Thread: CF V5 switch installation issue

  1. #1

    Default CF V5 switch installation issue

    So, for you V5 peeps out there...

    I am having issues on the switch install. Now, I know how it works..you install one lead of the switch on the appropriate switch pads, and the other on the ground pad...it's when I pull the kill pin that I get two beeps and it goes straight to the config. menu...and neither switch will respond.

    I only have the battery and speaker hooked up as of now...no LED's yet.

    I am using both the little plunger momentary switches....any ideas? Has this happened to anyone else?

    Have you tried wiring your switches on different pins?
    I can never work out which way to wire those tactiles...



    So instead of wiring the switch in an A - B configuration, perhaps try an A - C and see if that works.

    Oh... and 'grats on the V5, Caine

    Note/update:

    I worked with Caine to help him get this resolved. It looks like it was that he wired the wrong switch leads.

    So... this may already be ~RESOLVED~ (just lettin' y'all know)

    I always .use a meter to ohm out which legs of the switch to use before I wire it up. It keeps me from having to rewire a switch and also lets me know if I have a bad switch.

    Yeah, I metered all the legs, and got a beep on all 4 (I don't use a meter much so I don't know how to use it all that well)...how many ohms should the pos. have as opposed to the neg?

    Yeah, because he's not going to see about getting it fixed, if he did.
