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?

      I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.

      I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      By uchoa · Posted

      Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
