    feedb cycle

    hello
    I want the skimmer and ca reactor to turn off for 5 hours but it turns on after 1 hour settings on feedb cycle,
    pump return works fine, the other two do not know that this is failing.


    pump return
    Fallback ON
    Set ON
    If FeedB 060 Then OFF

    skimmer
    Fallback ON
    Set ON
    If FeedB 300 Then OFF
    Defer 001: 00 Then ON

    ca reactor
    Fallback ON
    Set ON
    If FeedB 300 Then OFF
    Defer 001: 00 Then ON

    thanks

    Change the If FeedB 300 Then ON to If FeedB 300 then OFF

    You read this as If FeedB is active then keep the outlet off for that period of time PLUS the 300 minutes you put into the number field.

    Oops, i was thinking of the feed cycle times set up in the misc tab. Yes just change the ON to OFF and it should work. I corrected my post above.

    You cannot use 300 minutes here. The maximum value for added duration in an If FeedX statement is 255.

    Using the Misc page, change the FeedB Interval (base duration) to 60 minutes. Then edit the programming as follows:


    [pump return]
    Fallback ON
    Set ON
    If FeedB 000 Then OFF

    [skimmer]
    Fallback ON
    Set ON
    If FeedB 240 Then OFF
    Defer 001:00 Then ON

    [ca reactor]
    Fallback ON
    Set ON
    If FeedB 240 Then OFF
    Defer 001:00 Then ON


    I do not see any reason to have the Defers in the skimmer and Ca reactor programs... why do you have them?

    I continue to learn something new. 255? I can't say I ever recall that value, but then again I don't think I've ever wanted something off that long after a feed cycle either.

    Thanks for having my back Russ.

    When FeedA is activated, the output will turn off and stay off for the duration of the FeedA Interval + 15 minutes (the 015 in the If FeedA statement) + 20 more minutes (due to the Defer). Did you wait long enough?
