If the LED turns white when the controller is powered on, then the controller is in warm-up mode. This is to prevent false PIR triggers when the PIR sensor first turns on.
The controller will be ready to play when the PIR is warmed up, or once 1 minute has passed (when controller is set for continuous input).
My Controller Won't Record Animation
If the LED turns off instead of red when you hold the Play/Rec button to start recording, then your controller is in Write Protect Mode. Please read the Write Protect Mode section of the User Manual to learn more.
Outputs are On When Not Playing
If one or both outputs are on when the controller is on, then they are set to inverted output. Please read the Controller Configuration section of the User Manual if this is not the desired behavior.
Controller Does Not Trigger
When the controller is powered on, confirm there is an animation recorded by pressing the Play/Rec button. The LED should turn yellow and the animation will play.
If there is an animation recorded, but the LED does not turn yellow when the Input is triggered verify that the input wiring is correct by referencing the User Manual or videos.
To test the input circuitry, use a piece of wire and touch the screw on the GND(-) terminal to the screw on the IN terminal. This should trigger the animation. If it does not, then your controller is damaged. Please contact us.
Can This Control 120V AC?
No, you can not control AC voltages directly with the Aamon Duo since the outputs are solid-state. You can use an external relay with the controller which will allow you to control high current and AC voltages!
Can this be used outdoors?
This controller is not suited for outdoor use without a cover. We recommend placing it in an enclosure such as a SOCKiTBOX.
Can I control a wiper motor with this controller?
This is a solid-state controller, so it can not directly control a wiper motor. You will need to use external relays to control a motor.
We recommend our Wiper Motor Module which makes wiring a wiper motor really easy.
