DC4HD erratic behaviour

[Armando]

Hey Curt,

My DC4HD is randomly turning on and off. I thought they were not susceptible to interference like X10. How this can be fixed?

I have the same issue with a DC4 once in a while. Basically it just won't turn off. Most times I have to manual turn off, then turn on via the controller. Then it works fine. Once I had to unplug the whole unit to get it responsive again. Rarely happens (total of maybe 3-4 times). But I've seen it on my system.

I would say the most likely problem is a duplicate timer names or X10 addresses. Also double check the AquaController program for any extra/bogus program statements. Assuming all this is correct try power cycling the controller (remove the 9V battery and AC adapter at the same time).

In my case I know it's not a dup X10 addy. All my X10 is on a hgher channel than the DC4 stuff. I have not tried to power cycle the controller, as it's much easier to pull the plug on the DC4.
