LEDs on your Carmanah Security System are dim when flashing, it could be due to low battery voltage. First, check the OBUI for ALC status and battery voltage. Make sure the solar panel is clean and free from obstructions like debris, buildings, or vegetation that could be shading it. Also, check the ambient light sensor on top of the solar engine to ensure it's clean and correctly detecting day and night.

  If the LEDs on your Carmanah Security System are flashing when no button is pressed, it might be due to another nearby system on the same radio channel activating your system. Use the OBUI to ensure all units in your group are set to the correct radio channel, and verify that nearby systems at different locations are using a different channel.

How to fix Carmanah G Series EMS that does not activate?

  John HobbsAug 25, 2025
  To resolve the issue where the EMS on your Carmanah Security System doesn't activate or display information, start by checking both battery fuses. Use a voltmeter to measure the battery voltage, which should be a minimum of 12 volts, with 12.6 volts being nominal. If the voltage is very low, charge or replace the batteries and monitor the system. Ensure the solar panel is clean, clear of debris, and not shaded.

Why do Carmanah G Series LEDs flash on one post but not others in the group?
- J
  Joan RichardsonAug 27, 2025
  If the LEDs on the same post flash, but other systems in the wireless group of your Carmanah Security System do not, the issue is likely a radio problem. Ensure that all units are set to the same radio channel using the OBUI. Also, make sure the units are not too far apart; the maximum unobstructed distance is 1,000 feet (305m), but obstructions like buildings can limit the range.

Why does only one LED fixture flash on my Carmanah G Series post?

  Lauren JacksonAug 30, 2025
  If one LED fixture on a post of your Carmanah Security System flashes, but others on the same post do not, it's likely due to improper wiring. Ensure that the wire colors and polarities match the instructions. Also, check that the electrical connections are secure.

  If the LEDs on your Carmanah Security System won't flash when the pushbutton on the same post is pressed, it could be due to button failure, a wiring issue, low battery voltage, or EMS failure. Here are some steps to troubleshoot: 1. Check that the button is functioning and providing feedback. 2. Check the wiring to the button and LED fixtures for continuity, ensuring no pinched wires. 3. Verify the correct wiring pattern (polarity) on the LED fixtures. 4. Check the battery voltage. 5. Test the system using the “Test” function in the OBUI to isolate the problem to the button or its wiring.

Why is my Carmanah G Series Security System EMS not activating or displaying information?
- E
  Erin SaundersSep 4, 2025
  If the EMS on your Carmanah Security System isn't activating, check if the battery or AC power input voltage is above 12V. If it's low, charge or replace the battery. Also, check all fuses. Make sure the solar panel is clean and not shaded to allow proper battery charging.

  If the LEDs on your Carmanah Security System are dim when flashing, check the OBUI for ALC status and battery voltage. Ensure the solar panel is clean and not shaded, as this can cause automatic light control mode (ALC). Check for debris covering the ambient light sensor and confirm it's detecting day and night correctly. You can use a flashlight to simulate day or cover the photosensor to simulate night. Confirm the intensity is set correctly and check the Ambient Auto-Adjust (AAA) setting on the OBUI. Try turning off the AAA to see if it corrects the dim LEDs.
