So yesterday, my MH light would be on then go off 10 mins later. Everytime I turned it on, it would go off again. So it was either bulb or Ballast in my mind. Switched bulb and it still goes off.
Replace ballast and it seems to be fine

I get home today and the south (Mhsouth-1) is off.
Look at fusion and shows it off. Odd, why would it be off?
Try turning it on via fusion and Ipad and nothing. Try fusion and PC, still nothing.
Go down to sump room and notice other things off. Check GFI and it has been "triggered"
Reset GFI and all go back on but MHsouth-1
I look at the power consumption etc on the bar graph and see the "NPlugs" and SPlugs" powerbar graphs showing weird stuff. The splugs says it shot up to 75 amps if I am reading it correctly...then it shows it going down to nothing....I assume this is why the GFI broke, but how can it go from 0 to 75 amps numerous times? The GFI does not reset itself...

The Nplugs, show the dosers going on and off, but it usually goes from 0 to .8 amps. Now it shows constant power consumption of .8? and the more , when the dosers go on/off

Am I reading it wrong?

The odd thing is that the Splugs bar runs off a 15 amp breaker and the Nplugs and Eplugs run off another 15amp breaker. These two breakers are the only breakers in the panel box. The power to this panel box is supplied by the main box. There is a 40 amp breaker supplying the satellite box with the 2 15 amp breakers.

If there is a spike to 75 amps, as the graph shows...Should it not show that spike in all graphs, since power to those bars come from two breakers supplied by one breaker?

What does this tell me? Is there a way to understand where the spike derives from? Is it an apex issue? Power? Both?


The next is is that I try and put MHsouth-1 outlet to "auto" and the lights do not turn on. If I put it to "on" they go on. Even if I try from off to auto, or on to auto they will not work in auto.
Is it because of this line in my MHsouth-1 prog If Power SPlugs Off 600 Then OFF?
It has been a bit , since I programmed these lights, so I am not quite sure why i used that program line...



Ok, to add to the oddness. I just noticed that the Splugs show 29.3 amps in the pic, so I looked at the real time pic and it said 18.?...So i look and apex says everything is on that is supposed to be etc. I then try to put MHsouth onto auto, it goes off, I move slider to off, look at Splugs graph and it says 0. Go downstairs and sure enough GFI is triggered off again. Coincidence or ?

Sorry, cannot upload screen shot for some reason.
