T5 interrupting Radions

[Capt_Cully]

I added a single 4 foot T5 to my hood. Only other lighting is 2 Gen 2 Radion Pros.

The ballast is at the back of the hood. It is a good 8-9" away from the Radions. The wiring is at least a foot away from the wiring to the Radion wires.

When the T5 kicks on, it causes the Radion to reset and cycle through its colors.

Any recommendations to clear up the interference?

capt,

You will want to disable the buttons on your Radions to prevent interference. Please follow the steps below:

1. Power down all Radions for 30 seconds
2. Power on All Radions
3. Connect via USB to a single Radion - If NOT using a ReefLink*
4. Open the Connection Manager - If NOT using a ReefLink*
5. Log in to EcoSmart Live using either Google Chrome or Safari as your web browser
6. Select the "Devices" tab
7. Select the "Gear" icon next to "Light 1"
8. Check the box to disable the Radion buttons
9. Repeat steps 7 & 8 for each Radion
10. Select the "Done" button to save changes
11. Once the page refreshes select the "Program Aquarium"

Nice! I'll give it a try.

Not using Reeflink. Just ecosmart.

Worked like a charm. Thanks!

Just curious, why are the buttons susceptible to interference?
