Moon lights on Aquacontroller
- Thread starter Aquaduck
- Start date
No, the DC4 or DC4HD does not have any dimming features. There is dimming functionality in the 8th outlet of the DC8. This is an officially unsupported and undocumented feature. When this outlet is dimmed some DC8s may have flicker. For this reason the quality was not acceptable to us so we chose not to support or document it.

Aquaduck,
What does the interface look like? How does it hook into the Aquacontroller? Is it hard wired to it or does it just plug into an house outlet?
The reason I ask is I have an interface unit that I got with the basic firecracker kit from X10. It looks like a module with an antenna on it. Is this what i need?
Thanks,
Jay

The control interface looks like a control module, but instead of an output plug it has a RJ11 connector (telephone). A 4 conductor telephone connects between the AquaController or DCX and the control interface.
The interface you unit received with the firecracker doesn't sound like it will work.

The moon cycle simulation on the AquaController follows the true lunar cycle. So like the actual moon, it may be up (moon light on) during the day. Typically, new moons rise in the morning and set in the evening. The moon rises about 50 minutes later each day, and by the time it is a full moon, it is rising in the evening and setting in the morning.
If you want a night light simply program a light to turn on when the last light turns off, and off when the main lights go on.

switched from rope lights to 25w incandesant
switched from rope lights to 25w incandesant
ade the switch and I like it much better with the incandesant bulb. It's much dimmer than a LED computer bulb and dimmer than the tiny incandesant rope light that Aquaduck mentioned higher in this thread. I like it as it seems much more natural looking and does not overpower the tank like the computer LEDS.

Hi,
IÃ"šÃ‚´m sorry to make such a fool question but I just received my AQII and I want to make the moon cycle but canÃ"šÃ‚´t find the command "MOON" on the "add program" menu.
There is only "MON", so IÃ"šÃ‚´m not sure if this is what it is supposed to be.
In the instructions it says the program should be:
If MOON 000/000
Then MON* ON
But I canÃ"šÃ‚´t find the MOON command, just MON. And I canÃ"šÃ‚´t find the "*".
Can anyone please explain me how to make the program to run the moon cycle?
BTW, I do have the lamp module.
Thanks
Marco
