Troubleshooting Tips
If the Helios 1 is not performing as expected, try the following:
a. Conrm that your power input is active from your breaker panel and providing 120
Volts/50 Amps/60 Hz to the controller.
b. Check the voltage input of your incoming cord set using a voltage test meter to verify
power is owing to the controller.
c. Make sure all of your connections are tight. Loose connections can cause “arching”.
d. Then conrm that power is active and proper at your 120 volt outlets.
e. Verify that your power cords and ballasts are functioning properly and that there are
no shorts or arching occurring.
f. Should you nd your circuit breaker keeps tripping, check your breakers to verify that
they are the right amperage for your application.
g. If you turn ‘OFF” the power switch and your lights remain on, contact us immediately
for resolution.
