I guess I should of clarified better. I do know they flash. But on 6 button controller setups? I'm guessing it's a certain programming, 1 of the 6?

Yes they do. You just have to use the wires to program it. I believe flashing alleys and takedowns is black and red wires.

Hey thanks for the info. What do you mean using the wire to program it? Internally? I have a + - and phone jack cable exiting bar.

He is referring to the Serial Interface Box, which is a type of break-out box that allows connections to regular mechanical ("non-serial"?) switches. You have the 6-Button Controller, it replaces the SIB and provides more of a plug-n-play experience. However, you are limited to the pre-programmed libraries in the 6-Button Controller.


NOTE: The original 6-Button Controller offered a keypad library of 6 Configurations. The newer models offer a kepyad library of 18 Configurations. See: http://www.fedsig.com/docs/M9003_3and6_Button_Controller.pdf


I only see one (#6) that should work; #13 might work.


To program Library #6:


1) make sure the Slide Switch is in OFF


2) hold top 3 buttons until beep/flash


3) push the bottom right-hand button (#6) to lock in Library #6.


Its not as confusing as it sounds, see http://www.fedsig.com/docs/2562360.pdf, pg 4.


The Slide Switch must be set before programming


POS OFF to choose #1-#6


POS 1 to choose #7-#12


POS 2 to choose #13-#18


So, Library #13 would be Slide Switch in POS2, then choose the top row, left button.


Flash patterns can also be chosen in a similar manner by using the bottom 3 buttons, but for that I would have to re-read the manual.


PM me of you need more help.

Thanks dcb. That explains it! I think I have the first generation box cuz the manual shows 6 pre defined modes only. Darn it. I tried 5 and 6 but no takedowns flash on mode 3
