TROUBLESHOOTING
TROUBLESHOOTING THE SURESHADE ATF-SG INTELLIGENT
CONTROL BOX (ICB)
The SureShade ATF-SG Intelligent Control Box (ICB) is designed so that the shade will not operate at any
voltage under 10V at start-up of the shade. During operation of the shade, if the voltage drops below 9V, the
shade will shut down.
IF THE SHADE DOES NOT OPERATE
In the event the shade either does not operate at start-up or it shuts down during operation, the FIRST STEP
in troubleshooting is to ALWAYS CONFIRM VOLTAGE AT THE ICB:
1. Locate the ICB in the vessel.
2. Observe the status LED. If it is solid yellow voltage is below 9-volts DC.
The ICB also contains a number of additional indicators via status LED light to aid in troubleshooting e orts.
During normal operation, once the controller receives a signal from the switch or remote and the shade
starts to move, the status LED light will turn YELLOW. Once the shade is either
the controller is not receiving a signal to move (i.e. the shade is idle), the status LED light will be GREEN.

OTE:
This fault does not confi rm that the encoder is either good or bad, just that there is a communication issue. There
is a faulty power/signal connection between the ICB and the encoder and therefore the ICB will not operate.
Further troubleshooting is required.
"FORCE HARD HOME" RESET
In the event the shade does not return all the way to its home position and a retract command does not
resolve this issue, a "force hard home" action can be initiated on a new shade. After power-up, press both
movement buttons simultaneously on the remote, the ICB or on the switch input for more than 10 seconds
and hold until the shade returns to the home location.
