View Full Version : Powerbar 6E not turning on heaters

For some reason my P4 is not controlling my heaters through the powerbar 6e

The heaters are plugged into sockets 5 and 6

Functions are set to Temperature 1 and Heater respectively

State has a green light
Comm light is amber
P5 and P6 are blue

If I unplug the PAB cable then the P4 has a red warning saying communication is lost

It says "ALARMPABCOM"

So it must be communicating when plugged in.

Do you need a screenshot of anything?

I can't find any info anywhere on the powerbar 6e. I don't even know if the LEDs on the front of the unit change colour.

Does anything need resetting or updating?
Please help

Hello,

If S5 and S6 LED indicators are ON, sockets 5 and socket 6 are ON.

Your heaters have their own thermostat I guess.

Hi Gael. These are 650 watt titanium heaters with no thermostat

Hi Gael

The heaters are working plugged into a separate thermostat

No device is being powered by the 6e powerbar on any socket. Sockets 5 and 6 are shown as on in myghl


I've uploaded a couple of pictures

Hi Gandalf / Gael

I had another go. This time the sockets on the left are working! have made some progress. It appears that on my powerbar the connections looking from left to right are 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and not 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

The heaters are now on! I shall update later when I have had chance to check the temperature is being controlled OK.

GHL should really publish a pdf showing all of this!

Profilux 4 is now holding the temperature steady. Does anybody have a diagram of the powerbar 6e that states which socket is which?

Hi Dave,

I‘m not sure about the english version of the powerbar. In the german version socket 1 is the one next to the GHL logo.

kind regards
