Re: skimmer is off
can stray current make the controller restart and cause this problem
i am not sure

Re: skimmer is off
i add turn off on feeding modeCan you override the port?
Have you tried the ControllerTester code?
skimmer were off even when i was using old libraries
i watched the controller and i found it was restarting alone and set the delay time to 5 minutest then wotrk for about few second and some times few minutes the restart again
i unplugged several powerheads and the skimmer it self also i shut down all the wifi devices in the area also i unplugged me mp40 wireless
i am suspicious about the refelctor of my refugee lamp as it is touching the glass of the sump may be the evaporation would make stray current
not sure .... what do u think roberto

Re: skimmer is off
i figured the problem
stray current from my reflector
would u confirm ???

Re: skimmer is off
Sorry to go a bit off topic, but if a light is mounted/clipped on to the sump wall, this could present a source of stray current?
My salinity readings have been wild, which I suspect is due to stray current, and I have had two relays go bad, which I assumed was just bad luck. I have not begun trying to figure out what could be causing stray current because my knowledge of electrical things extends no further than how to flip a light switch on/off.

Re: skimmer is off
Possibly if the salt creep was bad enough. I've had that happen before. You gotta love that cool tingly sensation when you put your arm into the tank to scrub algae The easy way to check is unplug it and/or completely remove it and check.btorrenga wrote:Sorry to go a bit off topic, but if a light is mounted/clipped on to the sump wall, this could present a source of stray current?

Re: skimmer is off
it is touching my sump glass and i got compact flursent bulb wich i think in hot wather now and evaporation can conduct stray current to my watersump wall,
the problem gone after i removed the reflector and isolate it well
