RX200 Problem

[Samson326]

Hey all new to the forum and thought I would say hello and ask a question. I just got a RX200, now I know you are to hit the fire button three times to get to ni200 then three to get to ti and so on. But here is my problem, when I hit the fire button three times it shows NI but when I hit it three more times it don't change to the TI. I have to hit my wattage up button to scroll through the NI, TI, SS, M1, M2, M3. Then hit the fire button to enter the one I want to get into. Does this happen to any body here or has any body heard of this happening

howdy! and welcome!

sounds like it has the updated firmware - i believe that is normal since they added the TCR/ M(emory) mode settings

3 clicks just accesses the menu then +/- will scroll thru the options.
So you are good to go, as stated the menu changed with the 3.0 firmware.

 

[Samson326]

It did come with the 3.0. So thank you for the reply that takes a lot off my mind. I thought I had a bad mod. So thanks again

 

[suprtrkr]

+1. Mine do the same. No worries.

 

[Samson326]

In just a matter of a few minutes I went from, I don't know if I like this mod, ( when I thought I had a problem), to I love this mod now that I know there is no problem. Thank you all for your fast replys.

It wasn't a 3.0 addition, it always required the up button to scroll through the modes.
What changed was the ability to move both directions through the modes.

An absolute home run of a decision IMO (we've got a lot of modes now days).
And the PICO got it too.

perfectly normal mine has been like that since i upgraded to 3.0 firmware

 

[Paul lamb]

Its perfectly fine

You would think, if they are doing the updated firmware before they box them up and ship them out, they could at least put a memo in with it so you know what to do. But noooooo instead they just let you read the booklet then wonder why it's not working right

Google Wismec RX 200 download problems and go through the adds. You will see one on how to fix it, down load everything properly and check to make sure it was down loaded right. There are 2-4 videos that walk you through everything including changing the TCR to your liking for Nickel and SS. I also have different settings on nickel for my different tanks. I hope this helps

Again... this is NOT a procedure new to the v3 update.

However... I've found the problem.

I grabbed my early (Nov.) RX manual and the instructions say...

"Shift Between TC/VW Mode: When the device is powered on, press the fire button 3 times in quick succession to toggle between TC-Ni, TC-Ti, TC-SS and VW mode"

That's all. Oops.
Someone didn't catch the error/omission before printing, and few of us actually read it.

Dude wut?
It's not even a long thread.

 

[Samson326]

It's all good, now I know that it's working right. That's what I needed to know. No worries now

 

[Samson326]

Here i am again. I just noticed that when im in wattage mode using kanthal, I can only go as high as 117.4 Watts with a 0.7 build. Then I put the same tank on with a 0.5 build I can go to 165.8 watts. Then with a 0.3 build I can go to 200 Watts, what's up with that.

 

[Hightech Redneck]

Reaching the max 9v output is my guess.

 

[Scy123]

Here is a ohms vs max wattage chart for the DNA200, not the same device but both has a max 9v output so it should be similar.

P=watts and R=resistance.

 

[Samson326]

Okay thanks, that's a big help. I was wondering what was going on. But it's all good now that I look at that chart. Thank you all for your help. I'm new to all this temp control and wattage stuff, I just upgraded from my vision twist, what a big differants. But if I didn't ask I would be lost, some things I need to know is not in the little user manual.

What do you mean? I bought two RX200 in January and one had v1.07 and the other had v1.08. They both to change coil type, you had to cycle through by pressing fire three times per cycle. Then with v3.0, you now cycled through with the plus and minus buttons. And yes, the manual is correct before v3.0 firmware.
