    1/2 Flow sensor reading -1456

    Not sure what's going on here but flow sensor is not playing ball. Have change ports, deleted module, restarted apex and running latest release. but Flow is showing odd values.
    Minus as well and the flow is the correct way

    Still all over the place. Even when I turn the pump off it reads high numbers!!! Not even zero!

    I assume then you checked the Flow sensor then and inspected etc. I have no clue what type of Apex you have as you don't have an update profile, please do so. Can you click on the flow sensor in question's tile on your dash and when that screen comes up take a screenshot of it and post it and could you post a screenshot of your module setup page?

    I'm running the 2016 model now. Had an Apex for a number of years. The gauge goes from minus to positive and stays high. If I move the cable sometimes it drops, but heard nothing about inteferience on these! When configuring the module setting to auto detect sets sensor to leak detector! I have deleted module, uploaded firmware again. Swapped ports to make sure it's only the sensor.. And still no luck

    If cable movement changes the sensor reading that sounds like a short. I'd email support and open a ticket

    Do you have it installed in the correct direction? Also did you set the correct values in the configuration?

    Sounds like you need to get it warranty exchanged

    I think this is interference from other equipment. If I pull the cable out of the others it drops! Moving Royal Ex skimmer DC power lead this evening.

    I am curious if this solved it. Most Neptune sensors are well shielded. May be that those DC pumps are particular noises.(in terms of electrical noise as they are almost silent to the human ear) I'll be running flow sensors close to Royal Ex DC pumps on several builds soon. Eventually all the data cables are to be ran separate of the power cables, but this was to be a lower priority to be done later. May have to make this a priority.

    If I kill the power to the skimmer it goes to Zero. However! still some more checks to make I've yet to re-root the cable to see if this solves the issue. The pump is still running so this should not be zero.. Even with the skimmer being off..
