View Full Version : All outputs set to ON due to power failures

My house is a two-storey house with the main Controller and unit downstairs but a C-Bus relay and 2 dimmers upstairs. We recently experienced a series of power failures in my house, and since that time the upstairs units seem to have all of their outputs set to ON whenever I connect up all the power. When this occurs I cannot over-ride them using either the light switches or the toggles on the relays/dimmers themselves.

When I look a the installation software I notice that these units have the REMOTE ON and LOCAL TOGGLE Active toggles as in the attachments.

Has something shorted in the upstairs box causing everything to default ON, or has something else happened?

P.S. I can remove one of the two connections between downstairs and upstairs and still use the upstairs switches as stand-alone units (with a few glitches) but that is not sustainable long term.

Does anyone know what could have caused this? I read in a another thread ( I cant find it now) that when there is a short circuit all outputs default to ON on these kind of systems. Could that be it?

Hi shane,

Have you selected "do nothing" under the restore power option?

What is the main controller downstairs and does it have a part number?

cheers

Yes, I've tried both "no change" and "OFF" with no luck.

The unit is a 5200cu/2 (is that what you mean by part number?).
