Status show "Low Volt"

[KevinBroski]

Does anyone know why my Vortech is giving me a "low volt" next to my status on my Apex controller, everything is running just fine.

This is a question for Neptune. We're not familiar with their hardware.

I did ask Neptune, and they pass it on to you

Did you ever email neptune? They don't monitor the Neptune Systems forum constantly; the reply you got was from another RC user.

To breathe some life into an old thread...

One of my MP40's reports 'low volt' in Fusion. Neptune says it's a Vortech problem Fusion is just passing on.

What's going on? Is the power brick failing?

Bump!

Anyone from Ecotech out there?

Wood,

As long as the unit is operating normally, I wouldn't be concerned. With that said, it's unclear why the Apex would show an error if the unit is operating normally?

 

[woodnaquanut]

Thanks for the reply.

I'm not sure it is operating normally. What is normal and what would low voltage effect? How do I tell if it's operating normally?

Is there a non-Apex way to find and confirm this error message? What does low voltage refer to?

 

[woodnaquanut]

Bumpity, bump, bump!

John,

Is the controller flashing any type of error codes? If not, the pump is operating as expected.

I get a red/green (IIRC) error occasionally. When this happens I cycle power and it clears up.

The last time I had the 'low volt' message there were no error codes until several days later. I cycled power and cleaned the wet side and no longer get the 'low volt' message in Fusion.
