Help with AC Jr.

[MarineGirl411]

I feel very stupid, but I don't understand how to set this thing up. I got it used with a PH probe and temp probe. I want it to control my heater, but how do I do that? I plugged the heater into the first outlet and set my temp for 77.5. I don't believe I did this correctly. The directions are really confusing to me. Please help. TY I would like to eventually set up my lights, pumps, etc on this too. I feel so dumb. =(

You need to control by setting up the language. For heat it would be something like the following, assuming your heater is plugged into the 1st plug:

if temp is < 78.5 then A01 on
if temp is > 78.5 then A01 off

It would be similar with lights, if plugged into number 2:
If time is XX:XX then A02 on
If time is XX:XX then A02 off
If temp > 85 then A02 off

You would get more detailed help in the Neptune forum.

Do you have the serial port for it? If so, you can use your PC and its less painful. The programming language is a bit overwhelming at first, but it really is very easy once you get the basics down.
