Outlet #6 (used for a ph) in the relay box is suppose to turn off during both water change and feeding modes and has been working correctly but all of a sudden, today, it did not turn off for either. I'm not sure when it went astray but today was the first time I've noticed. I think it worked just a few days ago (at least in feeding mode).

I re generated the code w/ the wizard just now to make sure it was correct and it did not fix it. Is my relax faulty or is something wrong w/ the code? I am using internal memory but the code looks correct as it has the correct ports for both water change and feeding.

Code is:

Hmm..interesting thing happened. I tested it this morning and that port worked for both the w/c and the feeding modes. Has anyone heard of situations like this? I have done no manipulation to the controller.

I will try the controllertester code when I get a chance to make sure. Thank you.

roberto..this is in regard to the post about relay #6 not shutting off during feed/wc mode..i did the controllertest code..flipped through it but wasn't sure what to look for. the outlet was on when i flipped to #6. is that what you're testing? thanks.

howaboutme wrote:Yeah, I did that and everything seems to be okay for the test. #6 just won't turn off even though the code is correct. This is the 2nd time this happened. First time, the problem solved itself somehow w/o me doing anything.

No, I am not sure. But I don't think so. I do nothing to the controller before I hit either the feeding or wc mode. I even re-uploaded the code last night to the controller and #6 still didn't recognize the mode. I am thinking tonight I will try to move the ph that's on #6 to an open outlet to test again.

How would I override the relay port? Since I am new I cannot rule that out inadvertently.
