For outdoor installations, that could also be temperature related, But one of the instances I saw was also a pump controller.
From: Dana Sent: Thursday, December 09, 2010 12:52 PM To: 'RE-wrenches' Subject: [RE-wrenches] Mystery shutdowns Interesting point on the potential of static interference. I have a Lorentz PS600 pump controller that goes wacky and shuts down for no apparent reason around this time of year but works fine the rest of the year. Has anyone else had this issue and did you reach a resolution?

Never conclusively figured out what caused it, but as the 3-4 instances all occurred in winter when humidity was very low and static discharge was common, that could have caused the memory in the internal circuits to lose or scramble data. Kind of like a mini-EMP blast. But that is just a theory, not a proven cause. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Home Power magazine List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Options & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm Check out participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org Northern Arizona Wind & Sun - Electricity from the sun since 1979 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Online Solar Store Free Solar Discussion Forum --------------------------------------------------------------------
