Feed Cycle problems

[Pat_13]

I can run the feed A cycle from the unit but when I try B it turns them off then immediatly back on. With B, it does the countdown to feed then goes back to the regular display. If I try it with Aquanotes it works fine. Am I missing something?

Here are the commads I am using:

If Time > 00:00 Then SP1 ON
If Time > 00:00 Then SKM ON

If FeedA 000 Then SKM OFF
If FeedB 000 Then SP1 OFF
If FeedB 001 Then SKM OFF

Are you pressing 'select' when you change the feed cycle selection? Just guessing. It is common habit to press 'select' after changing a selection, well with feed cycles the rule is: "DON'T TOUCH THE SELECT"!!!! Use up/down to make the new selection and take a breath; the selected feed cycle should start within a few seconds.

Select cancels the feed cycle.

No, I can get the feed A to work. It does a 1 second countdown when I do a feed A or B. I press "down" to initiate feed A then "up" to B, that's it. It then flashes "0001 second count down" then changes back the normal run screen.

Set the length of the feed cycle in setup->timer setup->feed interval. It is probably currently set to 0.

I thought all the feed cycles were set for 5 minutes? After initiating a feed from AquaNotes it does a 5 minute feed cycle for both A and B.

:confused:

BUT...on the AC unit the feed B was set to 240 minutes! So after setting it for 10 minutes it now works from the AC unit and counts down like it should.

Thanks Curt :thumbsup:
