    Heater Problems

    Hello guys I recently moved all of my equipment plugs on my two EB8's. Everything is plugged in and renamed for the appropriate plug its now assigned too. The only thing that isn't working is my second heater. I have two 150W Ehiem heaters that are plugged into outlets 4 and 5. I have the program set to turn on at 77.0 and off at 77.5. Only one heater is coming on automatically. If I turn the heater on manually it turns on. If I then set it back to Auto it turns off. I have attempted to name and changed the values multiple times with no luck. Any ideas?

    I didn't use a code. All I used is on at 77.0 and off at 77.5 fallback on from the basic setup.

    Check to make sure the internal thermostats on the heaters are set slightly higher than the apex temperature set point

    I take it back...Only one of the heaters is coming on at any given time. I have the heaters set at 80 degrees that way when the apex commands them on they will always turn on. This is really weird. Any suggestions?

    In the programming switch the type from heater to advanced. This will show the actual code that your wizard configured. Copy and paste that code here so we can evaluate it with you.

  5. Question: Heater on/off controlled by apex or heater itself? That is the question!
