Is there a way to stop my moon light from blinking off and on? When in night mode, my Pulse Power light remains constantly on, but will turn off for a split second when the Power light flashes on and off. My Main Power light remains off in night mode. The moon light flashing off and on seems to correspond when the Pulse Power toggles between the Power modes.
 
Is their any chance a light is hitting the photocell on the moonlight during this flashing? In general only light hitting the photocell should be able to cause this.
 
I don't believe so. If so, how would you prevent this from occurring since the light and photocell are placed adjacent to each other? The light flashing on and off seems to coincide with the Pulse and Power Power modes switching back and forth.
 
The moonlight would not likely be the cause unless it was somehow aimed at a reflector that could reflect it directly onto the photocell and the photocell generally needs more light that this. The one thought I had was that if you use LED lighting, LED lighting can be so focused that it is not hitting the photocell in a way that it can work, you are at a threshold between being on and off because the light is just barely glancing the actual photocell. It would then need to be further away in distance (height) for the light to spread, or moved slightly. But if this happens in complete darkness we can rule that out. Is the 7097.050 connected to just one pump or are two pumps networked? This is a new product so I don't have much experience with it, we will get it solved for you, but I will need to contact the factory and see what they have to say.
 
The moonlight only turns on once the my T5's shutdown for the evening. The light is facing downward and is approximately 5" above the waterline. The 7097.050 is connected to a single 6040. The sensor worked fine for first 2 months, I've been experiencing the flashing problem for the past 3 weeks.
