Q: I have your signalMinder on my bike and I just purchased VL-10
vectraLIGHTs. After I plug them in, nothing happens.
A: All signalMinder, except the SM-5, SM-5 and SM-3R models, must
have the Running Light option hooked-up to power the VL-10 via the
RJ-11 ports. Similarly the Brake Override option must also be hooked-up
to activate the VL-10 brake feature.
VL-10 is designed as a remote unit, driven by the host signalMinder. It will
inherit all of the settings you select for the signalMinder, such as the
running light intensity and time-out.
VL-20 is a stand-alone unit and does not depend on the signalMinder
hook-ups.
Q: I have hooked-up VL-20 on my bike. The Running Lights work properly
with the ignition key On, but the turn signals do not sequence. They all
come on at once.
A: Most common error in hooking up the VL-20 is that the Power Input
(red wire) is connected to the low intensity wire of the turn signals. For
most single turn signal switch equipped bikes, this wire has power only
when the switch is in neutral. As soon as you activate right or left turn, the
high intensity wire gets the power and the low intensity wire looses the
power.
You should find another source of constant power with ignition key On.
Q: I have hooked-up my VL-20 and everything works as advertised. But I
do not like the brake LEDs at night. They are too bright and the glare is
distracting. Can I program them On/Off?
A: That feature is not programmable. You can reposition the array such
that it’s more forward and the LEDS are barely visible to you as you sit on
the bike thus shielding your eyes. If that’s not possible, then you can
disconnect the brake input (black wire).
