Why is my MX system flashing continuously?

This article discusses wiring MX flasher modules and confirming the operating mode selected.

Product applicability

The following products are discussed in this article:

• MX Series: R920-MX, R829-MX, R247-MX and CHEVRON-MX

There are two reasons why your beacon will flash continuously when powered up:

1. Operating mode is set to Always On (default for all flasher modules aside from RRFBs)
2. Flasher module is incorrectly wired at the flasher module and/or power module

Operating Mode

• Change using the MX Field App based on your application:
  • Always On – beacon(s) will flash 24 hours a day.
  • Dusk-to-Dawn – beacon(s) flash continuously during nighttime only.
  • Trigger/Standby – beacon(s) are activated by a push button or external trigger, such as
    pedestrian sensor.
  • Schedule – beacon(s) flash based on a user generated schedule.

Wiring

• Four conductor cable terminates in power module and at the flasher module
• TO OTHER MODULE(S):
  
  • YE = yellow
  • WH = white
  • RD = red
  • BL = black
