![]() thanks big blue. question for you. i have two computers at home, one connected to the modem/wireless router hard wired and the other computer is connected wirelessly to this unit. i have been trying to connect to the controller with the computer that is wireless, is this right or should i be using the computer that is hardwired to the router?

![]() hi niloc16
in any case you must establish the connection directly (ad hoc) for the initial settings! Please use the wireless computer for configuring with Deviceinstaller and shut off the router while this procedure, maybe he would disturb this process! Please tell me when you got access to the PLM-WLAN, than i will go on with support and tell you what to do next. And don't forget: - assign a static IP to your wireless notebook before searching the device with DeviceInstaller - if not allready done: Reset the WLAN settings in Profilux to defaults |

![]() just tonight i had the same problem as bullit67, my halide would not shut off. the led is out but there is still power my wife had to unplug it to get it to go off. i dont understand why a heavy load would effect the relay system if the bar is rated for 1500w. it is too late now to bang on the power bar to see if it will work but i'll try in the morning.

![]() Hi niloc,
bullit67 wrote he did NOT connect metal halide lamps to the socket which seems to make trouble. To your case The powerbars are even designed for 15A switching current. The relays are applicable for 250/16A. The problem is the high so called inrush-current of inductive loads (here are the coils of your ballast inductive). At the moment of switching on the metal halide we have a current of up to 150A for some miliseconds! This current peak is to short to blow the fuse (otherwise your housefuse would also blow) but in some cases long enough to damage the relays. This problem is always given with switching coils (eg ballasts for metal) and there are these solutions: - use of an inrush current limiter - spread the load to several sockets (maybe you connected some lamps to one socket?) - use of an digital electronic ballast. (These electronic ballasts are standard in our metal halide lamps) I know that other manufacturers of switchable powerbars have these problems too. Some solved it by the use of electronic switches. But these have the disadvantage that the can't shut off small loads (eg valves). Others solved it using more sensitive fuses - here we have the problem that higher non inductive loads can't be driven either. And could you please give me the exact watts for metal halide lamps you connected to the socket? Maybe you have the model/producer of your lamp/ballast? Greetings Matthias |

![]() matthias,
i only have one metal halide lamp connected to this power bar. it is a 400w lumen max2 reflector with and aquaconnect 14k bulb and a 400w icecap electronic ballast. the other bar i have has 2 of these same units on it but are programmed to come on 1 minute apart from each to reduce the large load all at once on the power bar. colin |

![]() Hi Matthias
The ballast colin is using is the same ballast we had on the fixtures @ MACNA so they are a bit different than your european version of electronic ballast ![]() ![]() There will be a intial start up surge ,with most these ballast. Colin how is the W-LAN working for you?

![]() the WLAN is not working, i have not attempted installing it in about a week. i was getting extrememly frustrated so i left if for a bit and actually played with the controller, got it setup in the tank finally. but possibly this week i may try again. matthias and bigblue have given some ideas to try so i'll try that. by the sounds of it my issue is my wireless network and since i've only used the wireless internet for about 3 months i'm pretty inexperienced in troubleshooting and setting up the network.
