For outdoor installations, that could also be temperature related, But one of the instances I saw was also a pump controller.

Interesting point on the potential of static interference.


I have a Lorentz PS600 pump controller that goes wacky and shuts down for no apparent reason around this time of year but works fine the rest of the year.

 

Has anyone else had this issue and did you reach a resolution?

Have not seen that in Outback systems before, but have seen it in similar setups. Never conclusively figured out what caused it, but as the 3-4 instances all occurred in winter when humidity was very low and static discharge was common, that could have caused the memory in the internal circuits to lose or scramble data. Kind of like a mini-EMP blast. But that is just a theory, not a proven cause.
