Skeene IQ-175 programming issues/questions

[jsaul53]

I have installed the Skeene IQ-175 to my aux lights and cannot get it to do the double flash before you switch the high beam 3 times in order to program. I have used this before on my FJR without issue. The lights do work and the 3-way toggle works for off, variable percentages for the others work as well. I just can't program to set the percentages per position on my 3-way toggle. I have e-mailed Skeene and they are traveling in Europe right now and have extended response times. Lights: PIAA lights with using the PIAA on/off switch, LEDRider LR4 and LR10s connected to a new PDM60. I have used this setup minus the PIASS and minus the ST without issue.

Any gurus here that may have had this issue before?

Thanks

I've seen a cheap HID interfere with a PWM controller, but don't think that you have this combo. Basically, there was so much electrical noise to start the HID that the noise interfered with how the PWM worked.

The pieces that are new in this setup are the Super Tenere and the PIAA lights. I may unplug the PIAA lights to see if that makes a difference. I moved the lights and IQ-175 Skeene dimmer off of my FJR.

I had issues trying to program my Skene on the Tenere, and as I recall, I attributed it to the fact that the headlights remain off until th engine has started, which exceeded the window of time for the programming mode.

I have mine purposely delayed to come on via the PDM60. This worked fine on my FJR. I had to start the FJR in order to program and as soon as the lights did the double flash you then flip to high and back 3 times.

I was able to exchange e-mails with Bill from Skeene. He suggested a few things and I was able to resolve it. The issue I was experiencing was created by the power to the skeene being supplied before the power to the aux lights. I ran the aux lights via a PDM60 and had a 7-second delay before power on. I connected the skeene to the same power source as the aux lights and it resolved the issues I had. Both Skeene and PDM60 (Rowe Electronics) have been very responsive to my support questions.
