Power Outage Issue

[mhurley]

Roger,

My power went out yesterday for about 90 minutes. When it came back on, my Streams did not come back on. The multicontroller remained dark. I had to unplug both Streams and plug them back in, then it all fired up.
Is this normal?

I can't say I have ever heard of that or had that happen from a power failure. I would strongly recommend a surge supressor though. I have seen pumps act this way from a surge and they can be ruined, they do essentially run off a computer. It sounds as if the breaker inside the transforme must have been activated so that saved the system but cut the power until it was reset, the computer itself contains no protection except the alarm and some electronics that protect the pump itself.
