xmaslightsnz Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Well after only two seasons with the CCR, which has been working perfectly. Decided that it was time to bring it out again to start some more sequences . And that where things have gone haywire. Well actually truthfully things arent working at all. I have no red led lights showing on the controller box for status, the harware control panel cant find it, due to no lights on controller. It was working fine thruout last years display never missed a beat. It has been in waterproof container thruout the season. After taking all displays down and pack away. Checked CCR before putting in storage. Working just fine. Now no lights on controller. Puzzled. Anyone have any ideas on what is or why its not working.

edvas69 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 First check the network cable you are using is not at fault and ensure that the LOR dongle has been recognised by your computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xmaslightsnz Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 Well update on CCR I tried a different power supply, got red lights, thought cool its fixed. Then had to go out so turned them off. Thought yep will programme new songs later on in the day. So got all cables connected power on. and bugga no red lights again, but the CCR'S themselves were on, so thought ok maybe its just a case of computer needs to find them. NOT!! Hardware Utility unable to find CCR. I know that power supply is good and works as I got it off my other strip lights and checked power and amps rating before I plugged in, both the same. Is there something I am missing? Or is it my controller unit stuffed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edvas69 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Something is not right with the CCR controller or strips, is the CCR still under warranty, do you have more than 1 CCR that you could swap the CCR strip with to determine if the issue moves to another controller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmaslightsnz Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 Unfortunally no i only have one CCR and prob not under warrenty as it 2yrs old now, the other strip light is just a straight RGB and not compatiable with CCR connections on RGB...
