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
