need help aqua controller jr

reefman76 · 09/20/2008, 12:17 PM

Hello,

I'm trying to set up a aqua controller jr with a direct connect 8. Does anyone have a manual for the direct connect 8? I'm am new to this and I have just programmed the times for my lighting into the system. However I don't know which of the 8 outlets will control each light. I have 3 metal halides to control and 2 acintics. I tried plugging something in after hitting run on the controller but none of the outlets is working. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

you have to name the timers
example MH1-A01
MH2-A02
MH3-A03
the A01,A02,A03,etc are the outlets on the DC8.AO1 is outlet 1 and so on.
push select/setup/timer names ,then name(MH1,MH2,MH3,etc) and label which outlet controls them(A01,A02,A03,etc)

Thanks for the help. It makes a lot more sense now. I was trying to setup and I have no instructions.

you may want to make sure it doesnt have any codes in it already.i went and erased everything from the controller then renamed and programmed it.i had problems with the controller until i erased everything and started from scratch.

Thanks for the help guys. I got mine setup and it makes more sense to me now. Pretty simple once you get the hang of it.

I down loaded the pdf from their web site for future use. It was very helpful
