Tunze Stream control?

[DrBDC]

I'm having some sort of problem and I'm programming illiterate. Here's what I have:

PF1@-H1

And here is the programming I entered:

Pmp MODE sD for PF1
Pmp Int 030/100 for PF1
Pmp OSC 00/06/06 for PF1

It doesn't seem to make any changes with the pump at all.

I have it connected between the DC8 and the X10 sending module. I've seen blinking on the aquasurf unit. I've double checked that it is the left control on the pump1/2 output so it should be H1 because both dip switches are down (as opposed to both up the way it shipped).

Should it be blinking at each interval or does the aquasurf take care of the shorter frequencies internally?

Should there be a power source of it's own to the aquasurf? Mine didn't have a seperate power supply.

According to the aquasurf manual,
The aquasurf needs to be connected FIRST in the daisy chain to the Aquacontroller and the control out connected to any DC8s or X10s...

No need for a power supply if the aquasurf is connected to a Tunze.

If I am using 1.2 sec as recommended for a 6 ft tank, the osc would be 00/12/12? Which is 1.2 seconds?

I got it working. My main return pump was PMP and I was wondering why it showed PF1 in the status. I renamed it MRP and renamed the tunze TNZ. Making waves now I just need to tune it to the tank!

180 Gallon tank (72x24x24) 3 -6100 & Tunze Wavebox

180 Gallon tank (72x24x24) 3 -6100 & Tunze Wavebox

I currently have 3 Tunze 6100 controlled by a 7095 and a Tunze wavebox. I received an AS for Xmas and I want to use it to replace the 7095 and wavebox controller

the config is 2 - 6100 on the left side of the tank pointing right (either side of the overflow box - Oceanic tank) and one 6100 and the wavebox on the right side pointing left (either side of the overflow).

What would be the correct programming that could get me started - I want full wave (1") during day, small wave at night and good random/chaotic as well for water movement. Would also like wave origination to change direction like a tide going from left to right and right to left at 6 1/2 hour intervals (if that makes sense). All pumps are on magnets so they can be moved if needed.

I know the pumps are overkill - but is there a way to use the 3 6100's and the wavebox with the AS?

I am also having the same problem but am using an AC Jr. It's been going on for about a week now. It'll be fine, then at least 2x a day I need to unplug the AC Jr to get the AS back on track (AC Jr has no reboot).
It's going ito night mode before it's schedule and usually one pump but sometimes both. What's really weird is that it will go into a random chaotic flow which I don't even have the syntax lines for.
Kind of fustrating and almost wanna give up on the unit and go back to a 7095.

My AS has done that too, more than once. I have found hitting "feed" then select to exit feed, straightens the AS out.

I think someone posted this before, but it appears that it might be linked to how the AS does polling with the AC. I exchanged some e-mails with Curt about this and he explained that there might be some "noise" that is interrupting the program and detailed a process for me to isolate this.

I have not spent the time to do this. one, because I really don't have the time for this and, two, because I am not sure what isolating the noise is going to do for me. What, do I then have to take whatever is making the noise offline? Everything I have on my system is what I need. Fortunately, I have a feed cycle that runs in the morning and the evening and the feed cycle will reset the AS into the proper mode. It isn't ideal, and certainly not what I paid for, but it is getting me by until there is a AS software upgrade or some other fix.

Would it be possible to share your feed cycle program? I'm curious on the profile you use for a "calm" pump.
Thanks a lot.

here is how I have my "lights out" cycle

Pmp MODE sD     for PF6
Pmp Int 030/050     for PF6
Pmp OSC 00/08/04     for PF6

note the "D" mode for dividing by 10


I too like the idea of adding auto feeds for just a min to auto reset my AS
