      If the leaves suddenly stop during moving when using your PowerTech Control Panel, consider the following: 1. Check if the “RESET” socket is activated. 2. Ensure the wiring connection of the gear motors is firm. 3. Ensure the hall sensor wiring connection is firm. 4. If no photocells are installed, the GND terminal of the photocells on the PCB must be short-circuited. 5. Make sure the fuse is workable.

      If the leaves on your PowerTech Control Panel either don't move or only move in one direction, here's what you should check: 1. See if the “RESET” socket is activated. 2. Make sure the wiring connection of the gear motors is firm. 3. Confirm the hall sensor wiring connection is secure. 4. If you haven't installed photocells, be sure the GND terminal of the photocells on the PCB is short-circuited.
