Connecting to Apex now pump is dead

[WestTexasReefer]

I have an older MP40w that have run great for 5 years now. I recently bought an Apex and the WXM module to control the Vortech's. According to their manual I updated the WXM and also on the module. The pumps I have based on how it flashes when powered on is version 2.2 so they need to be updated to 3.1. I followed instructions in Apex manual to update the firmware and it was flashing red/white so I assumed it was done. I powered it off and back on to see what version and now the pump light is solid red and not working. I tried to update another one and it has no lights and is not working. I have tried powering on and off, holding the set and mode button and powering on, tried holding set and mode while powered on and nothing responds. Is there a way to reset the pump? At this point I would just like to have te pumps working again and forget about controlling with Apex.

Then delete the virtual outlet and do a reset on the pump, if you do not have a virtual outlet then it is not attached.

It never attached. I never got that far. I need to upgrade the firmware on the pumps from 2.2 to 3.1 first and that is where I ran into problems. One pump the light is solid red and one has no lights. I haven't been able to do a reset. When I hold down set and mode it never gets to where it is flashing red/white/blue. It doesn't respond at all. There must be a way to do a hard reset on the older models.

WestTexas,

I would recommend powering down both the VorTechs and the Apex system. Next only power on your MP40w's to see if this corrects the issue.

Even though they were never paired up? I will try iy when I get back home.
Thanks
