Detailed instructions for ESL and Radion?

[mic209]

Hey Ecotech, how about some detailed instructions for ESL and Radion programming!!!! Here are some things that can really use some explaining:

Override Timer: Yes we all know that it overrides our program, but how? Are you now able to control it on the 3 buttons on the unit itself? Or, if you set an override timer for 2 hours and set the orange brightness slider to 0% will it go back to regular program after 2 hours?

Program Aquarium: When do you push this button? If you move the orange brightness slider to a different percentage, do you need to hit the program aquarium button before that change takes effect?

Acclimate timer: What exactly is the starting percentage? If i select 25%, does that mean my lights will start at 25% intensity, or is is 25% of the highest percentage?

Orange brightness slider: I was told in another thread by Alex Y Ecotech that it's a convenience slider, like if you wanted to dim your lights, I get that. But why is it, if i have a point at 12:00PM with all color sliders at 100% and intensity at 50%, another point at 6:00PM all color sliders at 100% and intensity at 25% and a point at 10:00PM all color sliders at 50% with intensity at 10%. If I change the orange slider to like 10% from 100%, it changes all those points to 10%. Now if i wanted to go back to my original intensity settings (12PM 50%, 6:00PM 25% and 10PM 10%), I should just be able to move the orange slider back to 100%. But that actually changes all those points to 100% intensity and you have to go back into each point individually to set it back to the intensity you had it at.


Please, make a detailed video on this stuff.


Thanks,

Mike

Override Timer is for the buttons. If you have the buttons on the lights disabled this feature doenst really work.

Program Aquarium, push it when you are completly done. If you change a data point there is a save option at the bottom of that data points box. You need to save each data point but once you are done with everything then you hit program aquarium.

Acclimation Timer, its 25% of the program. So it takes your program, drops it by 25% and then slowly works it up to your program over the time frame you have indicated.

Orange Slider, you are describing a bug in the program. It shouldn't do that. I had that issue and had to clear the cookies.
