    Air Pump Won't Power Down On EB8

    I conncted an air pump to output 5 of my EB8 and programmed it to run from 01:00 to 04:00. This morning the air pump was still on but Fusion showed the output as off when on Auto. I moved the position slider to off and the pump was still on. It will power off when I remove it from the EB8 and when plugged back into the Output 5 it stays off. Is this an issue of not enough amp draw to power off the pump and should I move it to either Output 4 or Output 8? Thanks for the help.

    Yes. Low wattage devices like air pumps need to be in 4 or 8 to reliably turn off.
