ATI safe mode

[Mydoghasfleas]

My ATI fixtures are up, and I am having a problem with safe mode. In my fish room, which gets a little warm. The fans seem to be functioning fine.

Is there a way to just turn safe mode off? I know it gets a little warm, but that’s is okay for now. I really don’t want to have to turn it on manually every day. On auto it will just ramp the light way down.

I can’t help with the specific question but I can bump the thread to see if we can get you some attention

ATI actually reached out and helped. Excellent customer service! Not sure how to delete the thread.

Same. I’m curious on the resolution.

I leave my canopy open or else my T5 fixtures show 44C. I’d prefer to keep my canopy closed (I use fans and I have vent holes on the top but still gets hot unless I open the doors).

What about drilling holes for 120mm pc fans on a thermostat, have them sucking or pushing air.. thats how I cool my lights they kick on throughout the day

This is what my long term fix will be. Since I have a fish room ambient temps get warm. Plan to make a PVC fitted run to outside the fish room and use a fan to suck cool air over the intake fans on the fixture.

short term fix is to raise SOLL temp setting. It will allow for a higher temp before safe mode. This is at the expense of the ballasts, and could cause failure. Also believe it voids any warranty on the fixture.

I use a dehumidifier and a window ac for my fish room but the t5's still get warm but the 120mm fans do allot of heavy lifting, with a temperature sensor above the lights.

This is how I have the fans setup. Above there are many holes created for ventilation.
