Good afternoon, hope someone can shed some light on my situation.
Just installed a brand new EB8 to my Apex Jr (latest firmware) on Friday, everything appears to be
working as it should, I'm only using 4 of the outlets at the moment (moon
lights, fans, skimmer, and return) but I noticed that the power flickers off and
on randomly on all outlets. It doesn't happen all of the time and I can't find a pattern as to
when it happens, but it will do this (from what I can tell) several times a day.
Sometimes a few times within a few minutes, today I only noticed it three
times. I do have 2 of the 3 low voltage items in outlets 4 and 8.
I have never had power issues before when everything was plugged into a DJ strip, I should note that the
Apex Jr never loses power or had any issues and they are on the same 20amp
dedicated circuit and I have had it working flawlessly for about a year.
I did start a ticket but the response has been extremely slow. So far they had me try to update the module and bootloader from the display. For extra measure (and suggested by another user on RC) , I disconnected the usb cable, deleted the EB8, reconnected and started over. I haven't had a chance to see if that made a difference in terms of losing/flickering power, but I do know that at least two of the outlets were not staying on even though I have the fallback as ON. They will only stay on if I manually switch them ON, not Auto.
The other weird thing that is happening, when I plug in my T5's (2x54), the temp bounces around like crazy between a whole degree. I turn off the T5's, its ok. Its an older ballast but im really confused about that one, which is the main reason I bought the extra EB8.
Any thoughts would be appreciated, like I said, I have had no problems in the past year with just the JR, but this EB8 has been a nightmare out of the box.
Thoughts?
