Aquacontroller Program

[bconn]

Anyone willing to share their current AC program statements? Appreciate any response in advance as it will be very beneficial to see what others have done. Any best practices or suggestions from those more experienced running this device in their setups?

Getting ready to start planning out the program while we wait for the dust to settle over here....

Thanks in advance.

What are you trying to program it to do. I use the basic program and just change the times and temps.

RT stands for the Seasonal Temperation table in the controller. I have modified it so in the Winter months the tank temps are aroun 79 and in the summer months its 81, this allows for a low increase over a few months and the inhabitants don't realize the change.

Mine's pretty simple.

SKM%-A1


If Temp > 81.0 Then COL ON
If Temp < 80.1 Then COL OFF
If Temp > 80.0 Then HET OFF
If Temp < 79.5 Then HET ON
If Temp > 80.0 Then HT2 OFF
If Temp < 79.5 Then HT2 ON
If ORP < 375 Then OZN ON
If ORP > 385 Then OZN OFF
If Time > 12:00 Then MH1 ON
If Time > 22:45 Then MH1 OFF
If Temp > 82.5 Then MH1 OFF

tagging along - i will need these program reference some day...
got the AC-Jr for about 6 months, still have no time to open the box yet...

Thaks for the feedback. Anyone have any statements for alets - i.e water sensor, low/high temp, high water level and such?
Really looking to see the various threshold that are set for min/max.

Thanks in advance.

Programming isn't that hard, but order is important as the way the AC series evaluates the statements. Lacking a true programming language "AND" and "OR" statement, you have to get creative, but there are a number of ways to do it.

If you get stuck, there are lots of here that use it, and some of us computer geeks used to be fair programmers back in the day.
