Feed Mode Problems still for AC Jr

[mylifeismyown66]

Okay so I realized it wasnt working at all before because I would select the feed mode rather than letting it just turn on without selecting it (duh). So now I have it set up to shut off my powerheads, my return, and my skimmer which does. My powerheads turn on right when the feed mode ends, and I programmed my return to come on some time after that, and then my skimmer on even later. The only issue is the powerheads do come on, but the skimmer and return do not until I manually switch them from auto to on. Here is the program code I put in for the skimmer and the return:
If Feed A 003 then rtn off

If Feed A 005 then skm off

Do you have a statement in your code (maybe post your entire program if you can?) to turn the pumps on?

Something like

If Time > 00:00 Then RTN ON
If Time > 00:00 Then SKM ON

If you don't have those, then there is likely nothing that tells the devices to turn back on once the feed timer ends.

I have nothing else programmed for those 2 things. I will try and input those codes you just gave me and see how they work. Thanks!

 

[mylifeismyown66]

Yup, that was it. Thanks again ciphros.

No problem, glad that fixed it for you.

Could either of you give me a quick rundown of the feed code for just my return pump.
Right now I have:

1. If Feed A 005 then RTN off
2. If Time >00:00 then RTN on

Not sure what you are after, that should be all you need. Is it still not working? If so, go into the setup menu and make sure Feed A is set to run for some lenght of time. If that's not what you are after, let us know what you are after.

Just looking for the return to shut down for feed mode. Checked the feed interval & "A" is 005. Also the manual control is set to Auto. Not sure what I'm missing.

The pump does shut down using manual control, btw.

Still needing help with this problem. Anyone see what I missed?
