The ReefBox Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Hey @SuncrestReef I named an outlet on my eb32 mp40’s and when I turn outlet on my mp 50 comes on but shuts off my ecotech vectra L1 then both controllers flash light violet color.

SuncrestReef Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 I'm on my way to the airport for a 9 day trip to Ecuador, so not really in a position to help right now, and won't have Internet for about a week. Sorry. You might want to reach out to @obrien.david.j because he has MP's controlled by his Apex. Maybe he has some ideas? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The ReefBox Posted January 1, 2022 Author Share Posted January 1, 2022 Thanks John @obrien.david.j just hooked up my mp40’s to Apex (we’re previously before tank move) and also have a ecotech L1 return pump hooked up to apex. When I switch them on they both flash purple and return pump stops working. Any thoughts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts @The ReefBox - from your intro, we may have a different setup. Your post implies an Outlet on/off type control. Just turning power on/off to them. All of my MP's are controlled through a WXM module, but plugged straight into the wall. No EB832 in the loop for me. (I'm at 8 MP40's + 2 MP60's into a single WXM - that'd be too many EB832 outlets to make sense) Are you really controlling your MP40's just by turning on/off an EB832 outlet? And how is the Vectra L1 connected - also just a different EB832 outlet? Do you have any connections to a WXM? Or are they all configured via ReefLink. (or Mobius?) My experience, even though I've factory reset the MP's and have them under WXM control - they still seem to talk. at times. Especially if I have one NOT controlled the same way as the others. (I had some on reeflink, some on WXM's, some connected to Neither for a while) What's your situation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this may be a case where the wounded/old MP's are sending weird signals to the Vectra (pure speculation). A test for you. Unplug the MP's from the EB832. Assuming the Vectra is running, does it shut off when you manually plug the MPs into a normal wall outlet? I'm assuming your problem statement is, ~Everytime the EB832 turns on your MPs the Vectra shuts off. Or is this a random, once in a blue moon topic.
