Steve's Led/Typhon controller help

[NYReef]

Hi all, I just installed Steve's LED into my Red Sea C 130 using the Typhon controller. The light works great so far but I left the intensity pots connected as per instructions, and I can't seem to limit the intensity with the controller, just the pots, any ideas?

I dialed mine back with the pots and with the controller. It was extremely easy to setup I thought. When you cycle through the menu you should have time/intensity/fade duration if my memory serves me right. Have you setup the timer portion of the controller?

Yes I have but now only one channel works and the Typhon turns that bank on and off but has no effect on the intensity. Jeff thought it was the driver or the driver wire but the channel still coming on should still program so I think it is the typhon. What do you thick? and thanks for helping.

Bumping this because I'm running into some difficulties in using the Typhon controller for my set of StevesLEDs. My system is currently not installed on my Biocube 29. I am a complete novice when it comes to this stuff, so I may be completely wrong in how I am going about it.

I am trying to set up the LEDs so that they start, stop, fade and max out at a specified intensity. I set all the channels accordingly:

Channel 1 - Start: 7:00AM, Stop: 7:30AM, Fade: 5 minutes, Min: 0, Max: 30
Channel 2 - Start: 7:05AM, Stop: 7:45AM, Fade: 5 minutes, Min: 0, Max: 30
Channel 3 - Start: 7:10AM, Stop: 8:00AM, Fade: 5 minutes, Min: 0, Max: 30
Channel 4 - Start: 7:15AM, Stop: 8:15AM, Fade: 5 minutes, Min: 0, Max: 30

I did this so I could see each channel work.

What I noticed is that Channel 1 would ramp up to 30 on the display, but no lights, then the same with channel 2 and channel 3. Finally when Channel 4 would kick on, all 4 LED strips would fire up and intensify.

It seems as if all my LED strips are only on 1 channel so I can't run the RB/CB strips separate from the NW/CB strips. Is this normal?
