6105 / 6055 Aquasurf Wave

[wolf pup]

My tank is a 125 (72" x 22" x 18") and I have 1 6105 in the right rear corner, 1 6055 in the left rear corner, and 1 6055 in the right front corner. The 6055's are both PF1 and the 6105 is PF2.

I'm using
Pmp MODE SD for PF1
Pmp Int 030/100 for PF1
Pmp OSC 10/10/00 for PF1
Pmp MODE SD for PF2
Pmp Int 000/70 for PF2
Pmp OSC 00/10/10 for PF2

I'm getting about 1" of wave right now but am always curious as to how other's have set their aquasurf/tunzes.

Also - is it at all possible to have a feed mode change the PF setting for a pump? - I really would like to not power off the tunzes but set them way down.

Thanks!

Yes, this is possible using a dummy timer, turning the timer on during a feed cycle, off by default and testing the timer to change the profile of the pumps. Be sure to have this test after other conditions that set pump profiles so that it overrides the other profiles.

Try this:

If FeedA 000 Then WV3 PF3

If it works then you won't need an extra dummy timer.

I'm programming an ACJr through the display - It has the serial port but I never made an interface cable ... I'll double check when I get home tonight but I'm pretty sure that my only options were "ON" and "OFF"

Great suggestion on the dummy timer. May have to count lines of code and see if I can consolidate some but that should work. Yet another reason I push the ACIII to anyone who asks my opinion :D

[kenargo]

I checked tonight and you are correct; the if Feed only supports ON/OFF; you cannot set a profile. You can still use the dummy timer for sure.

Maybe something Curt would consider in a future release???

The enhancement is on the firmware wish list. The reason the feed statement was left out is because there are some internal constraints that make it difficult to implement, and would cause more internal memory usage.

Ok - probably a question with an obvious answer but...does a dummy timer use up a timer address?

[kenargo]

It uses up 1 of the number of timers available on the controller but it doesn't need to be an address on a DC8; it can be anything (e.g., P01).
