So, I walked through the room with my tanks earlier and noticed one of the lights that should be on was not. So, I took a peek at the P4 to see what if anything the issue was. My Touch told me no PAB devices detected, which included the Touch and 2x Powerbars. I unplugged, re-plugged everything in various combinations and powered on/off the P4 itself to no avail.
I popped into GCC and no PAB devices could be detected. Eventually I got it to recognize the Touch without the Powerbars plugged in. I connected one Powerbar which meant both were connected as the second is daisychained to the first via PAB.
Once I did this my MH fixtures powered on, though they weren't supposed to at that time. After about 30 seconds and a loud buzzing from one MH fixture they both went off which seemed to trip both Powerbars.
Now, both powerbars seem to work fine except when I plug my MH fixtures in. Either one seems to trip the bar and I'm not sure why, they worked just fine up until now. One fixture fires with the buzz from the bulb, the other doesn't fire at all but still trips the powerbar.
Is this an issue with the two outlets potentially or possibly an issue with both MH fixtures/ballasts? I find this latter to be hard to believe but anything is possible.
If anyone has followed this ramble this far....let me know what you think.
