    Question Configure Feed D for 15 minutes

    Hi guys. I want to program Feed D to stop the skimmer for 15 minutes.

    Misc Setup:
    Feed D is set to 300 seconds

    Skimmer Configuration:
    Code:
    Fallback OFF
    Set ON
    If Output RETURN_PMP_O = OFF Then OFF
    Defer 005:00 Then ON
    If FeedA 000 Then OFF
    If FeedD 000 Then OFF
    Based on the above code, will the skimmer turn off for 7 minutes? 2 minutes for the default and 5 minutes for the defer?

    That will keep your skimmer off for 5 minutes during FeedD and an additional 5 minutes after. It will give you 5 defered minutes if the feed is cancelled early. If you want 15 minutes after the feed ends or is cancelled, set the Defer to that. If you always let the Feed functions run until they expire on their own, you could alternatively use the number in each Feed statement to add additional time to keep the skimmer off. You could then reduce but not completely omit the Defer time, as without it you may find your skimmer overflowing if you ever do use manual feed cancel.

    Where does the original 5 minutes come from when Feed D is initiated?

    Cause you said FeedD is 300 seconds or 5 minutes.

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