Re: Jaguar Lighting

Slow flashing red on the Jaguar indicates a fault. It can be either a under voltage, an over current or an over temperature fault or a limit has been reached. The fault results in no operation once the fault has been encountered and it remains for 3-4 seconds. If your LED is staying in the slow red flash for three seconds, then look into one of these causes. A low voltage condition is often caused by a low battery. A high current is usually caused by CIM motors in turns using sticky wheels and tank drive mode. High temp is usually caused by blocked cooling air in or around the jaguars.
