Light not shutting off

[DFWBill]

Hello,
This relates to the Apex system. I have a coralife Aqualight Pro 36. In outlet 1 I have the Antics (2 65w CPFs), in outlet 2, the HQI and in outlet 3 the lunars. Outlets 2 (HQI) and 3 (Lunar) work as programmed; however, outlet 1 will not shut off the power to the lights. on the controller, it shows that the outlet is in fact off. If I manually turn the light off from the light itself (not from the controller), the light will go off. Then if I turn that switch back on, the light remains off. Now I have not tried anyother outlets to see if it is actually a flaw in it.

My program for outlet 1 is:
[Daylight]
Fallback ON
If Sun 000/000 Then ON
If Temp > 82.0 Then OFF
Min Time 015:00 Then OFF

for 2:
[Sun]
Fallback ON
If Sun 120/-120 Then ON
If Temp > 81.0 Then OFF
Min Time 030:00 Then OFF

for 3:
[Moon]
Fallback ON
If Moon 000/000 Then ON

Anyone else ever have this? This is a brand new controller.

Thanks,
Bill

sorry, misread post. I would have expected the problem to be with your lunars not the CPF. Try a different outlet or even outlets 4 or 8.

Hey Alan,

Well I'd thought the same as you. Ok, was trying to save 4 and 8 for my drew's dosers. If i have to use 4 or 8 for the CPF's do you think i'll run into issues by plugging one of the drew's into another outlet?

Yes but there's no reason those CPF's shouldn't work on a functioning TRIAC outlet. It's just more to see if the outlet is the problem vs. a permanent solution.

gotcha... will some other outlets tonight.. I have a EB4 as well. I'll just run down the list to see what bubbles up.
