ORP issues on power outage

[Giovanni]

When the power goes out on my ACIII, the ORP level indicates it has dropped. If you turn on and then off the 2nd pH probe and then turn on the ORP probe it is corrected. It does this every time the power goes out. I do not have a batter back up yet. Has anyone else had this problem?

That happens to me to. Mine resets to 249 until I toggle the 2nd ph and orp on/off. I think that will go away when I get a battery backup on the 2nd power input and/or get one on the primary power input.

Make sure the temperature compensation is off for the pH probe, and the problem should disappear. The problem will be fixed in the next firmware release.

MY temp is rock solid anyway so not a problem at this point. When do you expect the next FW release?

 

[DrBDC]

My temp compensation is off and it still does it. I also noticed that it can't connect to the wireless ethernet until I do the ph/orp toggle on/off. Then it will suddenly communicate. It's as if the controller gets stuck in limbo.

Make sure you install the latest firmware. You can download it here: http://www.neptunesys.com/manuals.htm .
