LED Lights – Wiring-Related Checks & Solutions (Pro+ Pergola Only)

Step-by-step troubleshooting guide for Hansø Pro+ Pergola LED lighting issues — focused on wiring, polarity, and controller diagnostics.

⚙️ Overview

If your remote and controller appear functional but the LED lights remain stuck on, off, or unresponsive, the issue may be due to a wiring or controller fault.
Follow these diagnostic steps to identify and resolve the problem.


✅ 1. Check the Wiring Connections at the LED Driver / Transformer

⚠️ Always disconnect power before inspecting any wiring.

  1. Open the control box or transformer housing.

  2. Inspect the following:

    • Output wires (usually 12V or 24V low-voltage) leading to the LEDs are securely connected.

    • Signal wire from the remote receiver or control module is firmly attached and not corroded.

    • No pinched, shorted, or damaged wires are present.

Loose or damaged wires can cause the lights to stay on constantly, as the signal to power off is never received.


✅ 2. Inspect for a Stuck Relay in the Controller Module

The Pro+ LED system uses a relay module to control on/off switching.
If this relay is fused closed, the LEDs will stay powered even when the remote sends an “off” command.

🔧 Solution:

  • Swap the controller or relay module temporarily with another working one (if available).

  • If the lights shut off properly after swapping, the original controller is faulty and should be replaced.


✅ 3. Confirm the Polarity

Check that all connections maintain correct polarity:

  • Positive (+) and negative (–) wires must align from the controller to the LED strips or fixtures.

🔍 Note: Reversed polarity might still power the LEDs but can disrupt remote switching or dimming behavior.


✅ 4. Check for Crossed Circuits or Constant Live Power

In some cases, the LED line may be wired directly to constant power, bypassing the controller.

To test:

  • Use a multimeter to check voltage at the LED output terminals.

  • If voltage is present even when the remote is off, the circuit is wired incorrectly.

  • Rewire the LEDs so that power flows through the controller module instead of directly from the transformer.


⚠️ Final Notes

  • Always ensure connections are watertight and protected inside the junction box.

  • Use only Hansø-approved LED driver and controller units for compatibility with the Pro+ remote system.

  • For replacement parts or advanced diagnostics, contact Hansø Support.
