jpshulf Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I have been using my CTB16PCg3 for a few weeks now. My sequences seem to run fine where lights are blinking and fading, with lights typically staying on no more than 5 seconds or so. However when I turn on channels manually in the hardware utility they turn off suddenly after about 30 seconds. I also experienced this with a recent startup animation sequence I created in which I slowly turn everything on with fades. After a couple minutes with most of the lights on, everything instantly shuts off. I have 5-10 LED light strands on each channel. Am I missing something here?

What are you using as a power cord to FEED the controller. HOW LONG and what Gauge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpshulf Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 It is plugged directly into my gfi outlet receptacle with the 2 standard plugs that come with the controller. No extension cords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(But you might put a meter on the board input, and watch what it does just befor shutoff? BTW, this is a Factory unit fitted with the standard heatsink?

jpshulf Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 Yes, standard setup, nothing fancy. Will try a reset while I wait for LoR help desk to get back to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
