    BRS Dosing Pumps 1.1ml

    Hey guys... need help figuring out what I'm doing wrong.

    EB832 Outlet #6 is Calcium (BRS Dosing Pump 1.1ml)
    Code:
    Fallback OFF
    OSC 000:00/001:00/239:00 Then ON
    If Time 08:00 to 23:59 Then OFF


    EB832 Outlet #7 is Alkalinity (BRS Dosing Pump 1.1ml)
    Code:
    Fallback OFF
    OSC 000:00/001:00/239:00 Then ON
    If Time 09:00 to 00:59 Then OFF



    Basically I want to dose only 2 ml per day at 4 hour intervals. Calcium at 12:00am and 4:00am (1 ml per interval). Alk at 1:00am and 5:00am (1 ml per interval)

    Here is the head scratcher. Calcium dosing works. Alkalinity does not work. If I manually turn on the alk outlet #7, the alkalinity works. So I know the outlet is good. But it doesn't want to accept my programming.

    Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. I'm thinking I should swap the Dosing pump power cables from alk to calc and vice-versa and then see the results.

    When you say it doesn’t work, what is the problem? You said it doesn’t accept your programming, do you get an error message when trying to save the code? Or so you mean the outlet isn’t turning on when you expect?

    The way your alk code is written it will go off at 4am and 8am (I think... haven’t had my coffee yet). The OSC command will start from midnight regardless of your “if time” command. If you want to shift the OSC command by an hour, take an hour from the third interval and add it to the first.

    The outlet will accept the programming, but dosing pump doesn't work at the expected time. I have the same code (just 1 hour apart) for the calcium dosing pump and that works just fine.

    Basically I want to turn on the pump at 1:00am, run for 1 min, then goto sleep for 239 mins (3:59) and then dose again for 1 min.

    Move 60 minutes from the alk OSC command from the third to the first interval. This will dose every four hours starting at 1 instead of midnight.

    Plug what you want to occur in this program and use the resulting code:
