#1 - Fix issue with items disappearing and reappearing or not even recognized in aquasuite 2012 example is power adjust 2 or D5 pump

We cant reproduce this issue, we have many customers that uses PA2 controllers with the aquaero without any problems.

#3 - Have english speaking toll free tech line for the USA

We HAVE a free support line! You have only pay the cost for the call from USA to Germany.

I would have to disagree with the original poster. I think the support is excellent. It can be frustrating at times because of the lack of information in English, but that's a price you pay when you deal with any international equipment manufacturer.

I have 3 x PA2's and one does not show in Aquasuite 2012, evidently the USB device is not being recognized and shows and unknown usb device in device manager. The other two work perfectly. I am using Windows 7 x64 Ult. When I get home I am going to try to isolate the problem, disconnect if from my aq5, use a different power cable, use a different usb cable etc and see if that solved the problem with the unit being recognized in windows.

Short of that the only thing I could think of is the device / hardware id reported by the pa2 to windows is different than the one specified by the driver the other units are using. Windows uses the hardware id to match up a piece of hardware to the correct driver via an *.inf file that lists the hardware id's the driver is designed to work with etc etc. If it turns out it is not a cable / power problem then I will start looking at what the hardware is reporting to windows in order to find the issue.

One thing I was wondering though is if a firmware update might be necessary on the one unit where I would need to install the older aqua suite software in order to update to a specific revision before updating to 2012?

Otherwise it works perfectly fine. =p

Well, I solved my issues. One thing I noticed was a loose molex pin which I fixed, I custom made my power splitter cable to save some room. Also I noticed I had plugged the second power adjust into the second aquabus header on the 3rd power adjust instead of the first aquabus header. Not sure if that makes a difference but everything is recognized and working now via Aquabus and USB.

I think my aquabus issues were related to having a bad daisy chain and usb not being recognized to a faulty power cable.

Cheers! Time to play. =p
