Tunze 7094 trouble

[steveoutlaw]

I have a Tunze 7094 multicontroller. I used to run 2 6100s on it, but I upgraded tanks and now have 2 6055s and 1 6105 on it. I'm trying to get the 2 6055s to pulse together and then then 6105 to pulse. Trouble is, I can get any of the settings to work other than all pumps on at all times. Help!

Hello? Anyone?

For the 7094 this would be done by plugging the 6105 into the 1st socket and the 6055 into the 2nd and 4th socket. You would then select tide mode, if I recall this was two arrows pointed at each other, the manual would have the details. The Interval light should come on and you can then use the interval switch and dial to set the time between.

Roger-
This didn't work. When I hook it up this way the 2 6055s just click every once in a while, but never really run. Please help.

Thanks.

My guess is the controller is going out, a weak spot of the 7094 was the setting switches. This controller was discontinued in 2004 and there just isn;t much that can be done for it. To confirm my suspicion is it possible for you to take a picture of the controller as you have it set up and post it or email it to me? I would guess the switch for the modes is corroded and stuck in an in between position. The other thing that could cause this is being stuck in foodtimer or night mode so you might check that the foodtimer button wasn't pressed or sticking and the photocell is disconnected.

Thanks Roger. I will try to get a picture of it and send it to you. It's not stuck in night mode or feeding mode because I have it running on 2 pumps right now and it seems to be working just fine. The problem only occurs when I connect the third pump.
