When connection is lost?

[Ebone]

So my apex runs both my vortechs and my AI lights.... My question is what happens when the vortechs or the Hydra 52 lose connection with my Apex... I do not have all things plugged into same gfci just in case one trips all is not lost. So for example the gfci trips that my apex is plugged into but not the one that has my lights or one of my vortech pumps. Is there a default setting, do they continue on their program because it is stored in them until told otherwise?

any help appreciated!

And happy "soon" new year

I am assuming you aren't using the eb4 or eb8 that came with it to control power to the items?

Does your hydra communicate through a cable or expansion box?

I would think upon power up they would re establish connection.

doesn't the fallback on/off handle the devices state when connection is lost?

 

[Ebone]

hydra connected through awm and vortechs through wxm. Lights and one vortech plugged into one circuit and vortech and apex plugged into a different circuit. I would assume the fall back on/off functions but if that does why would the program not?

I see what your saying can you turn one off and see what happens? I would think the outlet will just stay either on/off based on fallback you set but programs wouldn't work because the modules awm/wxm aren't powered through apex. Bump for some apex nerds :rolleyes:

For the Vortechs, define a suitable Vortech profile and use a Fallback profilename statement.
There is no Apex-specific fallback support for Hydra/Vega... the fixtures sense the loss of control signal and automatically slowly dim to zero.
