Digital Aquatics Archon Owners Thread

Hey guys, I'm setting up some alarms on my Archon, hoping someone can give me direction on it.

I have my return pump going through my UV unit before back into the tank. I would like to set up an alarm so if I turn off the return pump (water change, maintenance, whatever it is) it will trip a silent alarm and shut off the UV as well.

So right now I have created a new alarm for it, selected the return pump under device, none under sort by.

From here I'm not sure. I tried both 0.0 and 1.0 for the trip point, both result in the UV being off whether the return is running or not. Any thoughts for me? Thanks!
 
I am by no stretch of the imagination a go to guy for technical advise but others who are have told me to use 0.5 as the trip point. It works for me. Good luck.

my PC4 ourlets show 0-100 on the graph. So choose 50 as a middle point and then have the alarm on below that. . that should allow it to trip when it is off. you want alarm on below. then on the UV, hit alarms button and select off for that alarm.
 
You guys are quick! Thank you!

I think that has done it. Probably should have tested while I was home so I can see it, but bored at work leads to messing with settings.

Only odd thing I noticed, I turn off the return pump, it does trip the alarm, UV switches to off. I go off the output page to any other screen, then return to outputs, the UV shows on for a few seconds then switches to off again.

I assume it isn't actually turning back on until I switch the return back on? I imagine it is just showing me the outlets auto position in this case?
 
What is the best way to create a backup of the programing on the Archon? Do you get another USB drive, pull the USB drive from the Archon and transfer the files to the USB backup device? I'd like to have a backup ready in case the USB drive on the Archon dies.
 
You can also save the files on the USB drive to a folder on a computer. If you want a spare USB drive then you can reload them from the folder on the computer to the spare USB drive. I usually make a habbit of copying the files from the USB drive to a folder on the computer after a software update to the Archon or after a major change in programming.
 
Yes, you can pull the drive without shutting down. Once booted up the only thing it uses the drive for is graphing.

I'm having trouble with mine. Came home today to no lights or heater working. Tried accessing through the local network and couldn't connect. Did a soft reset to gain access. Turned on all the affected outlets and got things working again. Now I'm unable to reconnect to the home network. I've used a scanner to detect it on the network and no dice. This is the second time this has happened btw. I've attempted to contact DA to no avail. Any suggestions?

Mine shut down a few weeks ago. It lost connection to my network. I reset the router and was able to reconnect. Mine is hard wired to my network

Is there a new update available? My system is acting funny and on the system screen I see there is an update available. I am checking in remotely and the screens show all my modules as detached. Sounds like it's another issue.

That's what mine says but I see a line that says update is available. I fear the worst. Sounds like there is a glitch in my system.

I still am unable to log mine back onto the wireless network. Irma came by and screwed with my sanity and I’m just now getting back to it.
 
Anybody got instructions on a factory reset on this thing? My main issue ended up being a power supply and usb stick. Thanks in advance.

Can you access it? If so, log in And choose factory reset from the system page. If not, hold down the reset button for 10 seconds to force a complete wireless reset. Then access with default username and PW and reset from system.page.

I did that shortly before Irma paid a visit. I went so far as to check the usb drive for errors and replaced the usb stick itself.
