XR15 G4 Issue

[miller75]

I have an issue with one of my XR15 G4's. The light works fine until its unplugged or we have a power cut, after power loss it wont turn on and I have to disconnect the power for a couple of hours then it will fire up.

I am guessing when I disconnect the power its draining the capacitors then its ok, has anyone come across this before?

Unfortunately we don't have anyone like @_AV over here in the UK that repaires them

Are you sure this is not a schedule issue? It sure sounds like it. Radions always had issues sticking to schedules in general and after power outages in particular. If you can connect to the light after the power outage and reprogram it, the issue may not be electrical...

Thanks for the reply. I cant do anything with it, it wont connect to Mobius or Reeflink all that happens is the buttons flash really quickly once then nothing. I have tried a different power supply and its the same

I doubt a factory reset with the buttons will do much for you, but definitely worth checking off that box.

Try to reset the light and reconnect it to mobius.

So buttons don't show any color at all after the initial flash?
Yeah, this is electrical and has to do with the power circuit.

The buttons don't do anything when its in the failed state

I see, its strange that its fine after the capacitors have drained. Its almost as if its failing to boot and wont reset until all the residual voltage has drained.
