Bump

Still having this problem. Anyone got any ideas?

I tried rearranging the wires to no avail. I'm gonna try getting my hands on another cable and see if that'll help.

Mine does the same thing. It will cut for a second. I've tried switching them and nothing. Keith did you jus swap out the black USB cable and it worked for you?

Thank you [PERSON RAISING BOTH HANDS IN CELEBRATION]

No it's just the expansion relay and it only happens when the wifi module is plugged into the head unit. I set up a camera to see if it's the ports that turn off but it switches off and on again the head unit just shows all the ports are on. Is it possible I have a bad relay?

So what should I do? I'm pretty sure it's not overloaded and it's gonna kill anything plugged into that relay from the constant on/off?

No sorry. If the wifi is connected it does it But as soon as I unplug the module it stops. Could it be related to the fact that my wifi doesn't work? I have a changing IP address so I can't keep it connected for long. Btw How many watts can a single relay take before problems start?

Hey I figured out that it only does it when the wifi module is not plugged in. And no it's jus the port on the expansion relay. Is it possible there is a connection?

I've disconnected and reconnected everything and it still is cutting out. My wavemaker is set for every 30 mins and it's cuts out every 5-10 min

Hi Roberto. My wifi is currently disconnected as its not working either. I figure I should fight one battle at a time. It still cuts out with or without the wifi.

Everything for my tank is plugged into my RA, so I have 2 relays plugged into 1 wall outlet. I doubt it's overloaded because it was previously all plugged into that outlet using various powerbars. It's jus the reef angel that's flickering so I don't know what the problem is.

Thanks

Hey guys. I'm new to the hobby and jus set up my controller. But every 15-20 min the power cuts for a second and everything shuts off. Is this normal? I have 2 expansion relays so could it possibly be not enough power so it restarts? It's kinda annoying hearing everything knock all day. If any can h...
