    Hi,

    I don't know where to put this post at, so I stick it here. I got a typhon led controller this week. I plug it in, but all is does is blinking " TYPHON REEF CONROLLER" ON THE MONITER. It say I supposed to see the time and intensity and the channel. But I don't see any of that. Only see blinking screen with above message. Is my controller broken?

    Are your drivers wired into it?

    If so, press the bottom left black button and proceed.

    Ok here for you cosmo,

    [​IMG]

    That all I see on the monitor, blinking continuoiusly. I try press all the key I can, but nothing happen.

    Will this controller handle 5 Mean Well ELN-60-48P dimmable driver?

    I only see 4 slot for V10 and 4 slot for V5 on the controller. When I try it, it only light up when I plug in V10. So I can only do 4 driver on this controller?

    Thanks,

    ok you don't have anything plugged into the 4 10v controls, thats your prob, maybe. plug everything in. You only have 4 different channels that you can specify programs for. So if you have 5 drivers, the fifth driver goes on a 5V channel that you corresponds to the 10 volt channel you want it to run on! Think of it this way. you have 4 different channels you can program, but you can control 2 drivers per each channel, there is a channel 1 that is both 10v and 5v and etc etc. So plug everything into the 10v, then reset the controller by unplugging it and plugging it back in, then hit the menu button, the the mode button till it says all channels on. You have nothing plugged in, so its not gonna go to turn anything on.

    the one thing you have plugged in needs the 10v channel plugged in to work.which is the very bottom one or opposite

    also once those are plugged in, cycle to PWM inverted and make sure it says no, if it still doesn't work, try it at YES.
