There is most likely an alarm set up to kick the lights off. Is this a new or used unit?

Assuming used, go back in to modules on setup. Turn off alarms and standby's and remember to SAVE.

I'm really glad I read this thread. Had no idea DA was giving up on our hobby.
Guess that narrows my search to Apex!

Best bet would be to do factory reset so all alarms and standbys are erased. Then reprogram the unit.

Just did factory reset, what would cause the itemp to show "error" on myreef?

Do you have the temp probe plugged in?

Do you have the temp probe plugged in?

no, whenever I plugged the slx module in it cuts timers off. so the only thing plugged in is the pc4 and headunit .

So its reading itemp error because the itemp probe is not connected.

 

[Saltysav96]

only place I have to plug in a temp probe is to the SLX module.

The iTemp probe plugs into an empty buss port. A regular temp probe plugs into the SLX module. How many lights are lit on the RKL head unit?

I dont have the itemp probe.
I just have a SLX module with a temp and ph probe
I have 6bulb ati fixture with fan and reef brite on the timers.
So far ive got everything working including probes

The iTemp error will be normal if you don't have the probe. Also if I remember correctly the ready fit functions will not work without that probe. That would be the heater, fan and chiller functions. You can use the controller function instead and choose the temp probe from the SLX module. The ready fit functions are just the controller function with some items already setup for you which cannot be changed on that paticular function. Hope this helps.
