having trouble settng up AC3 pro

[monkeybiz]

I'm using an act pro to control very basic functions (daylights, blue lights, filter pump, jebao wp10 powerhead, and heater).

After reading through the manual I reset the ac3 and then deleted all default timer programs I wasn't using.

Under names this is what I have

Night light = LT1-A01
Day light = LT1-A02
Filter pump = PM1-A03
Jebao wp10 = PM2-A04
Heater = HET-AO5

Under timer programs this is what I have

If Sun 000/000 then LT1 on
If Sun 020/-020 then LT2 on
If Time > 00:00 then PM1 on
If Sun 030/-030 then PM2 on
If temp < RT-0.4 then HET on
If Temp > RT +0.0 then HET off
If FeedA 000 then PM1 off
If FeedA 000 then PM2 off
If Time > 00:00 then ALM off
If Temp < 75.0 then ALM on
If Temp > 78.0 then ALM on

After programming I went to plug everything in and only the return pump (PM1) is running.

I went to manual control and set each to ON, and still only PM1 is running. The DC8 display a solid green light.

Only thing I think may be wrong is the address is not matching between the dc8 and the ac3.

I didn't understand the instructions in manual on how to check/setup the outlet address. I assumed that LT-A01 meant that I should plug light 1 into outlet 1 on the dc8.

If anyone can offer some insight into where I went wrong I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

So after some searching , I found the physical switches on the DC8 and the are all in the up position. So it should respond to A1-A8 address commands on the ac3, but they don't. Does this mean one of the two are no longer working?

I find it odd that pump one is the only thing on and nothing responds to manual override controls. Even if I try to manually turn on something currently off or try to turn pump 1 off since it's running.

Update in case anyone else ran into this problem.

After resetting everything, disconnecting all cords, and re-connecting all cords I was able to get outlets 4-8 working. Outlets 1 and 2 are stuck off and outlet 3 is stuck on. Outlets 1-3 do not respond to manual control or programmed control but outlets 4-8 respond to both.

Is this a common problem with older dc8's?

Not that I had every experienced.
