Hello all. I just bought the Apex with the AFS and ALD modules. I am trying to understand programming for the AFS now. All I have it able to do so far is just feed at 1900 daily, but I want to change that.
My setup:
My lights (2 Kessils), light spectral controller, protein skimmer, return pump, heater, and 2 power heads are all plugged into my power bar. None of those are set up to be controlled by the Apex other than just the switch being on or off. I have only programmed the heater to be able to turn on and off via the actual temperature from the temperature probe so far.
The sequence I want to run every OTHER DAY:
- turn off return pump and protein skimmer
- turn off (1) power head
- wait 1 minute
- feed one revolution from the AFS
- wait 15 minutes
- turn on power head
- turn on return pump and protein skimmer
I have read the instructions on setting up a virtual outlet, but I am still confused. Here's what is in the manual:
[v-feed] Set OFF
If Time 12:00 To 12:01 Then ON
[skimmer]
Set ON
If Outlet v-feed = ON Then OFFDefer 15:00 Then ON
[return]
Set ON
If Outlet v-feed = ON Then OFFDefer 10:00 Then ON
[feeder_3_1]
Set OFF
If Outlet v-feed = ON Then ONDefer 1:00 Then ON
Does all of that programming go in 1 VO or is that 4 VOs?
I have set up a single VO, but haven't been able to program it yet, it gives me an error message saying:
//Error: line 2 - Statement must start with If, OSC, Min, Set, Fallback // [autofeedseq]
My outlets (non-VO) are labeled:
LIGHT1
LIGHT2
LIGHTCONTROL
HEATER
PROTEINSKMR
PUMP
POWERHEAD1
POWERHEAD2
My AFS is labeled AUTOFEEDER.
My VO is labeled AUTOFEEDSEQ. It has no programming in it right now.
I apologize for throwing out my problem and not having something for you all to review. I'm still reading these threads and trying to learn all I can, but I haven't figured out the actual programming yet.
