On the brain, how do I set the auxiliaries? A: Auxiliary 1 through 5 are defaulted on with the CM6300. Although you must have an Option Programmer (OP500) to change the outputs to a specific time. Secure auxiliary (option 4-05) will prevent these outputs from triggering without doing query first.
I’m using the RPS Touch but my LED’s and Secure Valet LED does not flash. A: The CM6000 and CM6300 LED and Secure Valet LEDs will not work when using an RPS Touch. This is a hardware limitation. The RPS 2 will work with LEDs and Secure Valet.
