Ok got the acjr from joey08 today and it was like brandnew thanks joey08 for a a nice piece of hardware now if I could just figure out how to use it :lol: but for real if some in the birmingham area has used one of these before and would like to help me out I would be forever greatfull I'm in leeds and would really appreciate it alot thanks in advance everyone
 
I'm not in Birmingham, but thought I'd post some code. I believe that code for the Jr is the same for all others. First, set the module address (dip switches on the power strip module-owners manual will tell you what position is what address. Then just come up with names that make sense to you. Keep them short. Below is the code I'm running.

Timers
VH2$-A01 // 120 VHO's
HT2%-A02 //120 heater
SP2#-A03 //120 Skimmer Pump
CHL%-A04 //Chiller
MH1$-A05 //125 MHleft
MH2$-A06 // 125 MHmiddle
MH3$-A07 //125 MH right
VH1$-A08 //125 VHO's
HT1%-A09 //125 Heater
SP1#-A10 // 125 Skimmer Pump
MH4$-A11 // 120 MH
T51$-B01 // 30 T5's
T52$-B02 // 130 right daylight T5's
T53$-B03 //130 right actinic T5's
CO2#-B04 // CO2 regulator
RP1#-B05 //125 Return Pump left side
RP2#-B06 // 125 Return Pump left side
CAP#-B07 // Calcium Reactor Pump
CHP#-B08 //Chiller Feed Pump
CR1#-F01 // 125 Circulation Pump-Tunze 6200 left side
CR2#-F02 // 125 Circulation Pump-Tunze 6200 right side
CR3#-F03 // 125 Circulation Pump-Seio 820 middle left
CR4#-F04 // 120 Circulation Pump-Tunze 6100 middle right
CR5#-B09 // 125 Circulation Pump-Tunze 6100 left side
 
came with unit and i think i have the lighting and temp part right we will see if lights start going out soon I will know if its right or not I will contiue to play with it and see where it gets me

You are more limited on the number of allowable timers with a Jr (I've got an ACIII-24 timers). I think the Jr does 12 timers. You can do a lot more with the code than I have, but this is working for me. Photoperiod may be a bit long, but...
 
halides off @10;15 thats what i wanted now if the vho go off to that will be great then ALL I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IS THEATER AND HOPE THEY ALL COME ON IN THE AM
 
Glad it made it. I had to programs in there for lights you should be able to just change the time on them. I did send the manual with it ?
 
yes its getting a little better the mannual was a little helpfull but i think I will just keep playing with to I get it right
