Seven of my eight lights come on and go off at the same time, except for one halide. LH4 stays on after the 16:00 shut down time. It is pluged into port A09.

LV1$-A01
LH1$-A02
LH2$-A03
LH3$-A04
PR1#-A05
PC1#-A06
PCH#-A07
LV2$-A08
LH4$-A09
LH5$-A10
LH6$-A11
PC2#-A12
PS1#-A13
CHU&-A14
PS2#-A15
LM3#-A16


If Time > 12:00 Then LH2 ON
If Time > 16:00 Then LH2 OFF
If Time > 12:00 Then LH3 ON
If Time > 16:00 Then LH3 OFF
If Time > 12:00 Then LH4 ON
If Time > 16:00 Then LH4 OFF
If Time > 12:00 Then LH5 ON
If Time > 16:00 Then LH5 OFF
If Time > 12:00 Then LH6 ON
If Time > 16:00 Then LH6 OFF
If Time > 09:00 Then PC1 ON
If Time > 23:00 Then PC1 OFF
If Time > 09:00 Then PC2 ON
If Time > 23:00 Then PC2 OFF
If Sun 000/000 Then LV1 ON
If Sun 000/000 Then LV2 ON
If Time > 12:00 Then LH1 ON
If Time > 16:00 Then LH1 OFF

I would appreciate any help, thanks, this is still a work in progress...plus I ran out of ports, need to purchase an other dc8.
PS how do I check the status of a manual controled device on line?

Should be working according to your program. Try restarting the AC3 and see if that clears it up. If you haven't checked to make sure the device isn't in manual, do so.

You can check your status online by typing in the address you have assigned for your AC3. It should be set to be part of your local area network (based on your router).

You can also check the status on the device if you can't get to it from the web, just go to Manual control, then scroll through to that device and make sure it shows Auto. (or you can look at the icons on the screen and make sure it isn't M or m to indicate manual on/off respectively).

ciphros Thanks...I tried restarting the unit, did not help, and the device is in automatic. Sorry I phrased my statment wrong, I can go on line and check the status of the equipment, but I noticed only the equipment in automatic mode is displayed under status, not the manual equipment. My return pump is probally the most critical piece of equipment on the tank would be nice to see on the web page if it ever crokes....

B ut on a postive note I saw that linksys makes an wireless video cam for the net....that would be able to let me know what my sump level is and to view the tanks when I am on travel..

Ill try erasing the code and retyping it tomorrow to see if that fixes the light that wont turn off on time.

Try turning it on and off manually and see if the outlet is responding. If not, you may have a bad outlet on your DC.

By asking about Manual equipment, is it still plugged into the DC, and just told to be on all the time by the AC3? If it isn't called out in the program (listed as a timer and have a line of code telling it to be on), it won't show. You should be able to see anything that is programmed into the AC3 via the status page on the web.
