Programming the ACIII

[elephen]

Okay well I have the basics down of programming this awsome little peice of equipment.

Now I'm curious about if the temp gets to warm (84+) shut down the lights and what not.

LT1 is the halides

If Temp > 84.0 Then LT1 OFF
If Temp < 81.5 Then LT1 ON

Is this correct in thinking? I'm thinking no because when I put it in the halides will come on ANYTIME the water temp is below 81.5 verses during the timeframe they are supposed to be on.

I believe the first statement may be correct but not 100% sure.

make sure the "time" line is before the "temp" line


try this:

If Temp > 84.0 Then LT1 OFF
Max Change 030 M Then LT1 OFF

Leave out the if temp below line the second line will keep the halides off for a minimum of 30 min to keep them from cycling too quickly. you can adjust that duration if you like.
