New Aqua Surf - Need Help Please

[pkolenda]

Programming Help

I am totally lost. And have reached the point of giving up. For this price this product needs a menu driven program. Well, here I am.

I just got an aqua surf and now I am getting multiple errors. I have three DC8 so I believe I can’t use two of the outlets given the AC3 limitations.

I have two Tunzes. I want to run them blasting the reef from different angles but not at a fast wave rather a current. Ideally I would like to alternate them. So the time on is rather long. Ideally I would like to extend it to like 30 minutes.

The way I understood the manual I think you only want/need the syncing profile to have the "S".
So assuming PF2 should sync with PF1 and PF4 with PF3 then you'd change it to this:

Pmp MODE sd For PF1 // Synch Profile 1
Pmp Int 030/030 For PF1 // Power 30% Min / 30% Max
Pmp OSC 900/900/000 For PF1 // 900 off / 900 ON / 0 off

Pmp MODE Sd For PF2 // Synch Profile 2
Pmp Int 030/030 For PF2 // Power 30% Min / 30% Max
Pmp OSC 000/900/900 For PF2 // 0 off / 900 ON / 900 off

Pmp MODE sd For PF3 // Synch Profile 3
Pmp Int 030/030 For PF3 // Power 30% Min / 30% Max
Pmp OSC 000/900/900 For PF3 // 900 off / 900 ON / 0 off

Pmp MODE Sd For PF4 // Synch Profile 4
Pmp Int 030/030 For PF4 // Power 30% Min / 30% Max
Pmp OSC 000/900/900 For PF4 // 0 off / 900 ON / 900 off

I also had issues setting up the aquasurf code inititially(pumps were either on or off only)and I think it had to do with my controlling the TZ1 and TZ2 via the DC8. Instead I put them on a dedicated power strip and use fake timer(TNZ) to turn them off via code.

Thanks but I am still getting errors with this.

Pmp MODE sd For PF1

anyone please.

Still the same For expected error

Do you mean that you are getting erros when you try and save the program containing the AquaSurf code? If so you may need to update your firmware.

You can see my Tunze program here:

Yeah. I got some help from Curt. There were still probs when putting it in with Notes. When I did it direct the errors went away.

I am still looking forward to a menu driven program version.
