Troubleshooting

Beacon does not light up

Verify the 24V power supply is active and correctly connected. Check the DEUTSCH plug connection for security and proper seating. Ensure local regulations permit its use.

Flickering or inconsistent light

Check the power connections for any looseness or corrosion. Ensure the vehicle's voltage is stable at 24V. Inspect the beacon for physical damage.

Beacon not as bright as expected

Ensure the lens is clean and free from dirt or debris. Check that the beacon is receiving the correct voltage (24V) and that the connection is secure.
