OR4 iCon Blue Plus - Reef Aquarium LED Bar

[Brandon033181]

Just installed them the other day, I set the program they were running earlier today and now they're off. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Help would be much appreciated.
Thanks Brandon

Will they work at all? Can you override them on or run the schedule in test mode?

The test works, it's not very bright, And on the test it seems like the lights come on late. The dotted line is where the lights actually turn on.

Switch over to Quick mode and turn each individual channel to 100% one-by-one to make sure all 6 channels are working.

Only channel one work

How many do you have? Did you buy it/them new or used?

They're two new lights, 6 channels. It's has to be something I've done with the programing they worked when I got them. I was playing with them

It might be. I see you have them grouped. I didn't even realize you could do that. I run my two individually. I might have to change that

Can you connect to each bar individually and test each channel one-by-one to make sure they work? If each channel works that way for both bars, it seems like it would be an issue with the grouping maybe.

That was the first thing I Google how to do that. My fingers are too fat to get The Times right for them to come on at the same time. Think I can do that I'll try it when I get home from work today. I'm also going to stop at the fish store off windward on my way home

OR4s only work off channel 1. I confirmed with Orphek, it's quite dumb, no plans to change it either. The entire bar is controlled by 1 channel, no way around it. The other channels are for fixtures like the orphek Atlantik that has multiple channels. So, if your programming has other channels coming on but not channel 1, that's why its off.

Because of this, I had to group my or4's differently from my atlantik and have them on two different schedules.

Also, I found “Simple” to be the easiest to program with.
Here is my Atlantik with or4 bars

Oh my gosh, trying to get the time just right is so annoying! The key is to get it close, then use the < and > buttons to get it exact.

Ahhhh, good to know! I had never played around with individual channels on my bars, just my iCon. I figured they worked the same way. How annoying!

Ok I got thank you so much
