Blue safety light

Looking for some info on installing a blue safety light on a Crown RR5200-45. I need it to turn on in reverse mode. If i hook it up to the backup alarm it codes a alarm 2 back up alarm ALM2 and puts unit in limp mode. also tried with key switch light dose not work. Is there a crown blue light direction kit ?

Thanks, this help me quite a bit.

My company wanted the forward light to only turn on when moving forward and the backward light to only turn on when going backwards. I tapped into the 5 volt signals for forward and reverse and to the +5 volts at the same connector. I used these to signals to activate 2 solid state relays. Worked out great.

I went back and forth on the blue light kits with one of my current customers. they wanted them installed front and back, (rm6095s and sp4000), but they wanted them to shut off when the operator stepped off the truck. I ended up running a 36v relay, off of the line contactor to both units. but you have to run the switching wire as the negative since the line contactor is 36v constant. so here is what I did.

1. split green striped/white wire off of line contactor. send that to coil negative of relay.
2. draw relay coil b+ and light b+ from strobe light suppressor
3. draw lighting b- from one of the access modules master b-.

use b-as the switching circuit. using b+ will cause truck to go into a fault or cause the blue light to turn on when the truck is powered down. ask me how I know. lol

Just wire it into the strobe light so it's on all the time, or you could try running a 36v relay from the reverse alarm and switching the strobe power to the blue light with that. There is no blue light kit from Crown for this unit.
