    Programming Help with Defer function for Tunze Osmolator ATO

    Hi everyone,
    I'm new to reefing and have a Waterbox 75.2 with its first fish and coral. How can I program the Tunze ATO to defer for 5 min after Feed A in which it is programmed to be turned off. My current programming follows:

    Fallback ON
    Set ON
    If FeedA 000 Then OFF
    If Output PB75_ATO = OFF Then OFF
    Defer 005:00 Then ON

    The ATO remains off with this programming. Any ideas or comments would be greatly appreciated!

    Did you wait 5 minutes?

    Thanks for responding...yes, i waited one hour and it remained off. I also used the same code for my skimmer and changed the Seder to 1 min, and it also remained off??

    Is your PB75_ATO outlet OFF?

    Then that's why the tunze is off. There is probably an error is that virtual outlet.

    I would need to see the code for the other VO and any other outlet that VO is used in to know for sure. I would also need to know the switch state you see in fusion when "activated" and "deactivated".

    I apologize for my ignorance, but I do not have any virtual outlets programmed from what I can see. The PB75_ATO outlet is only used with the program above?!?

    PB75_ATO is the code I was referring to when I said VO. I need to see what that is programmed to and how you are using it.

    Hey Zombie!
    I’ve looked over my programming and the only program that I can find utilizing the PB75_ATO outlet is the one shown below, unless there’s a background program that I’m not aware of. I’ll include some screen shots of what I have. To refresh your memory, I can’t seem to get the Defer command to work with the Feed mode. It turns off when FeedA is pressed, but it does not come back on after the deferred time has passed.
    Thanks for your feedback!

    That second screen shot is the code inside PB75_ATO as far as I know.

    Then remove the if outlet line there. You are referencing the outlet within itself which creates a circular loop.

    I see, so it should read:

    If Feed A 000 Then Off
    Defer 005:00 Then On

    Correct?

    Fallback ON
    Set ON
    If FeedA 000 Then OFF
    Defer 005:00 Then ON

    Or

    Fallback ON
    Set ON
    If FeedA 005 Then OFF
