      Molly BernardAug 19, 2025
      If your horn, horn strobes, or strobes aren't synchronizing, it could be due to improper MODE selection or incompatible appliances. Verify the MODE selection and ensure that the appliances are the correct type for synchronization. If in IN>OUT MODE, check the input appliance (DSM, SM, or PS-12/24-8MP).

    What to do if CLASS “A” circuit is not functioning properly on Wheelock Power Supply?
    • R
      ramirezbrettAug 26, 2025
      If a CLASS “A” circuit isn't functioning correctly, the MODE selection or SW9 settings might be incorrect. Ensure the MODE selection is identical for each Class “A” output circuit. Remember that Class “A” OUT1 uses outputs 1 and 3, while Class “A” OUT2 uses outputs 2 and 4. Also, check that SW9 POS 1 and POS 2 on the board are in the “ON” position.
