ACJr program

[Rook]

I need some help on programing an AC Jr. I've had it for quite a while and it works great. Now that I purchased a skimmer, I need to modify it. I have it setup so when I hit the feed timer the Skimmer and a couple of power heads will turn off for five minutes. I would like the skimmer to stay off for two hours subsequent, and I need the program language for this. I tried the MaxChange SKM 60 minutes (for one hour) but it does not work. I'm assuming that I'm missing something with this.


Also, I have an Evolution 1400 powerhead that can be turned on and off. I setup a program to turn it on and off on 1 minute cycles, and it works. I'd like to set it up so that this cycle only happens during set hours, namely when the lights are on. Anyone know how to do this? I assume I need to setup an artificial timer.

FYI, I have an AC Jr with two DC-8s (though only 12 ports work at one time on a ACJr.). This is 4+ years old.

Thanks.

There are 2 ways to do this. If you want the feed cycle to be 2 hours for all then look for the menu 'Feed Interval' and change the value for FeedA to 120 minutes but if you want everything else to remain is-as and only have the skimmer remain off longer then find the statement for the skimmer

If FeedA 000 Then SKM Off

and change the value like this:

If FeedA 115 Then SKM Off

5 minutes for the feed cycle + 115 minutes more will keep the skimmer off for 120 minutes.
