Question on AquaController JR coding

[tikireefer]

I have an "older" Aqua Controller JR (Blue face with green back lit screen)

I have been using it for a year now, but have never setup a Feed cycle on it.

Last night I decided to try and setup a Feed cycle and could not get it to work.

The Code that I used was:

If Feed cycle Then PM1 OFF


The Feed A interval is set to 5 (which should be 5 minutes?)

When I initiate the Feed cycle the pump shuts off for a few seconds and then comes back on right away.

I tried changing the code to:

If Feed A 005 Then PM1 OFF

But, I got an error message when I tried to save it telling me that

It was "expecting 'cycle' or delay interval”

Any ideas or tips would be appreciated.

Thanks!

If FeedA 000 Then PM1% OFF <- Will turn the pump on after the feed interval (5 minutes)

If FeedA 005 Then PM1% OFF <- Will turn the pump on 5 minutes after the feed interval is over


I liked having multiple feed cycles that I could use. One was setup to turn off all pumps and powerheads that I would use when spot feeding my LPS. Another one just turned off return pump and left powerheads running and I used this most of the time. I also setup the other two with longer durations that I could use when doing maintenance activities.

Thanks Rizup!

One more question for you on that.

I have seen the % symbol used on a lot of different codes for the AC JR, but I am not using it on any of mine.......everything seems to have been working correctly except this "feed cycle" that I was playing with last night.

It this % symbol an important part of the code?

Thanks for your help
