How do I install the wires for an iNX/iDX to a Tapco RRFB?
PWR & GND: The iNX/iDX needs 10-24 VDC for power between power and ground.
Buttons (+/-): The iNX/iDX needs 7-32 VDC across button terminals. Upon pressing the button, the voltage must drop to ~0VDC in order to signal the RRFB. This connection creates a contact closure which triggers the controller to start flashing the lights.
Lights (+/-): The iNX/iDX needs a signal to the lights input from the controller (7-32 volts). The voice message will not play without the button detecting voltage across the lights inputs.
Once wires are installed properly, check voltage across the 2 LIGHTS wires while pushing the button.
- If you get a constant voltage without fluctuating:
- iNX: Settings > LED Flash Behavior = Play Predefined Pattern - Rapid Flash
- If you get fluctuating voltage:
- iNX: Settings > LED Flash Behavior = Track Ltsln - Track Lights Input
