WOW - away for the weekend, little testing, little attempt to catch up on sleep -- seems like neither worked lets answer some questions:

Graveyard - yes, send it in via the RMA process, we would be glad to take a look at it. We sometimes see that the bullet connectors come loose and create an arc between the plug and the holder, that arc measures a very high temp, which trips a cut off. If those lights are blinking as you described something is getting hot and causeing cut off. BTW I watched people with systems that cost 3x as much as Copperhead have the same issue over the weekend. It happens. Please feel free to send it in, it comes straight to my desk.

ridge - there is not an updated software for Copperhead series, what you have is what you have. If you need to reset your settings, they are all listed in your manual (or the one on the website).

Rapid, any motorized part in the system can cause a spike that effects the system - servo, motor, fan, speed control. Yes a servo can cause an low voltage spike. If you turn down your steering EPA to only the amount you need, it will save extra spiking - which adds up when you hit the throttle, land off a jump, try and steer, then slam on the brakes. Its amp draw overload!!

Stascom - I have seem measurements spiking over 200 amps
