I just set this up so I'm not super familiar with it. But I'm assuming this loud click is not normal...
















I bought this from a fellow R2R member. He had included the dosing tubes but unfortunately hadn't drained them, so much of it leaked during shipping. Possible issue? Everything turned on at set-up though. Pumps calibrated and aren't making any noise.

Or is this clicking just par for the course?

Constant clicking like that is not normal. The internal components may have gotten wet in shipping due to not being completely drained.

Please open a support ticket for further assistance.

It is possible, that you are using a ProfiLux and a Doser Standalone (not being set to Slave mode) to control your KH Director.
This constant clicking noise coming from the pinch valve can be caused by having 2 PAB-master devices.

The hierarchy is P4 > Powerbar 6E > D2.1 SA (set to slave) > D2.1 SA (set to slave) > Director

They are all under the PAB drop-down. (I can't 'attach devices' without changing them to slaves anyway)

Are you saying that setting might have changed?

No, it was just a thought out of the experience...
Make a ticket in our support-system as Vinny recommended.

I swapped the SA for a Slave Doser juuuust to make absolutely sure. Unfortunately it didn't change anything. Still waiting in a response from the ticket system. Hopefully we can figure it out soon. :/
