Various Controller 100% power outage

[coreytrv]

After a power outage, when power comes back on, all my Varios Controller come back ON at 100%.

This is regardless of whether they were initially OFF or had a specific power setting.

Creates issues when skimmer, salt mixing, and overflow pumps blast ahoy.

Anyone notice this as well? Any suggestions on keeping these things from going ham when power comes back?

My guess is the power resetting resets the controller back to 100%, is it difficult to change the power back to how you had them or no

Yes, after power outage, when power kicks back ON, all of the controllers default to 100%.

That means, over skimming in the protein skimmer, way too much flow into tank, outpacing the overflow, mixing station goes beserk.

It's not a huge deal to press the button if it happens during normal hours, but if I'm away, or power kicks back on in the middle of the night, the system is like a runaway mine train.

Winter storms are here:

Wanted to bump this for any potential reefers out there that might have a solution.

Power went out at 2:30am, and it was one of those OFF, ON, OFF, ON situations.

That means, all Varios controllers reset to 100%, ie: over skim, and too much flow for SUMP -> DISPLAY

Will running these through a neptune 0-10v program be a work around? Any other suggestions?
