AC Jr Programming help

[arvin]

Hi all,

I need some help with programming the AC Jr. I bought a DC4 and trying to do a daisy chain. The configuration is AC Jr -> DC4 -> DC8. The following are the timer names that I have set up:

FL1$-A1
FF1$-A2
FF2#-A3
TO1#-A4
MH1&-A5
MH2#-A6
FN1#-A7
FN2#-A8
BL1#-A9
PH1#-A10

As per the image below, both halides and the fans should be on. However I see only one MH and both fans are on and the other is off. But the actinic light is on (BL1). What am doing wrong here?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,
Arvind.

Can you post the program you entered?

I haven't completed the program, but this is what I have so far:

If Time > 18:00 Then BL1 ON
If Time > 20:00 Then FN1 ON
If Time > 20:00 Then FN2 ON
If Time > 20:02 Then MH1 ON
If Time > 20:02 Then MH2 ON
If Time > 20:04 Then BL1 OFF
If Time > 22:59 Then BL1 ON
If Time > 23:00 Then MH1 OFF
If Time > 23:00 Then MH2 OFF
If Time > 23:01 Then FN1 OFF
If Time > 23:01 Then FN2 OFF
If Time > 22:00 Then FL1 ON
If Time > 07:00 Then FL1 OFF

You can't extend the A range. A Letter is each devices Use the documentation to set the DC8 to setting of "B". I don't have the manual in front of me for the Dip switches.

This will give you

- DC4
A01
A02
A03
A04
- DC8
B01
B02
B03
B04
B05
B06
B07
B08

Thank you. Can I keep DC8 as A device and change the dip switches in DC4 to B? Will it work, even if the DC4 comes before DC8 in the chain?

It doesnt matter where it is in the chain, it only depends on what the dips are set too.

sw1 sw2
off off A
on off B
off on C
on on D

sw3 DC8
off 1-8
on 9-16

sw4 DC8 unused



sw3 sw4 DC4
off off 1-4
on off 5-8
off on 9-12
on on 13-16

Thanks for taking the pains to post the dip switch settings. I got them working ;D

Glad it worked, we have a lot of people that use the AC series and a number of us who love to toil in the interface. I have had a great time working/replacing the Internal web pages in the AC3 to make work better. There isn't a lot of extra memory in it, but enough to make minor tweaks to the web pages and even add a few small ones.
