Re: BCS-482 Unresponsive

Hey mjap52, Sorry I didn't see this before, I haven't been on the forum since I got everything working again. Something must have been up w my unit, Brewers Hardware swapped it out for me and now everything is fine. I'm hoping you got it running by now, but if not, what I do when I'm having network ...

Re: BCS-482 Unresponsive

Ok, Brewers Hardware got us up and running again. Whew! This was different from what happened with the 462 I wrecked earlier. That one (after running fine for 2 years) I tried to hook up a space heater to a relay that didn't have enough heat dissipation. The relay burnt out with sparks and smoke and...

Re: BCS-482 Unresponsive

Yep, I disconnected everything when I was doing my reset and it didn't seem to make a difference, so I plugged them back in. No restores since yes, restoring from the old 462 caused problems and we can't yet backup the 482. I think I noticed a trend. When I first got it to reset, I went to fix the s...

Re: BCS-482 Unresponsive

Ok, that did it. After several tries it finally reset.

Now, however, it comes back on, works for a 10-30 min, then goes dead. If I cycle the power it will clear all its settings and come back on, but before I can get my configuration re-entered it goes out again. Something is up.

Re: BCS-482 Unresponsive

I have a stiff metal wire that fits perfectly and definitely hits the button, so that's not the problem. When you did your resets, did you hold reset for 10 seconds, power off, power on, repeat?

BCS-482 Unresponsive

After a recent power outage, the BCS-482 no longer appears to be working. The power light is on and the network cable lights blink on and off, but it stopped controlling things and no longer shows up on the network. Any idea what could be wrong with it? It's protected by a UPS, so I'm not expecting ...

Re: Setting BCS-482 Temps w Recipe Utility

Backing up the bcs settings also freezes at about 90% done. I assume that's related?
