lanman September 25, 2008 Share September 25, 2008 I received my three MP40W powerheads on Tuesday. I installed them last night. I wrote to customer service this afternoon. Two of them are working fine - one master, one slave... The third one seems to NOT be communicating with the other two. Either as a master OR as a slave. I only once got it to even acknowledge that it was a slave - and that was holding it right on top of the master when I pushed the button. It's like the radio doesn't have an antenna. 1" away gives me the red/blue code for 'too far away'. Any ideas, suggestions?? While it took me 10 tries to get everything set up right - it seems pretty straightforward in the instructions. bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveoutlaw September 25, 2008 Share September 25, 2008 Bob - Their customer service is really good. They have a forum on RC that they answer and they get back to e-mails in 1-2 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grav September 27, 2008 Share September 27, 2008 Interesting, For some reason I was under the impression you could choose the 2nd, 3rd etc units to be either master OR slave, and then if there are 2 masters, following units could choose which to be a slave to. No? Did you get the battery backups? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No? Did you get the battery backups? You can make multiple 'groups' of master-slave-slave-slave, but with three you can only choose master-slave-slave, or master-slave, and a "master" in its own group. (or three 'masters' not telling each other anything.) My problem is that one of the units won't act as either a master or a slave. It doesn't listen to anyone, and nobody listens to it. If I try to set it up as a slave, I get red/blue flashing - which indicates the unit is too far away from the master. Even if it's only an inch away. And if I make it the master, the other two both get red/blue - indicating they are too far away. It's like the one unit doesn't have a radio inside, or the antenna broke off. I described the symptoms to ecotech - they said to send it back. It will be in today's mail. bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
