Hi all! I have a Neptune AFS and I set up programming as they state in the manual but something is not right. Hopefully the experts here can help. I used this example from the Neptune documentation.
One final example. Here we want a complete feeding workflow: Initiate Feed cycle turn off return and skimmer wait 1 minute feed wait 10 min turn on return wait 5 min turn on skimmer
Here’s how you would accomplish that. First, you’ll need a virtual outlet (for information on how to create virtual outlets, see the Comprehensive Reference Manual).
We’ll start with a simple one time a day, single rotation feeding but you can adapt for any number of feedings:
[FeedControl] Set OFF
If Time 12:00 To 12:01 Then ON
[skimmer] Set ON
If Outlet FeedControl = ON Then OFF
Defer 15:00 Then ON
[return] Set ON
If Outlet FeedControl = ON Then OFF
Defer 10:00 Then ON
[feeder_9_1] Set OFF
If Outlet FeedControl = ON Then ON
Defer 1:00 Then ON
So I did all of the above settings except I called my virtual outlet "FeedControl"
The feed cycle initiates but the return pump and skimmer never come back on, even after 10 and 15 min respectively. I have my return and skimmer on Auto, and the Feeder and FeedControl are also both on Auto. When the time programmed hits, the pump and skimmer turn off and then the feeder spins and drops food after 1 minute. That part works. However, after that both the feeder and the FeedControl stay on "ON" and my return and skimmer never come back on. Any ideas?
