Why is my MX system flashing continuously?

This article discusses wiring MX flasher modules and confirming the operation mode selected.

Product applicability

The following products are discussed in this article:

MX Series: R920-MX, R829-MX, R247-MX, CHEVRON-MX and WWD-MX

There are two reasons why your beacon will flash continuously when powered up:

Operation mode is set to Always On (default for all flasher modules aside from RRFBs).
Flasher module is incorrectly wired at the flasher module and/or power module.

Operation Mode	Always On – beacon(s) will flash 24 hours a day. Dusk-to-Dawn – beacon(s) flash continuously during nighttime only. Trigger/Standby– beacon(s) are activated by a push button or external trigger, such as a pedestrian sensor. Trigger with Notification –beacon(s) are activated by an external trigger or sensor. An SMS and/or email alert is sent each time the system is triggered. Requires an MX Cloud profile with notifications enabled and an active MX Cloud subscription for the system. Schedule – beacon(s) flash based on a user generated schedule.
Wiring	TO OTHER MODULE(S): YE = yellow WH = white RD = red BL = black
