I have 2 big heaters, and I guess my control is a bigger chiller :) One RW15 running, return, skimmer and reactors running off default On from the Apex bar. Lights will be manual until I get the replacement. Which I still want today. Tomorrow latest.

Anyone here ever set their unit to "replacement mode" ? Grasping here :)

God I hate this thing.

Ain't it fun trying to remember how you made it work the first time....

Aquattro 12-12-2015 04:12 PM

Way worse than that. I got it going, had 16 modules listed. Figured that out, had to reprogram everything, twice. Now two of my outlets say they're running Profiles, which isn't possible. Not sure how to correct that.

It solves everything

I think I mostly have everything operational. Been at it since 6am. Making sh1t up as I go. Still have to rebuild pump profiles, and top off schedule. Feed schedules. Alarms. Probably other stuff.

Transfer files
 
Brad,
Does Apex have a transfer file? I know with my profilux I just save it to my computer any time I change something. Something goes sideways and I can just transfer the file back and it's done.
I've often thought that one day I'd swap out to Apex, but it seems I'm hearing more problems with this system. Might just be growing pains as they have brought out a ton of new equipment and pumps lately. Have to work out the bugs somehow.
At any rate, I just bought a $90 cheapo refurbished laptop and use it. Makes life easier, nothing like having to do things twice or three times to make you pull your hair out.

Bob, we have backup .cfg files, but I think it needs to stay current to FW revision. It didn't work, other than restore my user ID and email setup. Nothing else carried over.
Hoping I can view info in the file, because some stuff I just don't recall how I set it up :)
I had to update the FW to get a setting that would make replacing a unit easier. That went horribly wrong. Almost there, just some fine tuning to do, and run a new backup lol

I'm not much help here, but YIKES. Can't imagine the headache if my head unit went kaput. Definitely would need a few "reefers", if you know what I mean. :wink:
