Troubleshooting Tips
If the Helios 11 is not performing as expected, try the following:
a. Confi rm that your power input is active from your breaker panel and providing 240
Volts/ 30 Amps/60 Hz to the controller.
b. Check the voltage input of your incoming cord set using a voltage test meter to verify
power is fl owing to the controller.
c. Make sure all of your connections are tight. Loose connections can cause "arcing".
d. Then confi rm that power is active and proper at your 240 volt outlets.
e. Verify that your power cords and ballasts are functioning properly and that there are
no shorts or arching occurring.
f. Should you fi nd your circuit breaker keeps tripping, check your breakers to verify that
they are the right amperage for your application.
g. If you unplug the trigger cord set and your lights remain on, contact us immediately
for resolution.
