Why does it say No AC when it's plugged in?

First thing I'd check receptacle for power.Plug in a tester or lamp. If that doesn't work try "reset" button,which should clear all,then input station times,clock etc.

Doesn't make sense to me. Probably your AC circuit is dead. You're reading "No AC" from auxilary battery power. Did not have that problem at all. My installation (replace Rain Bird) went seamlessly. Good luck.

You have no power to your outlet. Check your garage or other outlets for a gfci protected outlet that has tripped.

check your power outlet to be sure that it works. There will be a readout from battery power giving you the impression that it has power from the plug when in fact the back up battery is powering the display. Check the outlet by plugging in another household appliance. If that does not resolve your mystery, call Orbit at 1-800-488-6156

I'm not sure but... Did you remove the plastic shield protecting the little nickel-sized battery? One more thing... is this before any valve control units are connected?Best of luck with your unit. I've VERY satisfied with mine.

It is possible there is a problem with the electrical circuit or wall receptacle and the unit is running off back-up battery powerrather than the household AC circuit. Plug in another electrical item and see if it works. If it doesn't work, you have a problemat the outlet or circuit. If it does work, you know your power supply is good and the problem is with the unit. Try clearing itand plugging it in again. If the problem persists, I would contact the seller to see about getting unit replaced. We have nothad this problem with our unit so I am only telling you what we would do to try to find the problem.

I have had to replace one unit due to power surge from lightining. Assuming your 120vac source is good, (test or have tested by competent persons), open the outer and inner doors and inspect the contacts. If the transformer output is 24vdc, check the circuit board on both sides, (a few phillips screws will remove it from the housing), for signs of over heat or shorting out. If no visible signs exist, contact Orbit customer service http://www.orbitonline.com/contact or 8004886156. They are extremely helpful.

These other folks are spot on Marilynn - we had the same issue and it was a bad GFCI plug installed outside. The "No AC" means the battery is powering the unit but won't power the sprinkler controls. It's either the prime power source or the unit. I'd suspect the former.

Great question. I just went in and interuppted the power by tripping the breaker. After 3 minutes I restored the power and the Air conditioner started right back up with no input from me at the correct temp!

The amp has a transformer which is plugged into an AC outlet. When I unplugged it, I did not get signal.

Be sure the red light on the cooler plug (into car outlet or AC adapter socket) is lit. The cooler plug fits very loose into the AC adapter (poor design) so it's easy for a bad electrical connection to occur.

It does run off of AC power if you have plugged in the adapter to the wall and to the radio. And--you need to make sure it is sitting well inside the charging unit. If it is not placed properly in it (for example-not flat at the bottom--then the red charging light does not come on indicating it is not charging. Plus make sure you are turning on the ON button if you want to hear a report. It does not report the weather if it is not turned on. I hope this helps.

This means that it requires A/C. After plugging it in, it will run for approximately 2 1/2 hours and then shuts off automatically.

Mine came only with a USB cord, no AC plug. Good luck -- it seems to be inconsistent!

I'm not sure. I have had problems with my A/C adp. not wanting to charge. I don't know if its the adp or something in the computer

When I plug into AC power, the light on the brick (the AC adapter) lights and stays steady. If your adapter is blinking at you, make sure you have a good solid connection to your AC outlet, and that nothing is bumping it. Also check your prongs to make sure they are not bent in, as if somehow they got squished or something. You can also check to see if you have power to the drive, you should feel it spin up -provided that the drive is good. The only light that I see flash is the activity light on the SATA converter. I suppose it is possible that you got a bad AC adapter.

If it is plugged in to AC. Mine is not using battery backup and if the power goes off, the unit goes off.

If you are plugging it into a properly wired cigarette lighter outlet, the unit is off, then you have a defective unit. If you have it connected as I describe, and you turn it on with nothing plugged into the AC outlet and the fuse blows, you probably also have a defective unit. Once you have plugged in a load, then you need to examine the device you have plugged in if it also blows the fuse. The power requirement also must take the startup current into consideration.

It seems like it has to be plugged in. I didn't realize it was intended to work without being plugged in

No, it does not have an AC plugging. It's battery operated, and I haven't replaced the batteries yet since I bought it. In the future, I will try to build the AC plugging.

Mine doesn't because it was connected to a power source by wiring within a wall.

My unit ran on batteries for 6 months and is still running. There is no ac connection

Sounds like you might have a dud...if your outlet is on. Bad power supply or something in the charging process...

Looks like it plugs into a cigarette lighter in your car. I don't see any AC outlet nor do any of the reviewers mention 120V AC ouput. Hope this helps.
