Troubleshooting guide

 

Problem 

To check

 

The Embertec Emberstrip® 8AV+ 

is not receiving power.

 

 

The Protected light is on.

 

The Embertec Emberstrip® 8AV+ 

is not powering down my 

equipment in standby mode.

 

 

Ensure the equipment is plugged into 

the Power Saving outlets, not into the 

Always On outlets.

 

 

The Embertec Emberstrip® 8AV+ has not 

detected the equipment is in standby. Please 

repeat this process by switching on the 

Audio Visual (AV) component again, waiting 

10 seconds, and switching off again making 

sure all appliances are in standby mode.

 

The RF4CE Smart Sensor 

is not operating.

 

 

Remove the Embertec Emberstrip® 8AV+ from 

the wall plug, then unplug the RF4CE Smart 

Sensor cable and then plug it back into the 

unit and plug the Embertec Emberstrip® 8AV+ 

back into the power point.

 

The RF4CE Smart Sensor 

flashes frequently during 

normal operation.

 

 

This may be an indication of unwanted infrared 

activity in the area. Please check the immediate 

area for infrared devices that maybe interfering 

with the Embertec Emberstrip® 8AV+, such

 

as compact fluorescent lights, computers, 

mobile phones, and other portable consumer 

electronic devices. If possible relocate these 

interfering devices.

 

 

Move the RF4CE Smart Sensor to another 

location that is within line of sight and normal 

operation range of your Audio Visual (AV) 

equipment remote controls.

 

The Protected LED on the main 

body of the Embertec Emberstrip® 

8AV+ is on, but my RF4CE Smart 

Sensor LED does not work (when 

plugged in and powered on).

 

 

Please check your RF4CE Smart Sensor 

connection to the Embertec Emberstrip® 8AV+ 

by ensuring the RF4CE Smart Sensor cable is 

safely and securely connected to the side of 

the Embertec Emberstrip® 8AV+.

 

The Embertec Emberstrip® 8AV+ 

has stopped working.

 

 

Unplug all the appliances connected into the 

Embertec Emberstrip® 8AV+ adapter and then 

unplug from the wall outlets. Then reconnect 

everything again.

 

The TV keeps turning off 

after 1 hour.

 

 

The RF4CE Smart Sensor default setting for 

Active Powerdown® is 60 minutes.

 

 

Please see Changing settings for Active 

Powerdown® to change Active Powerdown® 

to 1 or 2 hours.
