NE OF THE MOTORS IS NOT WORKING
Check if the motorised expan jack is inserted properly in the power supply socket. Check if another expan running
from the same control box works. If it does, the first expan is broken - contact your local distributor to repair the
motor. If you have more than one control box, test the same motor on another control box and IR channel - if it now
works, the first control box is broken - contact your local distributor to repair the control box.

Check if the motorised expan jack is inserted properly in the power supply socket.
Check if you are using background that is too heavy. Check that the motorised expan and holders/frames are fixed
properly and do not cause additional friction to the motor.
Check if electrostatic discharge protection has been correctly set up on all motors (see "Quick start" paragraph).

LOW SOUND COMES FROM THE CONTROL BOX AND MOTOR WHEN TRYING TO ROLL THE BACKGROUND UP
Probably the temperature sensor has switched off the motor power supply. Let the internal circuity cool for one
minute. The most frequent reason of overheating is use of a background that is too heavy - check you have not
exceeded the maximum specified background weight.

Code "E1" means there is no impulse from the motor. Check if the motorised expan jack is inserted fully in the power
supply socket. Check if another expan is working, if yes the first expan's sensor circuit is broken - contact your local
distributor to repair the motor. If all motors show the same error, there is a problem with the control box's internal
circuit - contact your local distributor to repair the control box.
