To make changes I have to make the change and calibrate again, soft reset then disconnect.

Not using a mac. All 5 internal pumps don't respond at all, nevermind the external DC outputs.

It looks like main power IC is burned by too high current taken by that Litermeters pumps..

Interesting that it ran for several hours before all motors stopped responding. So, wouldn't that mean that if any external accessory shorted it would take down the whole pump?

Przemek, kudos to you guys at Pacific Sun!!!

That would be nice... If the doser works for me without fail I would consider that purchase.

Probably a good choice, it takes a while to get through customs...

$350 shipped was a good deal, considering I paid 600 for my original pro. I do wish they had them in black. P.S did the sheet metal change with the gen 3?, am kinda wondering I can swap internals into my black chassis, lol.

It was mentioned a few pages back, the switch to White from black pump heads.

I don't see it. But is that the only change? Are the connections the same in the back? Why the change? If it's a whole new gen, change should be pretty significant other than just a color change.

There was a run of all white dosers late 2015 early 2016 I believe. Were those gen 3?

Ok, calling the change "gen 3" was misleading, was under the impression that the white and black pump heads was not just a color change. May be Prezmek can chimme in on this

I have received my doser few days ago.
This thing is a beast, top notch hardware quality.
I had some trouble using the application but I think I found the solution and it's all good and was very easy to calibrate and set it up.
Using windows, the setup should have been opened with "Open as Administrator" option to work without issue. I didn't have this issue with my Pandora light though.

Thanks Pacific Sun!!

Have a question if you guys can help would be great, I had to put the doser on the stand shelf upside down for the pump fitting to be hang downward and connect to my containers, but now the screen is upside down as well. It's not a big deal but just want to make sure I am not doing something stupid !!

You can pop the heads off and rotate them 180deg.

So, does anyone know a trick to getting DC AWC mode to actually turn on??? The AWC cycle just doesnt start at all....
I have it enabled, calibrated and saved. Test Pump 1 and Test Pump 2 work fine.

P.S Why is the weekly water change limited to 500l when it is in DC mode?

@andrek
AWC procedure start at xx:50 of each hour.
Can you tell me which size of tank you have if you need to do more 5than 500 liters weekly water change? That limitations is set in software, we never had any questions about that but if you need replace more than 500L weekly - we will ask programers for increase maximum water change volume.

@Jos
We are talking about Android app right? If yes, it's almost finished and when it will be ready we will publish information also in this thread. It should be available very soon.

Przemek,

I moved the user time to xx.49.30. It beeped and started pumping on Pump 1 but after about 15 seconds it stopped and the other pump never turned on. I noticed the screen was blank while the pump was running. I left it alone and tried to catch it at xx.50 and I heard two beeps and nothing happened.

I am using the latest firmware and software available for download from the website. When the software is running and connected the bottom of the windows Shows software version 1.6C and firmware version shows 1.6E, however the title bar in the software 1.6e.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried that multiple times, no luck. I have a feeling PS didn't quite test the DC AWC function fully.

Are you using optical sensor?
It's required for AWC in latest software/firmware version since floating levels sensors are not supported anymore.

It shouldn't be any issue related to software/firmware. Everything depend from water amount replaced in single change.
If that amount is too small and level sensor will not react to water change - it will not dose "fresh" saltwater.
Be sure that your optical sensor is placed in last chamber and water levels are correct.

The weekly water change amount is set to max of 500l, which translates to 3L per change. Pump 1 is calibrated to 210ml/min, so that means the pump should run for 14min. Only the Optical sensor is installed as main ATO sensor. As Tomasz suggested, I tried removing the Optical sensor out of water, before setting the xx.49.55 user time. Same result, pump stops before 1 min. Also tested, removing the sensor from the water after the pump started running. I also tested setting diffetent calibration values, result is the same.
