    Apex Jr tripped gfci outlet

    I posted this in the wrong forum before. I just finished programming my new Apex Jr using an Ethernet cable. Everything worked perfectly, including the wireless I set up. When I moved the unit to my tank stand and plugged it in, it tripped my gfci outlet. Nothing was plugged into the 4 outlets yet. The tank has run successfully on this outlet with a regular power strip in the past. It runs on a 20 amp breaker in the fuse box. It seems to me that my setup should be able to power the apex and the four things I use it for. It's a lightweight setup. What could be causing this????

    Does your breaker have a led light on it that blinks when you flip it back on? Mine when it was tripping would blink 5 times and I googled the code and it said improper ground. Good luck I'm not much help but maybe that will help you in some way?
