    Max gyre alarm messages

    Hello guys, I’m getting multiple alarm messages for my Mac spec gyre pumps. The alarms seem to happen every minute or so once they start. First one I will get will say set off. Next it will say if output max gyre pump amps <0.1 then on. Has anybody ever seen this?

    Don’t use Amps - use watts. The Gyres don’t draw enough power to effectively use amps to sense an abnormal condition.

    It’s possible that your programming results in the speed of the pump to go down, thereby using less than 0.1A of power at those moments in time.

    Post the programming for the Gyre and all pertinent alarms settings.

    NICE! I don't remember setting this feature up. How do I changed the alarm from amps to watts?

    I think I fIxed it by turning off the Amps notification tab. There is still a watts tab that is set to recommended values. Is that all I had to do?
