Morning all,
I had reason to cut the power to the house last night (doing some demo work).
When I restored power my P3 booted OK. All the pumps, etc started OK.
The Mitras (6100) powered on OK but all 3 are reporting 0% on all channels.
I have used GCC and reloaded my .lic file. I transmitted to all 3 lights and tried to do a test illumination run. Nothing.
The screen on the P3 is reporting the correct % levels for each channel but the lights are still reporting 0%
Is there any way to test the serial card is actually working? I wonder if the power outage fried it.
In Summary the P3 says the channels are right but all 3 lights are saying 0% (should they retain a copy of the lighting schedule and work independently of the P3 anyway?)

On the PLM-PWC card there are two lights, one is solid and the other usually flashes. Are any of them ON?

Thanks for the reply guys. I tried everything last night - as a last resorted I reboot the P3 again and it came alive :)

I wish I had checked the back of the unit for lights @Vinny@GHLUSA but I didn't :-( It's sort of hard to get to the rear and is working now.

Thanks for the replies.

This is always the first thing I do when my electronic devices not are in the same dimension as I am. By experiences - it solve more than 75 % of the cases. It so common in Sweden to do this that it has its own name - The Norwegian reset:)
