• You will want to check the continuity going from the front box going to the
lights to make sure you don't have a cut wire somewhere on the 12/4 coil
cable.
◦
▪ If you have continuity in all the wires, then check continuity in the breakers.
◦
If you still have continuity read below
▪
• F) Check if the voltage is getting to your lights:
◦ If you checked the voltage on the batteries with you multimeter and say you have
26.5 volts DC, then you should be getting 25.5 volts DC to your lights. (1 volt drop
because of wire travel) Check the connections inside the J-Box located between the
lights for the voltage.
Q) Timer not working?
• A) Refer to Timer guide with steps on how to setup the timer.
◦ If no lights on are on the timer at all?
Make sure the breaker is on (In the UP position)
▪
Ensure lights work in Photocell or other manual mode
▪
▪ Check the battery on the timer. This is located on the back side of the timer itself.
• Take a picture before disconnecting the wires to the timer.
• Remove the 4 screws holding the timer in place.
• Then remove the battery backing and Replace with a new battery and reinstall
the timer.
Q) My Tristar controller is reading a fault. What does it mean?
• A) Refer back to the TriStar owner's manual for fault code.
◦ Troubleshoot from there.
Remember if the Tristar is in an error mode it will not allow any solar input to charge
◦
the batteries.
◦ Try resetting the Tristar.
Turn off the breaker, wait for a minute and turn the breaker back on.

To do this locate the color wires in the J-Box in between the lights. Using
1 lead place it on 1 colored wire and the other lead on the same-colored
wire in the control box. You will need a co-worker to help with this and
listen for the tone on your multimeter. If you don't hear the tone, then you
have a cut wire. You will need to either replace the cable or fix it before
the lights will work again.
To do this, Place one lead of the multimeter on the top side of the breaker
and the other one on the bottom side. With the breaker on (up position)
you should get a tone. If not then you may have a bad breaker.
