For anyone using the MLC-1 control and this could be the same detail with other controllers I found out something very critical to the operation and LED display lights . It turns out the controller runs on a timer for the lights and has nothing to do with the deployment position of the tab it comes from the factory set up that it takes 8 seconds for the LED lights to Light up all 5 LEDS on the display. The problem is we have the short actuators that are fully deployed at 4 seconds and the MLC-1 Has a setting to change it to 4 seconds now that its changed the LED display matches the position of the trim tab. I called up Lectro Tab about an electrical question and mentioned that the tabs have a dramatic effect that at most Im on 2 or 3 leds lit up and never need to go to the max that's when they mentioned about changing the setting. Its changed and confirmed and now the LED display matches the tab deployment. Before the change when it was on LED 2 it was almost fully deployed.
