Do you have a question about the VP-X Pro and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
Every thing works except for the landing lights!
The landing lights on the Vertical Power VP-X Pro may not be working due to incorrect configuration or wiring. The VP-X controls landing lights and can alternate power to create a wig-wag or pulsing effect. If the lights are not functioning, check the following:
1. Ensure the lights are properly wired to the VP-X.
2. Verify that the configuration settings in the VP-X allow the lights to operate as expected.
3. Confirm that the external power source is correctly connected.
4. If using LED landing lights with a built-in wig-wag function, disable that feature and use the VP-X wig-wag function instead.
5. Check for any system errors or power supply issues.
If the issue persists, further troubleshooting or contacting Vertical Power tech support may be necessary.
