    Default PROBLEM WITH PROFILUX II eX UPGRADE

    Hi all,
    I purchased an upgrade kit for my Profilux II eX controller. I followed all of the instructions down to the last letter. I swapped all the parts, installed new software and everything looked ok. When the profilux was connected to the computer, I noticed after a while that the software had frozen and the LEDs and screen of the profilux were flashing constantly. Also, the screen displayed the following message:
    ''Memory test...
    All data OK!''
    I restarted the software, but it was impossible to establish a link between the profilux and the PC. After a few tries i decided to disassemble the controller to check all the connections, everything looked fine. I hooked everything up again, it was all ok for about 5 minutes (showing readings) then once again the screen and LEDs started blinking and displaying the same message. I've emailed the dealer but I need your advise about what could be going wrong. I suspect that the display (main) panel is faulty.
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Darius

    this looks like the voltage supply is not constant, possible reasons:
    - AC/DC adaptor is not working correctly and can`t deliver the needed output current
    - damage during assembling - there is somewhere a short circuit, damaged cable, ...
    - mismatching parts in your kit

    Hi,
    The seller replied to my email saying its impossible for any parts to be faulty/damaged as it was all checked by GHL before being shipped to England and it was checked again by them. However, it's clearly not working as I tried everything again today but the situation is the same but with the addition of the power adapter cutting out and not working anymore. I don't know, if it's a coincidence that my power adapter has blown or if it was caused by a short circuit in the new upgrade parts.
    Anyway, I swapped all the parts back to Profilux II and I am using my dosing pump unit adapter and everything is working fine. I don't think I will risk upgrading the parts again, as there is definitely something wrong with the front panel.
    Regards Darius
