@Ditto , thanks for the response. I am beginning to think that GHL will be some time before being in a position to ditching their Windows software. I wish they would publish a roadmap!

Powerbar 5.1 Fail Safe
GHL has the ability to set the Initial State options on outlets in the event they loose communication to the P4.
For Me the Following Switch Outlets are going to be left On, overriding any program that on the outlets in the event the P4 looses communication. It is important to note that by default switch outlets will turned off if they loose connection to the P4, no programming required
For me it is the following outlets will be turned on in the event the P4 looses communication to the Powerbars:
Outlet 1 -Blue Return
Outlet 2 - Skimmer
Outlet 6 - Chiller
Outlet 7- Media Reactor
Outlet 10 - Sump Heater (Make sure your heater has a it own thermostat and should be set only 1-2 degrees higher then the overall tank temperature) (Test your heater first by setting the outlet to Always on, to make sure the temperature of the tank is correct)
Outlet 14 - Tank heater (Make sure your heater has a it own thermostat and should be set only 1-2 degrees higher then the overall tank temperature) (Test your heater first by setting the outlet to Always on, to make sure the temperature of the tank is correct)
Configure Initial State:
Open up GCC Desktop Software
Click on the System Menu Option
Select the Power Bar with the Outlets you want to configure Fail Safe On :
Click Configuration (This is where you would have initially configure your outlet numbers)
Click the Check Box for Initial State for each outlet you want to remain on even after it looses connection to the P4
Click Ok and your all done Very Easy, and Painless
One Quick Hint:
First go into your Switch Channels and Outlets and Right down the Outlet Numbers you want to override on in the event of power. It makes it easier when your looking at the power Bar.
When the Apex loosing connection to a power bar you configure the Fallback option to determine the state of the outlet. You need to go to each outlet you wish configure to behave and place a Fallback on (Outlet will remain on if it loosed communication to the Apex) or Fallback Off(Outlet power downs when it looses connection to the Apex). Depending on Control Type you use you may be given a menu option to for Fallback. If the Outlet your programming is set to a Control Type of Advanced you can add Fallback on or Fallback off option can be placed into the code.
@Ditto and @WWIII i calibrated my pumps on my doser tonight. They do not pump as much as I thought they would. On speed 0 they were between 4.5 -5 ml min. At speed 1 they are all between 9-10ml min. This is far different from the initial setting from the factory of 60ml min at 0. What did yours calibrate to?
I will be setting up my KH Director this weekend. I have a trip to go on tomorrow through Sat afternoon and I would like to be home when I initially set it up just in case
Mine does not show up on my ptouch for some reason
