    Running OSC pumps won't start back on after feeder program

    I am running two SICCE pumps in oscillating configuration. I have the oscillating functioning the way I want, however, I cannot get them to come back on after running the following program for automatic feeding. My return pump functions correctly, so I am pretty sure it has something to do with the OSC.

    The pumps turn off when the AFS virtual outlet is on, but they do not come back on after the defer time expires. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please see below and let me know what I have done wrong.

    Fallback ON
    OSC 010:00/010:30/000:00 Then ON
    If FeedA 008 Then OFF
    If Output Feeder_3_1 = ON Then OFF
    Defer 13:00 Then ON

    It's because of the defer. You need a virtual outlet with the code

    Set OFF
    If Output Feeder_3_1 = ON Then ON
    Min Time 13:00 Then ON

    In your pumps replace the last two lines with

    If Outlet VOname = ON Then OFF


    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.

    Will this get me a 13:00 minute delay and than initiate the pumps after feed?
    Fallback ON
    OSC 010:00/010:30/000:00 Then ON - Pump start/on time/offtime
    Set OFF - Don't know why this is here
    If FeedA 008 Then OFF Feed initiate program A
    If Output Feeder_3_1 = ON Then OFF - Feeder virtual outlet on then the pump is off
    Min Time 13:00 Then ON - Come back on 13 minutes later?

    No. You have to use a virtual outlet as I described. There is no other way to do it.

    I thought the AFS device outlet Feeder_3_1 is already a virtual outlet since it only connected via aquabus cable, are you saying I need to create an additional VO?

    Thanks,

    Yes. You need an additional one.
