Problem with RTK6

[cromwell]

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?

[cromwell]

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!
