randallr Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Wiring screwup this afternoon and one controller got 220v apparently. Heard a pop and smelled it when I opened up case. I moved CAT5 to bypass it, but it appears that the 5 controllers after that point will not get a sync now. Red lights just keep flashing.Is this possible? Would it be the main chip on each one? (I have several controllers on the shelf that had a channel or two out that I might be able to rob something off of...)Anybody with thoughts?

randallr Posted December 8, 2012 Author Share Posted December 8, 2012 Well, it appears that the CAT5 failed as well. I ran a new CAT5 to the next controller, and it works. Very strange.Feel better now, only toasted one today... But then, the day isn't over yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Burge Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Just curious, how did you end up with 240V on the controller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merkez Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 The CAT5 normally doesn’t fail and it is there just to avoid such situations. Did you examine it to find any answers about this happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
