RA+ and temp probe

Post by bkc6868 »

My probe will sometimes not measure the temp. I have the WiFi attachment and android app attached and we'll get readings of zero. Last night my temp on my tank got down to 72.4 when the heater is supposed to kick on at 78. This had happened one other time that I know of for sure but only reached 75 that time. I've tried reloading code and unplugging temp probe and rebooting but it still happens.

Could be a bad probe. I had one go bad and it would cause the controller to think it was overheating so it would turn off my heater port. This didn't happen consistently, either. I would clear the fault and it would be fine for a few days until it faulted again. Replaced the temp probe and it has worked every since.

I'm constantly getting alerts for 0 degrees as well. I replaced the probe. I still get 0 degree alerts and I just got one for 136. Either the RA probes aren't good or there's another issue. I've restarted the system, and nothing has changed.
