Weird behavior in our code

example - top DSC is with no 12v power, bottom is with 12v power

It's not going to work until you can get 12v into it.

This is what we have now: http://m.imgur.com/Zo5pqK0

Looks like our electrical team wired it up in the wrong spot. It should come out of one of the 30A MAX ports with a 20A breaker, correct?

Correct.
You can see that on Ether's first DSC link.
