AC Jr help
I have an AC Jr with 4 appliance modules, a lamp module, and an alarm module. everything works fine except for the T5's (LT1) which turns on after about 5 mins at the end of the program then turns off after a few mins and turns back on after a min and keeps repeating this untill the next programming cycle begins. I have it programmed as follows:
IF TIME > 1000 THEN LT1 ON IF TIME > 2200 THEN LT1 OFF IF TIME > 1200 THEN LT2 ON IF TIME > 2000 THEN LT2 OFF IF TEMP >79 THEN COL ON IF TEMP <78 THEN COL OFF IF PH >6.9 THEN CO2 ON IF PH <6.75 THEN CO2 OFF Current Aquarium(s) Description: 120 gal aga reef and 6 yr old 29 gal fresh converted into reef(softies/anemone tank) Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: newbie Last edited by kimoy; June 14th, 2008 at 06:32 AM. |

Re: AC Jr help
Im not to familure with the unit but if it follows standard programming rules and what you put is exactly what you have in the unit then....
Line one is conflicting with line 4 and confusing the program. When it hits line four LT1 turns off, then when it cycles through again LT1 turns on again because of line 1 until you reach a certian time. I think you ment line 4 to control LT2 and not LT1.

Re: AC Jr help
I mean I fixed the post not the controller. It is still not right.

Re: AC Jr help
Are you sure thats all thats programmed into it? It looks pretty straight forward to me.

Re: AC Jr help
So the light is coming on and off when it is supposed to be off? Check out your manual, it will have the index of the different controls, there is an interval setting that may be on, you may also have a wave maker setting engaged for that plug that wasn't removed when the light was added to that plug. You can also email AC, they should be able to help better than anyone.
