Al Dube Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Ok Guys,I have ta ask, has anyone had a problem with the new Generation 3 Controllers, I bought one new one (CTB16PC) and finally got around to hooking it up tonight.. Power up was good, even able to set its address, but after it sat there for a few minutes powered up, it got really hot and finally shut down... No status light, no response, no nothing !!!! Checked everything, fuses good, no shorts on outputs... I will call LOR in the morning and talk to them but I'm curious if anyone has had a problem..Help me obewan !!

JBullard Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 What did you have hooked up to the outputs ?What was your current draw per channel, per bank of channels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBullard Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I see from your other post that you received a Gen 2 kit.http://forums.lightorama.com/forum84/30015.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dube Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 All the Kudos and Thanks that I can muster to Dan and his staff, they are shipping me a unit next day (I will pay for next day)...I sure do wish that even a small percentage of company's in this Great Country of ours did business the way Dan and Light-O Rama do, we would all be a lot happier and have a lot less stress in our lives, I know I would..Once again Thanks Dan, your the Best !!!!"Al" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
