Vision Controller Help!

[tactiblox]

Hello, I have recently bought a vision controller (ex lvmpd) from eBay and whenever I turn it on it starts beeping at me and the only way I can get it to stop is for about 5 seconds and that is holding the reset button. Please help!

There should be a brain box (black metal about the size of a switch box with 10ga red wire and 6 or 8 pin lan/phone cable outlet) that the cable goes into. The one I had would do the same thing, it was a communication error between the bar and the box. On the rare occasion I could get it to work it would run no problem.

The thing is though I don't have it hooked up to a lightbar. I also looked at the brain and controller and they have different model numbers on them. I wish they could make it like the SS2000 where you could use whatever brain and whatever control head and didn't have to have a lightbar hooked up to it.

No it needs to be connected to the lightbar to function

That explains why they are so cheap on eBay. Thanks.

Honestly, anything equipment related from LVMPD is used hard and put away wet. I wouldn't buy anything from them for that reason. It gets over 115 degrees in Vegas. Imagine how hot it gets inside a vehicle and the trunk for that matter too.

Yeah, you have a point. I never thought of that.

Also, if one of the chips are stamped LVMPD, then it most likely not work with any other revision. All 3 chips must match. IE a POV 3.2 and a POV 3.1 will work, but if the chip is a CHP or NYPD they all must be the same or it will not operate. Not to mention the CHP or NYPD are not user programmable.
