Solved: Redtronic LED Lightbar Stuck In Single Flash Mode?

Did you know that Redtronic LED lightbars have a lesser known feature – a CAP 168 approved mode for airport use?

Problem: Lightbar apparently stuck in single flash mode and user cannot change flash pattern.

To activate or deactivate this special mode:

To get this mode hold the brown sync wire to a positive power (+VDC) for 10 seconds.

This then makes the lightbar flash slowly like a static flash beacon. All LED modules will flash at the same time.

So why is this a problem?

Some customers accidentally activate this mode when trying to configure a flash pattern, and then cannot change the flash pattern.

Not only does this cause delays to fleet engineers and repairers, affecting vehicle on-the-road times. This has also led to a number of apparently faulty lightbars being rejected by the Returns Department.
