Troubleshooting:
1. The LED light is not illuminating when I switch it on via the manual dimmer.
Ans: (i) Check all connections are secure. Check power supply is plugged in and
switched on. Note: some vehicle cigarette sockets can be a loose t and cause
problems with the connection. Try pushing the cigarette plug in further. If this
still does not work you will need to use a different power source. You can connect
directly to the battery using Item 5.
(ii) If it is still not working try unplugging the dimmer switch and connecting the LED
directly to the power source. If it now works you have located a problem in the
dimmer switch operation. Contact the nearest Rhino-Rack distributor for service.
(iii) If it is still not working, open up 3 metre cigarette socket lead using a phillips
head screwdriver and check the glass tube fuse. If this is blown, replace with a
20mm 8A Fuse (F8A250V).
2. What happens if an individual LED gets damaged? Will the entire LED stop working?
Ans: No. The LED will continue working except for the damaged LED chip. Note: The
LED’s are arranged in lots of 3. Therefore if one is damaged, 2 others will also stop
working.
3. Can the LED’s be repaired if damaged?
Ans: No. As the LED’s are encased in a IP68 rated resin, once they are damaged they
remain like this. The LED will continue operating normally and is still ne to use.
4. The remote dimmer appears to stop working or is working intermittently.
Ans: Check all connections are secure and the power source is plugged in and turned
on. If it is still not working check / replace the batteries in the hand remote
by removing the back cover.
5. When using the three way splitter [Item 9] do I need to use leads on all connections?
Ans: No. You can either run 1, 2 or 3 additional circuits off the splittler. Note: a
maximum of 6x 50cm LED’s can be used off one power supply.
6. How do I install on my Foxwing, Sunseeker or Tag-Along Tent?
Ans: There are several ways the lights can be installed.
(i) Using the magnets at either end they can be connected to metal objects (not
alloy). A small metal washer can be super glued onto your awning extrusion.
Ensure it does not interfere with operation of the awning.
(ii) A metal washer can be placed on top of the fabric and the LED can be
magnetised through the fabric.
(iii)Using the Hook and loop fastener ties it can be attached to any of the
horizontal or vertical alloy poles. Ensure leads are neatly tucked away by running
them behind any Hook and loop fastener securing tabs.
