    Default Vortech controller not working

    Hello, updated my Vortech controller to firmware 1.04 and the controller interface to 1.14 without issue. I replaced a broken Ecosmart with a new Quite Drive, I now have one Ecosmart and one QD. Went to the controller overview and deleted all pump assignments, went through the process of getting the pumps ready to link to the controller, hit end and save assignments and nothing happens. Any idea of the problem? Can I not mix Eco and QD? I tried just the QD and still didn't work. Any help with this is much appreciated.

    Edit: The lights on the controller are all on, the RF light is intermittent. I see the controller in GCC so I think the problem is between the pump and controller, not the controller and the Profilux. TIA.

    Controlling the pumps now, but the QD is seen as unknown can't even see what firmware it's running.

    You may have better luck than me, I'm waiting on EcoTech to see what the latest firmware is for the QD, maybe that's the problem. Other than that I'm not sure what the problem could be.

    Probably answered in some obscure thread I didn't find with the search function and it's assumed I didn't use it. This is a screen shot, both serial #'s are the same.

    Seems to be, with no QD modes though.
