Can I get someone to come to cibolo and assist me with this install I'm so frustrated right now and my tanks starving for oxygen right now cause I can't get these pc4s working

[Zack]

what's going on buddy?

[ducati996]

Alarm1 module limit that's all the head unit says the red lights are blinking on the pc4's

[Zack]

How many modules do you have hooked up and what's the sequence?

[Zack]

Are you linked with the last link to the temp unit?

[ducati996]

Temp unit only plugs into the sl1 no bus cable

[Zack]

Temp probe can plug into the pc4

[ducati996]

The connection dosent fit in the pc4 its not a bus cable end

[Zack]

shoot a pic of your temp probe end

[ducati996]

Pic isnt uploading ill text it to u

With a SL1, plug the temp probe there... it goes in between the BUS cables.

If you were closer I would drop by or if the weather wasnt so bad.

[350gt]

the basic of basic reef keepers plug into the PC4...

[350gt]

[ducati996]

[350gt]

[ducati996]

I switched it head unit only shows 2 modes

[350gt]

Sl1 goes before pc4s

[ducati996]

I believe I have a defective pc 4

[ducati996]

This sucks I was hoping to have this thing up and running but 6 hours later I'm in the same sitiation

[350gt]

How do you know if its defective?


maybe just needs to be updated... The controller won't find it if it isn't running the same firmware I believe.

[ducati996]

I updated everything when I hooked them up it says they don't need to be updated

[ducati996]

Ill pay whoever wants to come program and get these pc4s running for me I'm at a crossroad and gotta have this done

[KING]

man..just sell it..

[ducati996]

I just bought it at elegant reef today I think one of the pc4's is screwed up

[350gt]

Just run your important stuff on the one working pc4....


stuff like skimmer and return can go on a normal power strip to you figure it out....

louis won't leave you hanging like that, did you call the shop? He's better at diagnosing it..
