WP25's stopped working ??

Post by cjrudy »

I came home from work and my two Jebao WP25's has stopped working. Checked my wireless module and it was flashing amber, I unplugged and re plugged it into the head unit and the WP25's started back up.

Any idea why this happened or how to prevent it from happening again, my tank went the whole day without the power heads running.

The WP25's run whatever the portal is set too, except for the overnight hours where I have it coded to run Custom.

I can't help, but I would like to see your code if that's ok.

Are you running them at <30%? If so, that could be your problem. For some reason they don't like to run below that power.

Since I believe it was an issues with the portal or wireless, I hard coded my pumps to run instead of relying on the portal.

For the record your pumps dont run what the portal is set to.

The portal sets your ra and the ra just tells the portal then how its set.

You can set the memory locations manually. You may have some memory not initialized properly..

That's exactly what I think the original problem was, after seeing my pumps were off I checked the portal and the settings for every mode showed zero. I was then unable to change them or get the page to reload. So somehow the portal settings changed and communicated that to the ra which basically turned my pumps down to zero.

I feel better with the code directly in the ra to set the pumps.
