Problem with a an Apex PH Probe -

[WhatCouldGoWrong71]

I lost power last night and when it was restored my CARX PH probe didn’t come back online. I’ve never had this happen. I have unplugged the module, the probe, etc. nothing. Anyone have any ideas? I’m going to have to shut my CARX off and wing it with all 2 part today until I figure this out.

Old school reefers are sitting back going - Yup- that’s why I don’t control my CARX that way. Sigh… lol.

this may be obvious to you, but it’s not a probe problem. It’s a controller problem.

Yeah, at first I wasn’t sure if it was the module (PM1) or what. The module was showing functionality. However, I restarted my A3 and then I discovered 7 modules were not available anymore and had reconnected under different addresses. This is one area of an Apex that drives me crazy. I need to reposition this thread and start over. I know the issue now but I thought I corrected it. Something’s isn’t right, I need to ask some questions and get some feedback. But this thread won’t get the attention I want.

How old is your apex. This is a very old form from them but apparently the units have built in batteries to hold setting. Maybe yours is starting to die why your addresses are not holding during a power outage.

Question: Apex Base Unit Battery

Just curious as I've had a few Apex units over the past few years, does anyone know why the small battery is soldered to the contact on the Apex board? I had an older model that would not hold settings or history and have since sold it and bought a newer model that doesn't have that issue...

Sounds eerily like a sd card failure

2 months old, it’s an A3 Pro.

Yeah something not right. I lose power all the time for hours at some time and all setting and address always hold. Perhaps what @A_Blind_Reefer mentioned with the sd card But if it’s only 2 months I’d explore a warrantee replacement instead of trying to disassemble it.
