RJ 45 Control Box warm

Moved from here.
Just got mine installed yesterday. So awesome compared to the old SGS that was running before. One question for you guys, does your control box get really warm? I went down this morning to check everything after running all night and that thing was pretty toasty. Just want to make sure mine isn't defective.

I'd have to touch my module to see. It's so blazing hot this time of year here in Texas everything just seems hot to the tough. Do you have an inferred thermometer by chance to get a reading? I'm sure some fellow RJ users will reply with how theirs feel.

I am seeing about a 20-25 degree difference between the block wall one foot away from my RJ45 controller and the controller box itself. The block wall is at 95 degrees and the controller is at 117 degrees. The SWG is generating.

Given the controller box heat sink design, I would guess this is normal.

My pump motor temp is about 110 and it's running at 1200rpm. All temps taken at 0840am.

Edited: All equipment is shaded.

Thanks for the info! I will check those temps but glad to know yours gets a little warm as well.

Just checked my module at about 110. My pump motor on the other hand ..... that's a different story at about 160. Yeah, it's on its last-leg. It shuts down from time to time. I'm stalling. Ha.
