AC III feed timer question

[firebirdcrzy]

I have set the ACIII feed timer A to turn off some power heads while feeding fish. I set feed timer B to turn off skimmer for a few hours when doseing phyto, oyster feast. My problem is when the timer is done it will not turn the device back on. Am I missing a command so the ACIII will turn the device back on after feeding?

You need to have something like this to turn an outlet on (if you have no other commands to do so):

If Time > 00:00 Then SKM ON

Thanks, that will work for turning the skimmer on. The powerheads are also set to come on at the same time when lights on and off when lights off. When I feed the fish lights are on so sence the command for powerheads is to be on at that time shouldn't they start back up after feed is over?

Yes, they will start after the feed cycle completes. In the Feed statement there is a value; this is time after feed cycle completes to keep the device off (usually this is 000); I'm guesing you have it higher?

I knew there was a timer for how long you want the device off during feed. I have feed set for 240sec. or 4 min. Did not know there was a timer for how long the device stays off after feed has completed. I guess I will have to go back in and recheck my settings for feed time and see what things are set for. Thank you again for your help, I am still new to the AC and slowly figureing it out.

To clarify, you will set the feed time in the setup menu, but your statements in your PROGRAM should have the 000 Ken mentions if you want them to start as soon as the feed cycle completes.
