dc8 acting up

sleevasteve · #1 12/21/2006, 12:12 PM

My white light turns off on its own once in a while. my ac jr says its still on, but I think its just that outlet on the dc8 that trips off or something. I know its not the wiring for the light, because when it turned off I plugged it in to a regular outlet and it turned on. It only goes off for a minute maybe 2. I'm not very knowledgable with internals of electronics, but if anybody could suggest a solution I would greatly appreciate it. I just hate to have to send the dc8 off for any amt of time and be w/o my controller. thanks in advance.

You may want to post this on the Neptune forum. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/fo...30&forumid=368 I think you'll get a little better response there.

Definitely hit up the forum. Curt will take care of you. Off the top of my head though, I would say you have a pin bent on your AC where you plug the DC8 in. I believe each pin controls two outlets, have you tried switching that device to a different outlet on the DC8.

Oh yeah I forgot Neptune had a forum. No I haven't tried a different outlet on the dc8 just cuz i didn't want to have to set it up on the ac. I just plugged it into a regular outlet, just to see if it was the light or the dc8. thanks for suggesting the other forum. i totally forgot.
