    Temp Probe Calibration

    3 temp probes, same system.
    1 in the sump, 2 in the tank.
    New probe that came with Apex 80.5
    New probe connected to PM1 in sump, 82.4
    Older probe connected to second PM1 (in tank) 83.6

    Lab grade liquid filled glass thermometer 79.

    Since both my tank & sump temp both control my heaters/chiller,
    I would like them closer.

    I don't care if the are off .5 or that the sump runs a little hotter,
    but when I put all 3 next to each other, I want them to be close.
    I had no issues running 3 and calibrating them with my Apex Classic,
    but with this new 2016, I've try both Fusion and local, and the calibration
    doesn't take. I go thru all the steps, but the temp never changes.

    Anyone seen this issue?

    TIA

    Try apex local.

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

    Thanks, that was the second thing I tried.
    I can change the values, after I hit next, it goes very quickly to done, I even click the send to Apex tile, but no changes are made.
    If I go back to recalibrate, it shows the old values.

    Try rebooting the controller and give it another try if the values aren't updated already after the reboot.

    ***** UPDATE *****
    After the reboot, same issue. Couldn't calibrate the probes either Local nor Fusion.

    Tried a second reboot with the same results.

    Tried again this morning using Fusion, and I was able to calibrate all 3 probes.

    Go figure!

    I didn't change anything from last night.

    So for the time being, it's working.
