Cannot use Radions with T5’s

[jason7570]

settings? I’ve been keeping reef tanks for 12 years and this one is a mystery. If I move my radion a couple inches ( no wires even close to touching) from my new retrofit kit it either shuts off or it goes in to display settings I.e, goes through all color options. It pretty much goes crazy.. I move it away from the t5’s Works fine move it closer goes crazy again . Is there a setting on the gen 3 pros that will allow me to use a t5 combo?

Problem solved.... I guess the actinics were interfering with the buttons on top. Disabled the buttons , works fine. Weird!

It might not even be close to a answer, but I've seen similar questions on positioning Radions around hanging brackets and sometimes the answer turned out to as simple as disabling the buttons on top of the Radion.

I guess you figured it out as I was typing.

That’s what it was.... who knew?

It came up a few years ago when I had a problem with my fixtures being too close to a bracket
