I am trying to install an ATK in stand alone. Due to WiFi issues I am not able to set up the Apex yet. I have cycled the FMM several times and after plugging in the power cord it immediately starts flashing red. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Is this a new ato or used? Sensors clean functioning properly. Sensors plugged into the right port, low sensor In port 1high sensor in port 2. High sensor above water? I've had optical sensors go bad.

Please provide detail information and maybe picture too so we can see how you connect them and etc. Like he previous person said, it could be wrong connections (sensors connected to wrong holes) as this happened to me.

I’m guessing either the sensors or the pump is bad. Learned an expensive lesson on buying used equipment. Thanks for the help.

It is connected correctly and I scrubbed the sensors before I connected.

I had similar and found orange tube was pushed too far down into pump and restricting the impeller causing unit to alarm

It is the FMM modulator. It makes the same clicks with nothing other than the power cable plugged in or with everything connected.
