    ALD Not Working - Help

    Hi,
    I just installed the Advanced Leak Detector with my classic APEX.
    The switch SWX5_1 appeared in the new tiles and I dragged it to my Dashboard. I added some code to text me if the event of a leak. I then went to test the surface probe by setting it on a wet napkin and nothing. The Dashboard shows 'open'. I even tried placing a screwdriver across the probe regions.
    It seems so simple. The hardware seems pretty simple too.
    Am I missing something?
    Thanks,
    John

    Try reseating the connector. It might not be pushed in all the way. Also make sure the module is configured for leak in that port.

    Also, keep in mind while testing that fusion updates about once every 30 seconds so you gotta be patient with the response time (emails should come even it you don't wait long enough for the refresh though)

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

    This is an ALD, not a FMM; there’s no module/port configuration of an ALD.
    Please do not send me PMs with technical questions or requesting assistance - use the forums for Apex help. PM me ONLY if the matter is of a private or personal nature. Thanks.

    Correct. I was thinking LDK not ALD. Everything except that particular sentence still applies for an ALD though.

    Hi,
    I tried a number of things (reseating connectors, new aquabus cable, different port on the energy bar, ..) but no luck.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    John

    Try going to the module setup page on the classic dashboard and see if the firmware shows (OK) or (OLD) if it shows old update it and see if that helps.

    Updating the module firmware did the trick.
    Thanks!

    By the way, I am an engineer ... should I be offended by your tagline?

    Only if you don't have the skills to prove how little of a life you have
