Rep Power: 22 | Re: Lightning Storms Must have been the same storm, we had here last summer. I was off-line also for three days. Com chips on numerous beds and one timer in a bed was destroyed. My manager, t-max, was going crazy until I replaced everything that was bad. I think if we get a lightning storm like this again, I'm going to shut er' down. |

Rep Power: 0 | Re: Lightning Storms Yeah Crystal, it's either "opto" or "opti" - isolator. It's a small black plastic box that has an in and out port for a t-max cable and has 2 powersupplies that need to be plugged in. You just plug the 2 power supplies in and for the t-max cables just run a small cable from your t-max manager to the opto-isolator and then from that to your first room in your daisy chain. It's super simple to do. I have mine mounted right next to my manager. If I recall it was around $100 but it's been 7-8 years ago I bought mine, so it may have changed since then. I'm pretty sure 4 seasons would have it, as they carry most of ADI's other accessories that many don't. It's basically a surge protector for your com chips. Some of the best $$ I've ever spent. |
