    AFS not working properly

    I just got a AFS last week and got it programmed. However, it is not turning on at the set times but logging that it did. All firmware is up to date and I have it plugged into my EB832. If I press the feed mode it will turn on. Any recommendations?

    Here is my program. I used the feeder control type to build the program, this is from the advanced view...
    OSC 000:00/000:30/000:30 Then ON
    If Time 00:00 to 09:00 Then OFF
    If Time 09:03 to 18:00 Then OFF
    If Time 18:03 to 00:00 Then OFF
    If FeedA 000 Then ON

    I am assuming you have it plugged into your apex with an aquabus cable and the outlet on your EB832 is on all the time?

    This is mine. It comes on once a day at around noon.

    OSC 000:00/000:30/000:30 Then ON
    If Time 00:00 to 12:00 Then OFF
    If Time 12:02 to 00:00 Then OFF
    If FeedA 000 Then ON

    Yes, I have it plugged in via aquabus to my EB832. My intent is two fees twice a day at 9 and 18

    Looks like its turning on for 1 rotation at 1500, but still logging that it's going at 9 and 18.

    Do you have 2 clocks in fusion? If so that's why it's not turning the right time and you need to fix your clock settings.

    Both clocks are set to the correct time.

    Hmmm... So I programmed mine slightly differently, it feeds 3 times a day, one rotation each.

    Firstly, I include the AFS in a virtual feed outlet, called VFEED1

    Code:
    Set OFF
    Fallback OFF
    If Output vFeed1 = ON Then ON
    The virtual outlet is configured like this:

    Code:
    Set OFF
    Fallback OFF
    If Time 08:00 to 08:01 Then ON
    If Time 12:00 to 12:01 Then ON
    If Time 17:00 to 17:01 Then ON
