I have a transformer connected to Outlet 7 on my EB8. The transformer in turn is connected to a buzzer. About every 10 minutes, the buzzer goes off for a second. Essentially, that means that power is being fed to Outlet 7. The problem is that no event change qualified for that outlet to be powered on. If there was a legitimate event based on the coding, then the buzzer would have gone off for a much longer duration. Below is the code associated with the Outlet in question:

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Outlet DoorAlarm1 = ON Then ON
If Outlet DoorAlarm1 = OFF Then OFF
If Outlet Flood_Pump = OFF Then ON
If Outlet Flood_Sump = OFF Then ON

So, how do I stop these short bursts of power to Outlet 7 when the conditions are not met?

Thanks.....
 
I'd check the input rather than the code.
Possibly any of these switched is faulty...
 
It might have to do with the load and type of outlet you have it on. Outlets 4 & 8 are different than the rest and may be for low current loads. Try moving to one of them and see if the problem still exists. I may have them mixed and and 4 & 8 are for high current items but I'm going by faulty memory. Worth a try anyway.
 
+ on that. I had LED plugged in and it would do about a half second flash about every 5-6 min. My first thought was that I had a short somewhere and I was seeing a electrical arc. Moving to another outlet (#2 for me) solved it.
 
So, I moved from Outlet #7 to #8 and that seems to have solved the problem. Seems like the solution is not consistent. Sewer Urchin relocated from a relay outlet (#4 or #8) to a non-relay outlet and it worked. In my case, I moved from a non-relay outlet to a relay outlet and it worked. Both devices are low voltage (it seems). Can someone explain this?
