Troubleshooting and error codes

Problem	Probable Cause
All of the lights fail to work	Check that the transformer power is on. Check if there is a loose connection at the transformer screw terminal with the cable. Check that the power switch is not in an OFF setting. Check the connector to make sure the wire barbs have pierced the landscape cable.
Only some lights work	Halogen or incandescent bulbs (if applicable) can be burned out. Use caution as the bulb can be hot.
The lights are on during the day	The photocell is mounted in a dark area which causes the lights to turn on unnecessarily.
The lights do not switch on at dusk	The photocell is mounted in an area that has too much constant light at night ,preventing the system from turning on.
