RGT DB01 Light Controller Box Instruction Manual

1. Product Overview

The RGT DB01 Light Controller Box is a crucial spare part designed to enhance the realism and functionality of your RGT EX86020 1/10 scale RTR crawler, known as the "Intruder". This unit provides multi-mode linkage LED light control, allowing for dynamic and realistic lighting effects on your RC vehicle. It integrates seamlessly with the existing electronic system of the Intruder crawler, offering an authentic RC experience.

The RGT EX86020 Intruder crawler, for which this light controller is a component, features a robust chassis structure, a four-wheel drive system, and a motor-mounted-in-front design for a lower center of gravity. Its realistic PC soft bodyshell mimics the appearance of a Toyota LC71, complete with interior decoration, a spare tire, and various plastic decorative accessories including lights, rear-view mirrors, and door handles. The DB01 light controller contributes to the authentic visual experience of this model.

2. Setup and Installation

The DB01 Light Controller Box is designed for integration into the RGT EX86020 Intruder crawler's electronic system. Ensure your crawler is powered off and the battery is disconnected before beginning installation.

2.1 Electronic Equipment Overview

The Intruder RTR version comes equipped with several electronic components, including the DB01 Light Controller. Understanding these components is key to proper installation.

2.2 Installation Steps (General Guidance)

While specific wiring diagrams for the DB01 are not provided, its function as a light controller implies standard connections:

1. Power Connection: Connect the DB01 to a suitable power source, typically from the ESC/Receiver unit or directly from the main battery via a BEC (Battery Eliminator Circuit) if required and supported. Refer to your EX86020's main manual for power distribution points.
2. LED Connections: Connect the LED light wires from your crawler's lighting system (e.g., headlights, taillights, auxiliary lights) to the corresponding output ports on the DB01. Ensure correct polarity.
3. Signal Connection: Connect the signal wire from the DB01 to an available channel on your R6D-ESC-BS receiver (or equivalent receiver). This channel will be used to control the light modes via your transmitter. The Intruder uses a Flysky 6-Channel 2.4GHz Transmitter.
4. Secure Mounting: Mount the DB01 securely within the chassis of your crawler, away from moving parts and excessive heat. Use double-sided tape or zip ties as appropriate.
5. Cable Management: Route all wires neatly and securely to prevent them from snagging or interfering with other components.

Important: Always consult the full RGT EX86020 Intruder manual for detailed wiring diagrams and safety instructions before installing any electronic components.

3. Operating the Light Controller

The DB01 Light Controller Box provides "multi-mode linkage LED light control". This means the lighting effects are synchronized with certain actions of the RC crawler or can be selected manually via the transmitter.

3.1 Basic Operation

1. Power On: After successful installation, power on your RGT EX86020 Intruder crawler and its transmitter.
2. Light Modes: The "multi-mode linkage" suggests that lights may respond to steering, acceleration, braking, or be switchable through different patterns. Refer to your Flysky 6-Channel 2.4GHz Transmitter manual for specific channel assignments and how to activate different light modes. Typically, an auxiliary channel on the transmitter is used to cycle through light patterns or turn lights on/off.
3. Testing: Verify that all connected LED lights function correctly and respond to transmitter inputs as expected.

4. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable performance of your DB01 Light Controller Box.

• Keep Dry: Although the associated ESC is waterproof, the DB01 itself should be protected from moisture and water exposure. Ensure it is mounted in a dry location within the chassis.
• Cleanliness: Periodically inspect the controller for dust, dirt, or debris. Use a soft, dry brush or compressed air to gently clean the unit.
• Cable Inspection: Regularly check all connected wires and connectors for signs of wear, fraying, or loose connections. Secure or replace any damaged components.
• Avoid Impact: Protect the controller from physical impacts, which can damage internal components.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your DB01 Light Controller Box, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Lights Not Working:
  • Check all power and signal connections to ensure they are secure and correctly oriented.
  • Verify that the LED lights themselves are not damaged.
  • Ensure the main battery of the crawler is fully charged.
  • Confirm the transmitter is powered on and the correct channel for light control is being used.
• Incorrect Light Behavior:
  • Review the transmitter settings for the light control channel.
  • Ensure the DB01 is correctly connected to the receiver's signal port.
• Intermittent Operation:
  • Inspect for loose wires or connectors.
  • Check for any signs of moisture or debris inside the controller.

If problems persist, contact RGT customer support or your retailer for further assistance.
