AC Jr. to stir kalk

[Kelly]

Can my AC Jr. be programmed to turn on my kalkwasser reactor stirrer (Maxi Jet 1200) for 5 minutes every 4 hours? If so, what would the program read like?
Thanks!

Probably more than you want to know.

Exactly what I was looking for!
Thanks Ken.

OSC 5/235 ON/OFF Then Mix ON
OSC 230/10 ON/OFF Then Top OFF
If pH > 8.6 Then Top OFF

I want to interpret your command correctly - does your auto top-off stay off for 10 minutes while the kalk mixes for 5 minutes when the timer first starts?

Then the top-off works for 230 minutes until the next round?

I'm using the following statement : OSC 235/005 ON/OFF Then KAL OFF
Problem is everytime I walk into the fish room the kalk stirrer is running. I suspect that the pump is running 235 minutes and then shuts off for 5. Based on recent conversation with GEO, I now want the stirrer to stir for 2 minutes every 2 hours. I think then that I should have the following statement: OSC 158/002 OFF/ON Then KAL OFF (???)
Please advise.

Oops, I meant to write OSC 118/002 OFF/ON Then KALK OFF

 

[johns]

I think you want

OSC 002/118 ON/OFF Then KALK OFF

Thanks John, I'll give that a try.

correct.

however, in actuality mine runs as:
OSC 15/255 ON/OFF Then Mix ON
OSC 210/60 ON/OFF Then Top OFF
