  • How I corrected the problem with the controller screen when it displayed a row of Black Squares. And inverting the actuators to stop water from getting in around the actuator ram.

    I like the idea of turning your actuators in that direction.

      That should really help extend the like of then actuators life . Thanks and take care

    Very good information for people with such systems and probably more applications and equipment, thanks Lloyd

      You are very welcome Jan, I remembered having to do this on early automotive electronics and it was useful on the tracker too. Take care my friend

    That was a great fix and tip connecting the cables together. Turning the actuators upside down seemed like a great idea, I did not think that type is fully water proof

    • @RustyGlovebox
      @RustyGlovebox  Před 7 měsíci

      Thanks, I had replaced an actuator earlier and took the old one apart. It doesn't have a seal of any type so with a little luck this will help.

    Lloyd that is a very nice solar array so you have there... and those two fixes will definitely help anyone with the same issues...

    • @RustyGlovebox

      Thanks Rick, figuring how to clear the screen was helpful. If I couldn't figure it out I would have had to replace the controller. Take care

    Nice of you to pass that along. You've got an awesome set up there. Upside down is best for sure. Have a great day Lloyd!

      Thanks, I hope this is helpful to someone who is interested in finding out what the problem is.

    Hello.
    Problem with the solar tracker monitor screen.
    An issue where the screen becomes black at night and cannot be operated after that.
    You found a way to reset.
    Use the power cord.
    I'm glad the problem was resolved!
    And you have solved the problem of moisture and water droplets.
    Turn the actuator over.
    Wait helpful for users facing similar issues.
    Thank you for showing me.
    Thank you my friend.

      Thank you very much my friend. I have checked it several times to make sure it doesn’t fail and everything looks good. Have a great week

  • @SteveRobReviews
    @SteveRobReviews Před 7 měsíci +1

    Good thinking on the actuators . For the display screen I've run across that on a completely different use but it would trip out and show the black squares as a overheat fault if the display screen is in direct sunlight .

    • @RustyGlovebox
      @RustyGlovebox  Před 7 měsíci +1

      Good info Steve about the direct sun. This one stays shaded by the panels but anything can happen. I will remember that. Thanks and take care

    How's she goin'? That was a slick fix eh. I hope that keeps the system clear for ya. That's quite the system you have Lloyd! Glad to see it's working out for good for ya!! Take care!!

    • @RustyGlovebox

      Fingers crossed Mike, I have been very happy with the tracker . It does a good job maximizing the solar panel output all day. Thanks

    Good idea Lloyd. It worked! Hey, you guys could use some snow.

    • @RustyGlovebox
      @RustyGlovebox  Před 7 měsíci +1

      We had our first winter cold spell a couple of weeks ago, It lasted 68 hours! with the temps in the teens and twenties and a very light dusting of snow that didn't even cover the ground. Yesterday it got to 72. That's life in Texas for you. Thanks Ron and take care

    @MissouriOldTimer Před 7 měsíci +1

    it seems like all the electronic stuff today can be cleared by unhooking power or in my case with this little cell phone that basically locked up,, I just shut it off for a while an when I turned it back on,, all was well.

    • @RustyGlovebox
      @RustyGlovebox  Před 7 měsíci

      I agree Vernon, just like you said if a device should lock just shut down and restart. Thanks

      Thank you, figuring how to unfreeze the screen was a big help as saved me from buying a new controller. Have a great week
