Aquacontroller II problems

[Bill S]

OK, I bought this from mikeyboy with his tank. Anyone else have one of these?

The temp/pH work fine. However, when I try to program the control modules, all they do is stay on. I have a module with an RJ11 plug in it connected to the controller. The red light is on. I have the controller time & tank time set to the same time. I have the timers set up in the menus with the correct "code" for the controllers, and I have them set to "auto". Is there something I'm missing?

TIA.

Are you running VHO? If you are, they can interfere with the X-10s. You either have to put in filters or try cutting a small wire inside the X-10 (that worked for me). Look on the X-10 website for "Interference Problems" for a detailed explanation of the mod.

I've got a VHO, but it's not hooked up to the timers. I have a couple of filters I can try. But last night when I was trying to get this to work, the VHOs were not on.

Use those filters on the VHOs and use the modules that I was using for the vhos.
I had cut the auto on wire that Falcondob mentions.

He's alive! Mikeyboy's alive! I'll take a look at them. But, if the VHOs were off, shouldn't they then work?

Is this the mod you were referring to?

Yep, that is the one! I was looking for it. Cool! Thanks.
