Also don't soak it too long, about 3 hours is good.

Is that 100% vinegar you use to clean them or like a 50/50?]]> Sun, 08 Apr 2012 08:29:39 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=55584&PID=460161&title=mp40w-pair-keeps-turning-off#460161 <![CDATA[MP40w pair keeps turning off : they usually turn off because...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=55584&PID=460126&title=mp40w-pair-keeps-turning-off#460126 Author: DanhNgo

they usually turn off because there is some resistent with your wet side that's adding more friction than normal. There is thermal turn off built into the driver. I would sugest doing a vinegar dip and clean it good. ]]> Sat, 07 Apr 2012 22:30:34 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=55584&PID=460126&title=mp40w-pair-keeps-turning-off#460126 <![CDATA[MP40w pair keeps turning off : I would guess if they both turn...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=55584&PID=460082&title=mp40w-pair-keeps-turning-off#460082 Author: tileman

I would guess if they both turn off at the same time, it would be an apex issue, not vortec. Try running them without the apex.]]> Sat, 07 Apr 2012 15:24:25 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=55584&PID=460082&title=mp40w-pair-keeps-turning-off#460082 <![CDATA[MP40w pair keeps turning off : Anyone have MP40w vortechs and...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=55584&PID=460080&title=mp40w-pair-keeps-turning-off#460080 Author: utahwatertoys

Anyone have MP40w vortechs and know how to diagnose problems with them?

Today for some reason my MP40w pair decided to turn themselves off for no apparent reason,

I unplug them and plug them in again and both start running again like normal but after about 90 seconds they just both shut off.

I can't imagine why both would suddenly start doing that. It would be one thing if just one of them did that but for both to simultaneously do that, there must be some sort of reset or something? They are both being wirelessly controlled by my Apex controller.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
