I was confused why all of my dosers show up in the PAB list, but I couldn't get one to dose/calibrate. Turns out its mimicking another doser. I assume there is an easy way to turn that off?

Edit: I checked, and all the dosers have a separate PAB address.

Edit2: Firmware is the only issue now. I managed to get the dosers setup 1-16

Edit3: no idea how or why. But it stopped asking me to choose a file, and updated as it does in the tutorial video. All good!

Did you assign the dosers to different head numbers? If you don't, they'll all be 1-4. Same with power bar switches, they must be assigned to the non-default.

In GCC
Go to System
Expand your PAB devices

Highlight the Doser you want to change the numbers on and click Configuration

Where it says #1 for Pump 1 change it to 5. All the numbers to the right will change as you raise the number from 1 to 5.
And of course hit save changes when done.

Pretty sure you can do this all in the App too. But I don't have screen shots of the App :(

Thanks guys. Question though... since all 4 of my doses are marked as "GHL Doser 2 Slave", how do I tell which is which? I'll can guess/test for now, but this is something I've been curious about.

Most of my stuff is offline since I'm doing to some built shifting, but one everything is back it would be good to know which powerbar is which and so on... because it doesn't seem to actually put things in order in this hierarchy view..

Unfortunately this isn't working. The lights will blink red as though it has received the change. But then it reverts right back to 1-4. I tried removing and adding it. Same deal. I've completely disconnected it from PAB, and am trying to communicate with it via USB... thats not working so I'm thinking the doser itself is messed up.
I bought it used so I may be screwed.

Firmware updated on all of them?

The firmware updating seems to want me to select a file instead what is shown in the video tutorials. (Must be something special I need to do for older firmware?) I've tried 130 and 133 from the folders.

My other 2 slave dosers and my other SA updated just fine. And with this one, I've tried Master (USB), Master (PAB) Slave (USB) and Slave (PAB)
