Feed cycle works through controller not through Aquanotes

rayclark · 02/15/2009, 05:28 PM

My Feed cycle works perfectly through ACPro. When I try to activate it through AquaNotes Vs.3.0 (which I would prefer) the pumps start up prematurely. Any thoughs?
Pumps are through DC8

Here is my program:
MH1$-A1
MH2$-A2
MH3$-A3
MH4$-A4
ALM&-B1
H2O#-B9
PM1#-A5
PM2#-A7
HET#-C1

If Time > 09:30 Then MH2 ON
If Time > 09:30 Then MH3 ON
If Time > 11:00 Then MH1 ON
If Time > 11:00 Then MH4 ON
If Time > 20:30 Then MH1 OFF
If Time > 20:30 Then MH4 OFF
If Time > 21:30 Then MH2 OFF
If Time > 21:30 Then MH3 OFF
If Time > 00:00 Then PM1 ON
If Switch1 OPEN Then H2O OFF
If Switch1 CLOSED Then H2O ON
Max Change 010 M Then H2O OFF
If Switch2 OPEN Then ALM ON
If Switch2 CLOSED Then ALM OFF
If Time > 11:00 Then PM2 ON
If Time > 19:30 Then PM2 OFF
If Temp > 77.5 Then HET OFF
If Temp < 77.0 Then HET ON
If Feed cycle Then PM1 OFF
If Feed cycle Then PM2 OFF

Are you using the latest version of Aquanotes? When you start the feed cycle do you get a dialog that pops up and counts down to the end of the feed cycle?

I am using 3.0.
Yes it does. It continues to count down after the pumps restart.

Try upgrading to the latest version (3.50.3) and see if that fixes your problem; you can download it from the AquaNotes page on neptunesys.com.

Thanks for your help.

I have tried 3.5c that was worse.
If you are referiing to something else, maybe you could share a link.

No, that was it. AquaNotes is supported via email; support@neptunesys.com; see what they say.
