Apex and power heads... trouble...

[BestMomEver]

I am trying to get my new tank in line and am having trouble with my power heads. If I have them on auto, they turn off. I can only get them to run if I have the slider in the on position. This is what my setup looks like....

What am I doing wrong?

I'm confused, there are only 24 hours in a day, how were you able to set a time for 24:59?

That might be a problem....;Dead;Dead

Nope... didn’t fix it.

Anyone?

Just make it an on/off outlet and make it always on

Can you post what the actual outlet code looks like - I'm old school and don't use the wizards.

The control type "Power Head" is used to turn on non controllable pumps OFF/ON to make a wave pattern. This control type is OSC programming and you are telling the MP40 to be on one minute every 24-25 minutes depending if you changed the programming to 23:59 and this repeats over and over again.

The Vortech power supplies should not be connected to the Apex energy bar, however if you choose to keep them there change the control type to "Always On"
All the controlling of the pump ON and OFF and what mode it is running should all be done through the Vortech output that gets created when a pump is connected to the WXM module.
