How to correctly wire lights?

Image
Many customers have asked us such questions: Why my lights don’t work, did I wire it correctly? Here I want to share with you the differences between relay output and DC/AC power output, and then you can check whether you have wired you lights correctly. Look at this picture, Model: 0020504 (S1U-DC12-ANT2 & CB-2L) , the receiver is relay output, not DC/AC power output, the connection is definitely wrong; the lights didn’t connect any power supply, so it can’t work. Usually, when the receiver is relay output, the wiring operation should be as follow: Connect DC power to terminal “+” and “-“. Initial state of relay output terminals: Terminals B and C are Normally Open; Terminals A and B are Normally Closed. Terminal B and C should also connect a DC/AC power supply to make the lights work. Here is the circuit diagram.   This is the correct connection. Model: 0020424 (S1X-DC06/09/12/24 & C-2) is DC power output, the wiring is easier co...

Remote control lights for the track

Use wireless remote control kits to wireless remote control lights for the track in a long distance. Here is the detail information: One of our customer need to set up "warning" lights for the track and he ideally this would be done with wireless switching. He said that “Your RF DC transmitters and receivers of the long distance type are what we're looking for to remote control lights. I need to send you a diagram to explain what we need as wording this is difficult.” The signal needs to travel at least 500 meters so the 2000m setup would be best. The receivers will trigger emergency flashing beacons.     The layout is for motorcycle oval track competition and the transmitters and receivers need to be operated by officials to ensure the safety of all competitors. This is done by operating warning revolving beacons. For this reason the customer need our best operating combinations over a distance of probably 800 to 1000 meters with direct line of sight availabl...
