I bought a Public Safety Equipment AS-8 ArrowStik and controller, and thought I could figure out how to wire it up. I was wrong.
The plug on the back of the controller has 7 inputs, plus a single ground wire; it's looking for wires colored Brown, Orange, Violet, Yellow, Blue, and 2 that just say "18 gauge max."
However, the arrowstik has 8 wires, plus a heavy black ground wire. It has wires colored White, Orange, Yellow, Yellow/Black, Red, Red/Black, Blue, Blue/Black, and a heavier Black wire.
I took the arrowstik apart, traced the wires, and got even more confused. Looking from Left to Right, the Blue wire goes to pod 1, Yellow to pod 2 & 3, White to pod 4 & 5, Orange to pod 6 & 7, Yellow/Black to pod 8, Red & Red/Black going to what appears to be a ground (both wires affixed to the metal rail that all the pods attach to), and I couldn't see where the Yellow or Blue/Black wires attach to anything. The heavy Black ground wire makes it in to the lights, but is cut flush before it connects to anything.
When I connect a 12 volt source to the Red & Red/Black wires, and then to either the Blue or Yellow/Black wires, the corresponding end lights light up. But when I do the same for the Yellow, White, or Orange wires, nothing happens.
I'm kind-of stuck, and I'm not sure what to do next. Does anyone know? I'll include some pictures of what I have.
Thanks!
