Question about SA Doser 2 and sparks at power connection

[Daltrey]

Just picked up a SA Doser 2 and noticed if you barely wiggle the power cord where it connects to the doser it creates sparks and turns on and off. Does anyone else’s do this?

Never had those problems. I have a slave unit though but I assume the power adapter/cord is the same.

just tried it now, no sparks and stays on.

 

[Daltrey]

Ok, thanks. It won't be a problem once it's mounted and doesn't get moved. Not sure what's causing it.

Stress at the connector once pushed into the power connection. You don't want to have any tension on a power connection.

I picked it up practically brand new for $250. I can live with it.

never no what the person that had it before you did.

Yeah, I could probably open it up and resolder the joint. I set it up yesterday and calibrated it and all seems to be working fine. So I will probably just run it as is.

Coming from an apex I have to say it sux having to learn another controller but so far it's been fairly simple to setup. I will be picking up the profilux 4 ultimate in the next week or two. I really like being able to connect directly to it using my phones wifi. And I really really like not having to buy 15 seperate modules to control everything.
