Hi everyone. Having a problem with the AFS and think it is a power issue.
I am in Japan. We use 100V 50Hz power. My external filter, skimmer, heater, DOS (external PS), FMM, etc., all work fine. The Apex works fine as well. But, my auto feeder (AFS) seems to sometimes have issues rotating. I have seen several times where it will fully extend outwards (or so it seems), but then does not rotate and only pulls itself back in and resets. I think it is a power issue as it is the only mechanical thing that is only powered by the aquabus (and also on a long cable that may lose amperage). My thought is that I can plug in a DC power supply (6V DC as indicated on the unit) to provide enough juice to power the AFS if the aquabus cannot supply enough aperage due to the 100V 50Hz power here.
Has anyone used an external power supply for the AFS, and can recommend a location to purchase same?
Thanks in advance!
