    Using Var Outlet causes ALD issue

    Hello,

    When I use Var3 & 4 (not using 1 & 2 for now), one of the ALDs becomes "closed". As soon as I not use the Vars the ALD is open.

    Please advise.

    Thank you,

    Don

    Sounds like electromagnetic interference. Try moving the cords around so that the varspd cord isn't next to and parallel with the leak sensor cord and see if that fixes it.

    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.

    The 2 modules are at least 6" away from each other and the cords are coming from different directions and do not intersect. Also, the 2 modules are not on the same plane.

    Odd. Maybe it's a firmware issue. Try updating the ALD module firmware and see if that helps. If not it has to be something screwy like a ground loop or something.

    I would create a support ticket then. If it's not firmware or EMI then it's gonna be a PITA to troubleshoot yourself.
