Troubleshooting

Module not responding:

• Verify 2V-10V power supply
• Check signal voltage is 1.8V-7V
• Avoid reverse polarity connection

Motor not running:

• Ensure correct wiring to motor outputs
• Check input signals are active
• Avoid loose connections

Overheating:

• Reduce load or motor current below 1.5A continuous
• Allow thermal protection to reset after cooling
