Calling all ACjr users.

I'm having a problem with my feed cycle. It won't shut my pumps down when I'm asking it to.

I have this for the program.

If feedA 005 then Pmp 1 off
If feedA 005 then pmp 2 off

but niether pump is turning off. What am I doing wrong here?

I can't remember what the command is exactly, but I'm pretty sure it's different then that...If no one else chimes in, I will post mine when i get home from work.

I thought the AC wanted the pump designations to be PM1 and PM2

You have 2 problems here.

1. Timer names are 3 characters, So there can't be a PMP1 and PMP2. What did you call them in timers names. Mine are PM1 and PM2

2. You are telling the AC jr here that you want the PMP 1 and 2 to stay off 5 minutes after the feed cycle is over. The amount of time to stay off isn't specified here, it is a single fixed time (defaults to five minutes which can be changed in other places). I want my pumps off while feeding, then 1 back on when its done and the 2nd one five minutes later, so here is my code

If feedA 000 then PM1 OFF
If feedA 005 then PM2 OFF

You're right, it is PM1 and PM2 .. it doesn't even fit what I wrote.

Change 0005 to 000

Thanks I'll give this a try.

Thanks for the fast responses guys.
 
My power heads would not go off at all until I used an extention cord on them. Something about the voltage being too low.
