Hi All,

Newbie with the AC JR. I have two DC8s, but am running into a problem in that Aquanotes lite only accepts 8 timer names. What am I missing here?

Thanks!

AquaNotes Lite reads the timer names from the controller. You only need to program the timer names and when AquaNotes reads the tank status the next time it will add them automagically.

Thanks, Ken. I think I follow you. I am going to go to the controller and attempt to assign my skimmer.

The Jr supports a maximum of 12 timers; is it possible that you have reached the limit.

The AC3 supports 24 and the AC3Pro 40.

Bingo! That's it. I wish I had known this limitation before buying the JR. Crud! Thanks Ken, I need to figure out a work around.

The comparison between the units is here:

It has the information but many vendor may not link to the page. I guess you need to upgrade;)
