Re: IR Sensors Flashing

Becky,
Short-Circuit Protection is indicated by flashing green and orange LEDs. This means that the output is drawing more than 100ma. I am guessing this is the condition you are seeing. I suspect a short between output and +12volts. I suspect the yellow flashing is also part of this as it tries to turn on and then is inhibited by the short circuit protection.
