Re: USB Port.

Whats your take on the power supply wiring. I tend to want to switch it to the way the box without the USB is .Due to that box has never failed and the other one has twice. Any replacement power supply?I don't see them in the store.If so PM me. Thanks again.

Re: USB Port.

Also I noticed the white wire to the power supply goes to a different terminal in the box? I added the tape due to frayed wires.I added some extra soldier also.Shoul...

I've gone through 4 maybe over 10yrs in 3 different relay boxes.I dont run anything that draws more then 10amps. All seem to fail on the 12vdc side.Would running 2 separate supplies be any bette...

I am down to my last relay box due to gravity and a overactive skimmer :( I dried out the other relay box but its dead. Its power supply is sold...

Re: Dimming module

After .50 there seems to be no difference? I'm at .33 now .Moonlight stops working at .25 . Is it because I'm using a dimming module not a lunar module to control it?

I have seen to have misplaced my DC adapters foe my expansion modules. what is the required amperage output?
If I remember correctly do all expansion modules need to be plugged in that have the DC port?

Re: Return pump interfering with float switch locking up RA

Yes I am very happy. Hasn't acted up in 24hrs. Thanks for your help.I had to order another Ferrit bead because I borrowed one found my wifi subwoofer. i ordered 5 and plan to put one on every cord that enters the water. At $2 apiece cheap insurance.

I add a Ferrit bead to my pump cord and ballast cord and problem Has stopped. I'll update in a day.
Still had issue. Moved bead to ATO lead. It stopped instantly. We'll see.

Re: Return pump interfering with float switch locking up RA

And buying more modules right now is not going to happen. Just had to replace 2 failed modules and added one new one one that seems to have made my ATO not function. I guess tomorrow I will start unplugging stuff to test the bus theory.I sure hope it doesn't prove out.

Re: Return pump interfering with float switch locking up RA

I do believe it's stray something. But like I stated I can duplicate the issue out of the water. Just putting it by my cheap T5 ballast. So my thought is since it's a magnetic switch ,like the OP suggested is it electro magnetic? I'm sure my cheap ballasts are pumping that out. Moving switch 24 inch...

Re: Return pump interfering with float switch locking up RA

Ok. I know this is going to sound funny but if I put the float switch near my cheap T5 fixture it does the same rapid relay toggle. ? So is it possible to shield the ATO cable ,circuit? Any ideas. Thanks.

Prior to changing code the float switch had worked for years. Now seems ok until it touches system water. Display or sump.
