Troubleshooting

Unit not functioning after installation

Verify that the unit is correctly seated in a compatible RM or Dual (RM+CM) Grid Plate. Check that the fuse has not blown; if it has, replace it with one of the correct rating. Ensure all wiring connections are secure and that power is restored.

Fuse blows repeatedly

This indicates an electrical fault or overload in the connected appliance or circuit. Disconnect the appliance and test it independently. If the appliance is faulty, it needs repair or replacement. Consult a qualified electrician if the issue persists.

Incompatibility with existing plates

Confirm that you are using a Soho Lighting RM or Dual (RM+CM) Grid Plate. This module will not function with other types of Soho Lighting plates (CM, EM, LT1, LT2, LT3) or plates from other manufacturers.
