Do you have a question about the L-3 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
I have two vacuums L3 both have gray boards with black stickers. One has a VK on it for my wireless device. The other has v blue. How can I sync them together? I’m using the Viking connect black controller with wirelessly with a green light.
To sync two Viking L-3 operators using the Viking Konnect black controller (PART# VA-KONNECT-MS):
1. Plug the provided modules into the “V.K” plug & play connection on each operator’s control board.
2. It does not matter which module is on the master or slave board; the system will function regardless.
3. Ensure only the Master Control Board has the “Timer” and/or “Overlap” features enabled—do not enable these on both boards.
4. Verify that the green LEDs on both modules are illuminated solid, indicating active communication.
This completes the wireless Master/Slave setup using the Viking Konnect system.
