fiskekongen Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Hi, Is there anyone that knows how to change channel on an RX alarm? I know how to set all my alarms to connect to the sounder box. But since my alarm on channel 2 broke I got a net one. And this is on Channel 3. Is there any possibility to change this myself? Or is the only way to ship it to Fox to get them to do it? I live in Norway, so the cost would be high.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InteraX Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) The manual is available online at https://www.foxint.com/home/support/product-manuals/, direct link http://foxcdn.blob.core.windows.net/fox-media/20410/rx_reciever.pdf There are some dip switches to change the channel. They're in the battery compartment. Edited April 27, 2017 by InteraX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiskekongen Posted April 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 That is only to change channel not to get inteference from other people with same alarms. Not to change whitc position the alarms show on the reciever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InteraX Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 The colour of the alarm sets the colour shown on the reciever. That can't be changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InteraX Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Quote from the manual: The receiver will automatically distinguish the difference between a Red, Yellow, Green or Blue head. If you choose to use more than one bite alarm with the same colour LED, only that colour LED will illuminate on the receiver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiskekongen Posted April 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 That's partley correct. I have 4 blue led alarms. And a reciever with also 4 blue led's. Si there is no way to do this other to send in to Fox? I was hoping that it was a way to to this, like jailbrake å phone orsomething 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not standard that I'm aware of. Inside the head should be a microcontroller that runs the alarm and sends the correct signal to the receiver. It is possible that Fox left some form of external switch on the PCB to set the LED channel, but I suspect it's a soft setting in the microcontroller. Do you still have the faulty alarm? If so, can you take it apart and take some photos of the PCB inside that should help us tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salokcinnodrog Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Fox do make a standard blue head set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InteraX Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Unfortunately that doesn't show enough info. I have an old Micron MX which I have taken apart to show you what I need to see. In the below photos, there is a green board with the electronics. I would need to see a pic of that for your alarm. It looks like in manufacturing, they've covered the board in hot melt glue for waterproofing, which may complicate things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
