That's great, thanks. I will give it a try!

Thanks for the suggestion.

Next dumb question. Is there any documentation on how to use this function?

Hi All I need some help with wavemaker code I currently have: if (hour()>=8 && hour()<22){ ReefAngel.WavemakerRandom( Port6,0,60 ); ReefAngel.Wavemaker( Port5,120 ); }else{ ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Port5); ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Port6); } For my night mode both port 5 and 6 are off. What I would lik...

Couldn't resist it. Went and bought a battery. Connected it and the lights worked. Good news. Reconnected RA and........................everything worked! I have no idea what was wrong before. My guess was the PWM lead not connected properly. Thanks to everyone for helping - a special mention to Col...

Thanks colin, appreciate your support! I will get a battery tomorrow and give it a try.

@inevo- will do.

@colin

I restored RA with base code and was adjusting PWM through the menu as you suggested. I will try and post the code later but I'm not sure it will help.

I have another identical unfinished light which I might complete and see if I get the same result

Here are the pics. Only the outer 14 LEDS are being used. The inner 7 are daylights and not finished. The last 3 are violets.

Well no joy. Reset the reef angel to base code, set Pwm to 100 and got nothing! Seems I now have no lights at all.

Changed to a new mean well 60 48p and nothing. When the mean well discharges when you unplug it, all LEDs flash so no broken LEDs.

I think I need a multimeter!

Darn

@fatman - Thanks I will try the pot, just to test the output is OK. Haven't got a volt meter. I may have to invest in one! @cosmith71 - Thanks Colin. I don't think I have this option on my head unit menu anymore as I have used the wizard which has given different menu options. I will revert back to ...

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I am not using an LED kit, just CREE XTE actinic and white with the Meanwell ELN 60 48P. Reef Angel is PWM not Analogue. I tried shifting the slope duration and set the end point for both 100% and some lower values with no joy. The strange thing is that the LEDs ...

The current is set at the factory 1.3amps. The only thing I can do with svr2 is turn it down which won't effect dimming. The LEDS will take 1.3 amps no problem

I will post the code later but it is standard wizard code.

Any other ideas?

I have tried a shorter duration of 5 mins with the same result. Also if I set the end point to 20%, 30%, 40%, 50% at the top of the slope, it also has no effect. The LEDs stay on at around 90%. They do dim at various stages when uploading code to the reef angel controller. The load is close to the m...

Hi All I have just finished building an LED light using 14 CREE Actinic on a Meanwell ELN 60 48P. Using the Reef Angel Wizard I have set up a slope dim from 0 to 100% over 2 mins. The LEDS do nothing until the end point and then they turn on. No dimming happening. I have checked all connections. Any...

Great, got it

Thanks Roberto, dbmet

Hi Everyone

Just got my Reef Angel and I was wanted to download the Reef Angel Client Suite but the downloads are gone when you click the link? Anyone no why?

Thanks for looking Roberto I might give one a go and see if it works.

Never used, but what is the main difference between them? Thanks for the quick reply Roberto. I have no idea what the difference is other than the current/voltage rating is slightly different. PWM signal seems to be the same as the LPF: 100Hz to 3KHz. Spec is here www(.)mouser(.)com/ds/2/260/HLN-80...

Hi All

I am just about to order an RA but was wondering if anyone has used the HLN-80H series of Meanwell drivers? I am going to be using some CREE XML2 LEDs and the HLN drivers a re bit cheaper than the LPF drivers.
