Also pentair recommends to properly reset the PA to .....To reset the Protocol adapter, use a paperclip to press the reset button THREE times in succession (with maybe a quarter-second pause between each press). As you press it the third time, the PA should slightly vibrate in your hand (like a muted phone does), and then it is reset. However killing the power for 10 seconds also does the same thing. I know I sound redundant but just making sure all areas covered. Your antennas both inside and outside when working should show pwr green solid. The middle light and trx light should blink in series every so often. Almost likes it having a spasm. Both antennas should be displaying the same pattern at same time. It's hard to see them both together as they are normally way far from eachother but that will tell you if the antennas are working right. They even sometimes make a high pitched dog whistle type sound. Some people can hear it others can't. I definitely can when I'm near the hardware inside.This symptom almost sound like your Protocol adapter may failing. Try this. Unplug the antenna via the plug underneath and kill power to the inside stuff. Or simply unplugg the wall wart. Then take your protocol adapter and unhook the cat5 and the green (r,y,g,b) com port off the side. Take your protocol adapter and shake it back and forth slightly. If you hear what sounds like pieces rattling around your PA has most likely blown something inside. These PA I believe pentair will ship you a new one if you call them and explain what's happening. Also just for sale of it make sure your com ports are plugged in correctly. They CAN be install backwards both ways by accident. also just double check your wires inside the com port via tiny flathead are not broken at the screw. I just had one today intermittently working. His green wire underneath then indoor antenna was broken but still barley being held in the com port. Those wires are comically small and fragile. You don't have to actually use that wire. You can use any 4 wire as long as each end match up properly in com ports. Another thing to try. When you kill the power to the indoor hardware after you plug back in go outside and shut your system down as well for 5 mins then reboot via breaker. Your protocol adapter shows a red light lit when powered correct? I know this is frustrating. I've had several PA go bad that seemed to be working. They will show a connecting to relay server error and just hang or show a cannot connect to server error.
