Losing power through DS.

If all else fails, in the previous years we’ve wired the light into the 12V terminal on the PD board. Could we splice the wires to the light and wires to the D-Link together and connect it to the same terminal?

You may think you wired it into the 12v terminal, but if you passed inspection, it most certainly was not. That is a very specific thing that is checked for during the power-up phase of inspection. It also is very likely to be noticed by the field personnel if not working properly.

In rare cases I have seen a DSC with all three lights on but dim. There was no connection to 12 volts on the PD. All three lights have to be on and bright.

While we’re on the DS, PWM channels 4-10 didn’t seem to function at all, sending signal to the Jaguars it was told to. In the code, we changed the PWM to 4-10 depending on which channel we were testing. Could it be possible that ALL of these channels are blown? We’ve swapped PWM cables, used other channels, and tested other Jaguars to find that everything EXCEPT the PWM channels work.

I would also check the power to the DS. We had a similar problem last year.
