    • J
      Jared DawsonAug 26, 2025
      If the horn, horn strobes, or strobes do not synchronize, it may be due to an improper MODE selection or improper appliances. Check the MODE selection and ensure that the appliances are the correct type for synchronization. If using IN>OUT MODE, check the input appliance (DSM, SM, or PS-12/24-8).

    • J
      Jeremy CallahanAug 28, 2025
      If the FAULT LED is flashing on your Wheelock Power Supply, it indicates a trouble condition with inputs or outputs. Check the inputs if the INP1 or INP2 LEDs are flashing, check the outputs if the OUT1, OUT2, OUT3, or OUT4 LEDs are flashing, and check the circuit connected to the C “FAULT” NC terminals.

    Why is CLASS “A” circuit not functioning properly on Wheelock POWERPATH PS-12-24-8?
    • A
      Angel SalasAug 30, 2025
      If a CLASS “A” circuit is not functioning properly on your Wheelock Power Supply, it could be due to an improper MODE selection or SW1/SW2 setting. Make sure the MODE selection is the same for each CLASS “A” output circuit. Note that CLASS “A” OUT1 uses outputs 1 and 3, while Class “A” OUT2 uses outputs 2 and 4. Also, check SW1 and SW2 on the Logic Board to ensure they are in the “CLOSED” position.
