    AutoPilot SC-48 Pwr Ctrl Error

    Forgive me for the delay in responding. I was moving my son into an apartment for school. First, a thousand thanks to Sean. I hope that Autopilot knows what a wonderful person they have working for them. I have never seen an employee of a company offer to take a call on a weekend, just to help...

    AutoPilot SC-48 Pwr Ctrl Error

    I just got home from work and tried to do what you suggested. I don't see that in the maintenance menu. I checked the other menus -- owner options, installer menu -- and the only thing I see is "Freeze Protect" and that is already disabled. Am I missing something? I have the Pool Pilot Digital...

    AutoPilot SC-48 Pwr Ctrl Error

    I had posted about a problem with my Pool Pilot Digital (SC-48) back in May, when I opened my pool. I noted a "Check Cell - Low Amps" error and indeed there was a problem. After some discussion here, sending the unit back to Autopilot - who told me that after extended testing, they could not...

    Autopilot SC48 low volts problem

    Last Words My unit was returned with a new cord last week. Set it up, turned it on, and all was well. I stopped adding chlorine tablets to the skimmer the same day, and my chlorine levels are staying stable at 4 ppm. No more error messages. Looking back, probably, the problem was a cell in...

    Autopilot SC48 low volts problem

    Sorry for the delay in responding. I have an SC 48 cell (title of topic). I had an electrician check the breaker (no problem) but the unit is wired to 110V and plugs into a switched outlet which is attached to a fence near the pump and filter (as is the pool light). The problem with the light...

    Autopilot SC48 low volts problem

    I have a Pool Pilot Digital. It was installed by a local Pool Service Company (Backyard Creations in Frederick Md.) and was "modified" for 110V. They wired it to a standard 110V plug, which I plug into an outlet near my pump and filter. It has worked well for a few years, so I assume it is wired...

    Autopilot SC48 low volts problem

    Let me add another question, I was changing the pool light (which is on the same circuit as the Autopilot) and when I changed the bulb, it worked for a few seconds, then the circuit breaker tripped. Now when I put any load on the circuit, the breaker trips. Is it possible that a faulty breaker...

    Autopilot SC48 low volts problem

    Thank for your help. I am expecting a call from them in a few days. They have offered me a very reasonable price for the new software, and I will get a new cord as well.

    Autopilot SC48 low volts problem

    I purchased an Autopilot Pool Pilot Digital in 2004 and have been very pleased over the past years. This year, when I opened my pool, (April) I noted some error messages on the control unit. (Check/Clean Cell and Check Cell Low Amps). I flushed the cell with a hose and the messages went away...
