New ALP CPU constantly beeping and red flashing led

Cheers Tom - thought I'd missed something there !

Could we throw in a firmware update to maybe auto detect that fail and turn off the port or auto sense and correct its self (like LAN ports do these days)?

So just to clarify, as I wanted to put three heads on the rear of my car, I was only supplied with two extensions, so the installer got another extension from his car, but we didn't need it.

As mine is a small hatchback, they only needed one of the 2.5m extensions that was supplied with the ALP.

Hence I have two extensions spare ;

1 bag labelled 'Extension Cable for AL Sensor length 2.5m'
1 bag labelled 'Extension Cable for AL G9 RX Sensor length 2.5m'

I take it from the findings then, that I shouldn't use the AL G9 RX extension with the ALP, or it might actually be OK if the pin assignments aren't crossed over from one end to the other ? (I'll check the pin outs tomorrow with a multi meter)

If the extension cable is for ALG9, make sure its only connected to a G9 head.
If its for ALP, then only use it with an ALP head.

Extension cables are usually just straight cords so there should not be an issue. You can check with an ohm meter to be sure.

I never changed any leads on mine I installed my G9 heads with the original wiring ...I never even removed the G9 cable from the heads as I had heatshrink sealing them... I knew if I did remove the heatshrink it would of been put on the one of the do lists and known me I would of forgotton to re heat shrink

thats a pretty expensive mistake though they should start to mention this in manual

the shop here in morley when paul was running the show did a similer thing to his jammers ....while he was bench testing some GF100s he plugged in some heads into a different jammer cpu ....they worked on the bench so we went out installed them on a car and shot with the ultrlyte the jammer alerted but would not jam turned out to be a fried part in the CPU

Do you check the inside fuse of the G9 box;

manufacturers, may be could put a lable on there leads, like use only on /or with,

also asking a question BRD, mentioned earlier,ext leads are straight through , but the pin out could be different, so best beware using diff ext leads as well ?. also be good if a short small converter ext, to allow for easy switching between various makes , save a full car re/wire

Straight through would be pin 1 goes to pin 1, Pin 2 goes to pin 2, Etc. All you are doing is extending the cable length so it should not make any difference. You can verify this with a meter, I dont have any old G9 stuff so I cant test it for you.

ok see what you mean, but small short converter ext if there were such a thing would save all the term changing and ohm's testing, and say change over becomes plug and play, as in my case change from li's to ALP, i think i briefly covered this with you before
