Thank you. I thought it would be that easy but wanted to make sure before I did anything.

Relay boxes and sump room?

So I just bought a house and now have the room for a sump room in the basement. Since I have hardwood floors this will make it easier for me since I won't have to carry buckets of water around and risk damaging the wood floors with saltwater. My questions is, is it possible to have one relay box on ...

Re: Stray Voltage - Nothing Plugged In except pH probe.

Gugs Jr, My tank is also plugged in to the same circuit as one of the kitchen outlets. However it isn't the same as the appliances. I just ignored it for now... Everything I read said it isn't to much of an issue unless you ground the tank, then the voltage has somewhere to go. Wasn't exactly the a...

Re: Stray Voltage - Nothing Plugged In except pH probe.

That's so weird. When people have stray voltage problems, the pH probe gets wacky readings. What do you get if you measure your Neutral and Ground in the wall outlet? My pH readings are fine and Im still having this issue. Same as meadows even when everything is unplugged. Im in an apartment as wel...

Re: Stray Voltage - Nothing Plugged In except pH probe.

I'm following along since I'm having the same issues. I've lost a few fish to ich and it only happened after installing my RA and noticing the stray voltage.

I'm thinking the stray voltage is enough to cause the ich to appear. Since I've had most of the fish I've lost for over 2 years.

Re: pH probe shocking tank?

Mine was my LEDs with Meanwell ELN 60-48P drivers. None of the cords was touching the tank, the outlet was not going through the relay box, just the driver signal from my PWM port on the relay box. Unplugged it and it went away. I have since moved it to a dimming expansion model, but haven't had ti...

Re: pH probe shocking tank?

So this weekend I tried unplugging every item one at a time and there was still a small shock. I'm going to try again with a multi-meter to try and pin point what could be causing it.

Re: pH probe shocking tank?

The pH probe will complete a circuit for stray voltage coming from another device. You say you don't have it with feed mode? What pumps turn off with feed mode? Check those devices for voltage leaks. --Colin Ok, I just tested the LEDs and they weren't the cause of it. The ones that turn off are my ...

you mean from the dimmable port or from the relays. I wouldn't be able to test this until I get off of work.

It does stop the voltage leak when I disconnect the pH probe. Its fine after I reconnect them after about 30 - 60 minutes.

pH probe shocking tank?

So it seems after I use the feed more timer on the RA, my pH probe shocks my tank.

After I disconnect for about 30 minutes or so I can plug it back in with no voltage going into the tank.

Any way to fix this?

You have to add the signature as an image. Most forums will not allow you to put images in your signature because if everyone did that it would place to much of a load on the servers.

Use the dimming ports on the main relay box. Does the pump on 5 work if you plug it into another outlet? Does port 7 turn on and off like it's supposed to, even though 5 isn't coming on? Can you toggle port 5 from the Android app and have it turn on? There is also a ControllerTester sketch under th...
