Why does my VENTRIX installation not power ON?

Steps to Follow: 

1. Turn Off Main Power:

   • Prior to conducting any inspections, ensure the main power is turned OFF. Locate the main power switch or circuit breaker and switch it to the OFF position to ensure a safe evaluation.

2. Inspect Main and Branch Circuit Fuses or Breakers:

   • Visually examine both the main circuit fuses and branch circuit fuses or breakers. Look for signs of damage, tripping, or irregularities. Replace any blown fuses or reset tripped breakers as needed.
     • Use caution when inspecting connections to the circuit breaker. Verify that the main power remains OFF during this inspection to prevent electrical hazards.

3. Check Line Wire Connection to CPU:

   • Inspect the line wire connection to the CPU. Confirm that the wires are securely connected and there are no loose or damaged connections. Ensure the line wires are unswitched for continuous power to the CPU.

4. Verify Dimmer and Switch Connections:

   • If using dimmers or switches, ensure they are correctly wired to the CPU switch connection point. Confirm proper connections to avoid interruptions in power supply and control.

5. Inspect Low Voltage Control Wire Connections:

   • Review the low voltage control wire connections between the CPU and the channel. Look for any wear, corrosion, or loose connections. Address any issues found during this inspection.

6. Secure Loose Connections:

   • If any loose connections are identified, secure them by tightening or reseating the wires. Properly secured connections are crucial for reliable and safe operation.

7. Power On for Verification:

   • Once the inspections and necessary adjustments are complete, turn the main power back ON. Verify that the system powers up without issues.
