    Varios-6 feed cycle to go to lower speed not off completely?

    Hello:

    I have a Varios-6 as my return pump and it runs at 100% controlled by a VDM. I'd like to use one of the feed cycles (A-D) as a way to temporarily lower the pump speed to say 20% for a set period of time when I feed the tank. Is there a way to easily do this?

    I'd also like it to turn the skimmer pump off for the same time period.

    Can anyone supply a program/code?

    Thanks.

    Varios
    Fallback ON
    Set ON
    If FeedA 000 Then 20
    Other feeds switches etc.

    Skimmer
    Fallback ON
    Set ON
    If Output VariosName percent < 95 Then OFF
    If Power Apex Off 001 Then OFF
    Defer 005:00 Then ON

    Thank you. Where would I put the code, just at the end of the code I have now for the variable speed port?

    This is what is there now:

    Fallback OFF
    tdata 00:00:00,0,0,100,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
    tdata 23:59:00,0,0,100,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

    Replace what you have with what I posted. The wizard or tdata is not intended for something like a return (exception being closed loops).
