Problem with RTK6
 

Hello!

I seem to have problem when connecting my RTK6 control-unit for the first time.

I have just connected plus 12V and ground to the unit like this:

When I push the light-button to turn on the unit a "zero" just flashes under the light-button and the unit beeps four times fast and after that the whole panel lights up + flashes and beeps and turns it self off.

Could I have connected something wrong or what?
(I have just connected +12V and gound to the unit, nothing else yet).

You have to conect the control unit with the lightbar.
When the controll unit can´t find a lightbar, it reports a misstake.

Thanks for your fast answer!

Now I have connected the Bus-cable from the control-unit to the central control-unit in the lightbar like this:

And my connections to the central control unit looks like this:

But again when I push the light-button to turn on the unit a "zero" comes up under the light-button and the unit beeps about four times and then turns itself off...

Could I have connected the 2 light-beacons wrong (see upper image)??
Or what can the problem be?

Have you got the original cables?
Which lights do you have?
The flashers or the rotating lights?

If you´ve got the rotating lights, you need a third, cable which checks the ligt.
If this cable is missing, the control unit gives an allert.

Could you take some pictures from the whole construction?

No, I don´t have the original cables because this rtk6 came with no lights or cables..

The lights I am using are rotating lights made by Britax.

Maybe it is like you say that I need a third cable for the lights.
Where do I connect it?

Yes, thats the misstake.
You need the original Hella lights.

I´ll try to find out, which cables you have to connect with which contact.

Please wait a moment;)

----------

In the manual I couldn´t find anything about it...

Perhaps somebody else, who knows more about the RTK 6, could help here!

OK, thanks Yannic![99]

If anyone knows what the problem is, help would be apprichited.

Maybe you need a Third cable on the Controll Unit Like this.

Thats my own Controll Unit

Hi Freestyle!


I connected like you have yours control-unit connected with the third cable and it fixed the problem with the unit turning itself off.
So far so good! Thanks!

But "the zero" still flashes under the light-button, could it be indicating
that there is something wrong with lights?
When I push the buttons nothing seems to happend.

I Think you need a Third Cabel on the Light's too
It's like a Control Cabel for the Unit. (Rotation Control)

I think you could be right there.. but where/how shall I connect the third cable with the lights? :kratz:

You need original RTK6 rotators because there are magnetic rotation sensors.

And there is no way to "connect away" these magnetic rotation sensors?

Could some of these instructions be the solution for me? :blaulicht:
I have only connected 2 cables, B3 to plus rotating light and A3 to minus on light. I think that more must be connected to work... correct me if I am wrong!

This switch is for 3. or 4. Beacon.
Also for other Rotation Lights like your's.

Yes, now it works! :blaulicht:
Thanks to user Freestyle and others for helping me out with this rotating-light issue!

I put a towel in the sirenspeaker pipe to lower the sirensound a bit and it works. But there are now 4 big pieces flashing in the control-unit display to the left.. Has it something to do with siren beeing muffled?? or what?

Lights and siren seems to work fine even with the display flashing.
