Q? - Pump Seize and Alarms

[o2manyfish]

Roger,

I added a 6100 to my Trio of 6200's last week. Currently they are on the 7094.

A couple of days ago I noticed the 6100 had stopped working. I took a gander at it in the tank, and it was perfectly still. I figured one of the dogs had probably knocked the cord out.

Last night when I shut off the Streams, to clean, and then turned them back on the alarm went off.

The pump sat for almost 2 days without any alarm. And then after the power was reset the alarm went off.

Do I have something configured wrong ?

Thank You,

Dave B


PS - There was a lil bit of fine sand in the housing, did a rinse, a wipe, a rinse and then a blow out with the compressor and it's up and spinning again.


PSS - Will the 7095 have a possible random flow pattern ?

Their is one line up point on the magnet that is a blind spot to the sensor and will not sound an alarm. That is likely what you found. If you imagine the rotor being a clock between 11 and 12 o clock the sensor cannot read what the rotor is doing. It is a very rare stopping point though as it is between poles and the normal force is to move to the next pole.

The 7095 will have the same random mode as the 7094 but I think we did better to explain it. If you use pulse while in sequence mode the pumps raqndomly tun on at different power intervals and create a random effect.

Thank you,

Figures with my luck I would hit the blind spot.... Maybe I should line up a blind date for the weekend, and see if I get just as lucky.
