Connecting Vortechs to Reeflink

Breakthecycle2 · Apr 7, 2015

What a PITA. Does anyone have any tips or tricks they can share? I followed every step. When it comes to resetting the Vortech, one of the steps states the controller should be blinking blue and green. Mine is blinking blue and yellow, no matter what I do.

A blue/Green flashing LED is "Assign the Master" - Set the master pump by pressing the mode button. The control dial will then blink blue and green. You are now ready to assign slave pumps.

Blue/Yellow is for setting "Assign the Slaves" - Set the slave pump by pressing the set button on the driver. The control dial will then blink blue and yellow. NOTE: If the slave blinks blue and red, it was too far away from the master driver and could not communicate properly. Repeat this step for all slaves you want to assign the master.
