Pumps shutting down briefly

[treetopflyn]

For the past few days (Only had the controller a little over a week) when the room is quite and I am working every once in awhile (4-5 times now) I will hear a click and pumps shutdown for a VERY brief second and then return to normal. The glitch doesn't show up on the relay log. I don't have lights hooked up to is so I don't know if its the whole relay or only certain outlets. Any ideas what could be causing it.

Can I see the code?

Do you have any idea of which ports?
What do you have on port 7?

[treetopflyn]

Port 7 is a skimmer. Not sure which ones but I know for sure the return pump on 2 is

[rimai]

Does it turn on/off properly when you go through feeding or water change mode?

[treetopflyn]

Yes everything works as programmed, it just randomly glitches.

[Piper]

Make sure your connections are all tight to the relay box(es). I had strange things happen when I first set mine up and it ended up being a lose connection to a relay box. I pulled all the cables apart and plugged them back together and everything has been working great since.

Thanks Piper I will give that a shot.

[treetopflyn]

Still doing it and seems to be getting worse.

[rimai]

I wonder if this is the same as this:

[treetopflyn]

still having the issue

[rimai]

did you remove the jumpers?

[treetopflyn]

No. That entails taking the controller apart correct?

[rimai]

Yes, but it is just 4 screws in the head unit.
You unscrew and open the enclosure and it will be right there.
