Please help with programing

[Bri Guy]

Ive run into a problem/glitch with my programing.

I want my aqua lifter to dose kalk once every half hour when the lights are off, my programing works with these programs...

OSC 001/029 ON/OFF Then KLK ON
If Tmr LT2 = ON Then KLK OFF

works so far, but I wanted to stop this program if the pH was above 8.35 so I programed...

If pH > 8.35 Then KLK OFF

It doesn't work, the pump doesn't dose at all. What can I change to make it work?

Again I do NOT want to dose if the pH is ABOVE 8.35, otherwise run as normal.

Thankx alot.

Brian - Are you running the latest firmware on the controller? I know there was an issue some similar code I was using on the ACIII and the last firmware update resolved our problem.

My ph is running 7.8-8.0

No I haven't updated any firmware yet (my computer didn't have a serial port, so im wating on a serial to usb converter)

Will adding "If pH < 8.34 then KLK ON" resolve this?

Or will I have to wait for the firmware update?

Thankx

If you are not going to update the firmware, just change the order of the statements to:

OSC 001/029 ON/OFF Then KLK ON
If pH > 8.35 Then KLK OFF
If Tmr LT2 = ON Then KLK OFF

And the problem will likely go away.

Hey cool, ill try that and see what happens after dark, ill report back tommrow, or even tonight!

thankx again

 

[Bri Guy]

Well, that program order didn't work either, guess Ill have to wait untill I can upgrade the firm ware (Im glad I got the Jr. with the serial port)

Untill then any other suggestions to other ways of programing it to listen to me?
