Seems when my profilux touch goes off for the night (which it is programmed to do) I get a pab communications error. Normal???? I programmed it to go off at 8pm with the lights and come on at 8am with the lights. That is when I'm getting the pab error.
 
Yes; that is normal. It's alerting you to the fact that a PAB device is "not communicating" - a device unavailable.

Instead of powering off a device for the night, why not use the day/night feature of screen brightness?
 
Ok. That would work better. Never thought about that! Thanks!
 
One other question. I had a bad temp probe and went into the program to adjust the temp probe. You sent me a new temp probe. Do I need to readjust that? I have a digital cooking thermometer and a raytec temp gun. They both read the temp at 77f. The new probe is reading about 82f. Just want to make sure it's right.
 
We generally don't recommend adjust the temp, unless absolutely necessary.
If your adjusted prior, may need to readjust now. :)
 
That's kinda what I thought. They say to write down certain #'s before you adjust. I didn't do that. Do you know the factory #'s I'm supposed to put back in? Or should I trust my other temp readings and adjust to that? They are both supposed to be pretty accurate. Thanks again!
 
If you feel confident in the devices feel free to adjust to match those, if you can.
Otherwise let me know and I'll check this weekend.
