Sent two light profiles. Noticed you arent using the BLUE Channel, so I added 20% of it. Full details are in the emails.

Help! Problem with lamp software set up
Help! Problem with lamp software set up
I used the software to set up the lamp. Loaded program successfully. I have 2 different set points for the T5 channels coming on and off at different times. 1 channel runs for 5 hours and second channel for 3. However both channels run for 3 hours. Not sure why. Also cannot seem to use preview mode for LEDs. LEDs do not change color. Tried different color combos and same colors run on LED. Seems to be stuck in the same colors. And day preview does not work. What am I doing wrong and how must I fix it?

Mike right?
If you have a new controller it should have an upgrade firmware highlighted on the software. Older controllers is an PITA. As you have to open the fixture and get upgrade module from ATI.
One hour should be enough to clear the controllers memory. Try it. My lights have stalled like this before and unplugging it took care of problem.
It never said device locked.
Is the USB dongle plugged in the controller. I have seen device locked only when usb is connected to computer.

Disconnect the USA cable from the controller switch of for an hour at least if its frozen into the DEVICE-LOCKED mode which is activated when the controller is being accessed from the computer.
An error might have occurred in the connection when it was connected to the computer causing the controller to freeze.
If it does restart up, I'd do a factory reset and then set time and light profile again. Hopefully it will be sorted out after that. Let us know how it goes.
Guy,
After 2 hours of disconnect and total shut off i did try re connect to a comp and got the same error.Arrrgggg
so, reset pressing 4 buttons as per ATI Tech support and this didn't help either so i decided to load my program anyway with error Device Locked . After setting time my program came on again..Weird..
right now Unit is on but soon as i connect to a comp and try to load program i am getting same error.
Will, call ATI on MOnday

Questions about software
Questions about software
I got the lamp working and loaded the default program with some mods. I have a few questions about the software.
1. How do I add more set points to the cycle?
2. Preview mode still does not work for me. If i go to preview mode and change light colors nothing happens on lamp.
3. If I change colors on a set point it somehow changes the colors on the next few set points to the same color combo. Quite annoying!
4. I have the 3 LED version. Do I have to change the colors on all 3 LED modules. I noticed that I have to move the set points of all 3 LED modules around to ramp up down at the same time. However not sure about the colors. Does it automatically change for all 3 LED modules or do I have to do each individually?
5. How do figure out firmware version and is it a must to update to the latest?

so what is life expectancy on the T5 bulbs with the LED?
I ordered my new 60" ATI powermodule today should be here by end of week. I got 3 blue+ 3 Coral+1 purple+ 1Actinic. I am replacing 3 radion g3 that are on my tank. Tank is mainly sps. Anybody have a good starter program to get me going and how should I acclimate new light to tank.
