jmraider Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I have a 16 CCRII Pixel Tree, about 3 years old. One of the CCRII (#3) have started to act up. The symptoms are as follows. I turn off the controller about an hour after the shows at night, then that controller goes on the next evening 30 minutes before the shows (have it set to a Wemo plug). When I turned the box on during the day today to start testing it, CCR#3 worked. However, tonight CCR #3 worked for a little bit then froze on red in different places on the CCR strip, then I turned off the controller for a 1 minute and the red freeze goes away, but then CCRII #3 does not work at all anymore. I think my issue may be in the controller on that channel (#3), what is the best way to troubleshoot. I believe that the actual strip CCR#3 is working because it worked today when I first turned it on during the day to test and again tonight when my shows began. Seems like after the controller is running for a while CCR#3 has issues. Also any ideas for a quick fix that will not cause my controller to go out.

jmraider Posted December 8, 2020 Author Share Posted December 8, 2020 Correction - disregard the above information I think I just discovered that the CCRII lead wire (#3) looks like it is fraying. I assume I can just cut the outside piece of the three whites and splice it. When I wiggled the lead wire the CCR strip would go on, then after a while go off or to partial. Am I correct in my assumption? See a picture of the wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDucks Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Properly done splices are fine for pixels. By properly, I mean: 1) 1 for 1 lead match (might be color making it easy). 2) Neatly spliced , soldered or crimp and well insulated from the other splices ( 💡 If you have extra length available: stagger the splices so no 2 are alongside each other. makes a tighter patch). 3) Wrap (seal) the entire area to prevent moisture and add strength Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
