How to program "Feed Cycle" ?

[peterlin98]

Does anyone know how to program "Feed cycle" at specific time?

At 11am and 2pm each day, I like to shut off pumps (enable feed cycle). This way the food dispense will not be flushed down the overflow before the fish get to them.

Thank you.

I just push the down button on my way to the fridge to get the food. I take it you mean for coordinating with an auto feeder?

Yes, I need the programming statements so that AC3 will automatically be put in feed cycle without someone to press the button, to coordinate with auto feeder.

I have tried

IF time > 11:00 then Feed ON

Obviously that did not work.

Have you tried:

If Time > 11:00 Then Feed

(without the ON)?

Why not just shut down the various pumps with the normal timer commands?

Examples:
If time > 11:00 then Pm1 off
If time > 12:00 then Pm1 on
If time > 14:00 then PM1 off
if time > 15:00 then pm1 on

or

If time > 11:00 then Pm1 off
If time > 14:00 then PM1 off
Max change 060 m then PM1 off
