hey guys/girls

i got a Beltronics Vector LR that i received of a mate for free as he said it wasn’t working last time he checked. i found a power connection for it and turned it on, and as my mate said, it comes with a error.. it starts of normal and comes up with the normal start up display but after about 5-10 seconds of being on it comes up with . " ?LO1 CAL" i asked some of my friends and one said it may be a calibration error.

Does anyone know what this error is or what " ?LO1 CAL" stands for. also does anyone know whether this problem is fixable and if so an approx. price.

Thanks any help appreciated niran

I found that powering it on from cold it worked fine, if it was in the sun for too long it would start giving me that error. Lucky for me it was still within it's 3 year warranty and I took it to a supplier and repairer and they actually replaced it (and with a newer model), place was called Neltronics in Subi.

OK.. here's the story...

"LO CAL" (or "MARKERS" or "PLL LCK") is a fault code describing some kind of error has occured during a calibration test. BELTRONICS are keeping their software to themselves to avoid Chinese manufacturers from reverse engineering their products and whacking on the software... smart hey! :)

To repair this issue we would hopefully have a replacement board here in stock... we simply open up your faulty unit... put in the refurbished board... set up the menu and bands and away you go. The faulty board is then shipped to BELTRONICS to be refurbished and reflashed with new software.

The software repair is $95.

In WA cops use:

Multanova (not multinova!!!) which is a Ka band radar signal... low output so hard to detect

Patrol cars which use a K band radar signal... strong power so easy to detect... BUT... remember not every car is equiped and if they are, they might not be turned on

Sgt Plod himself uses a hand held laser signal... very strong, very fast, very accurate, VERY NARROW so damn hard to detect unless its fired right at your detector at which point they probably have you anyway.

That concludes todays lesson kiddies... now you can all go home, except Ossie... come here for a touching!

$95 to repair? What about warranty ;)
i got a Beltronics Vector LR that i received of a mate for free as he said it wasn’t working last time he checked.

Need I say more!!!

Plus the fact that a Vector LR came out around 9-10 years ago with a 1 year warranty.

Pulp, what unit do you have?

      Pillar gauges

      By MBS206 · Posted

      See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars

      bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 🙂  I know what it looks like

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
