    Gyre 250 programing

    Hi Guys,
    I have two Gyre 250 pumps in my tank. For some reason when in auto mode, they seem to cycle on and off. I want them to stay on at all times except with feeding. I currently have the pumps in auto mode using the oceanic gyre cycle. Here is what M=my programing looks like. Can someone tell me why they are cycling on and off in auto mode?

    1. Fallback On
    2. Set On
    3. OSC 005:00/005:00/005:00 then On
    4. If FeedA 000 then Off
    5. If Output Feeding = On the Off


    Thanks,
    Steve

    Because that is exactly what the OSC statement is supposed to do. Replace that line with set ON.

    Hello

    I still have got the issue with power heads program.
    I want the power heads to remain close during feedingA (300 sec) and defer by further 5 mins after feeding.

    My current power heads program runs as;

    Fallback ON
    Set ON
    If FeedA 000 Then OFF
    Defer 005:00 Then ON
    If FeedB 000 Then OFF
    Defer 015:00 Then ON

    But the power heads turns on after 65 mins after shutting off.

    Below are my current programs on other outlets.

    Skimmer :

    Fallback ON
    Set ON
    If Output Ret_Pump_2_6 = OFF Then OFF
    Defer 005:00 Then ON
    If FeedA 000 Then OFF
    Defer 005:00 Then ON
    If FeedB 000 Then OFF
    Defer 030:00 Then ON

    Return pump

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

    TIA.

    Ypu can't use more than one defer of the same type on an outlet. Defer applies globally to the entire outlet

    Use one defer. Any feed mode that needs more than the smallest defer time, use the 000 to add more time to it (eg 025 for 30 minute delay after feed ends).

    Thanks Zombie.
    So it means
    If FeedB 025 Then Off
    It will switch off at feedB starts and remain off for next 25 mins??

    And one switch I can still use one defer is that correct?

    TIA

    No. That means it will be off for the duration of FeedB and for an additional 25 minutes after it end. If you cancel the feed mode mid feed it will not observe the 25 minute delay. If the outlet has a defer in it, that value gets tacked on as an additional delay on top.
