Strange EQ start with FW1181

[SolarMusher]

Hi boB,
Same problem on beta/FW 3-1-13
This evening, I was on float when I have decreased Abs Time a little and increased EA, clicked Enter and Back to main screen: the classic was starting an EQ on its own.
Is there something about it in the last beta today?

Thanks Musher.  This is good information for me to check into.

Nothing in the latest beta code from today about this but with your new info,
maybe there will be before this new stuff is released ??

PS...   What was the approximate Absorb time and EA when you did this ?

Allo boB,
I changed Abs time from 3hr to 2hr30=> Enter =>back to EA, increase from 9A to 9.3A=>Enter=>Main menu=>Main menu=> Status.
The Classic started to EQ only one time after these changes were made.
I'm going to update to the last beta if that can help Andrew with mymidnite.

Hi boB,
I've installed several Classic this summer and all seems to have the same EQ problem than mine even with recent firmware.
The last time I was showing my custommer how to start an EQ on Classic and pressed the EQ button (not the up Arrow) it started by itself. Also, it's not that simple to modify EQ time setting, Classic only takes EQ length change on the next EQ cycle. I tried to explain him that the Classic works that way and that he has to be aware about it until a new FW fix it... but I was a little uncomfortable  . It's not a real problem for experienced users but I would not bet that it would be the same for a newby.
Thanks,
Erik

Thanks Erik.   We will put this on the todo list for making it easier to use.
