Hello NEED HELP setting up my apex to automatic feeder and DOS

[jordimex]

i believe we are trying to go two different routes over here :s

 

[leepink23]

Where it says control type hit that and it should say feeder.. Do that first and then give a screen shot...

I programmed mine the way I wrote it, works great since it's a virtual outlet, he will need to select feeder on his actual feeder not necessarily the virtual outlet.

 

[jordimex]

i show two pumps pump_2_4 and pump_2_6 you guys know the reason for this?
this is how my pump set up looks

what should i write there @leepink23

 

[tkiry1]

also quick question why does it show so many modules?
I only have de dosing pumps
the DDR
my skimmer
my return pump
gyre
Atk
and Auto feeder

Where it says feeder, go to settings, program the times.. I have mine spit out Pellets at 10 am and then 2 more times.. Once yiur done update and turn to auto...

This is your outlet for on the eb832, what is programmed here? This would not be your feeder

For the auto feeder.. The little gear icon hit that and that gives you the programming... Then u need to update it to the cloud... Then go back to your dashboard and set feeder to auto...

@tkiry1 is this what you mean?

This is your feeder outlet, which you want to program like the one I just posted, then your feeder will come on at 1030 and 1900, if you program your virtual outlet the way i showed you it will come on at 1029 and off at 1035 on at 1859 and off at 1905. Then next your outlets for your return pump, powerheads and skimmer will need to be programmed.

 

[jordimex]

Got it i think

Rename it return pump, will make it easier to identify for you.

So the feeder is configured according to your picture
so to turn of the return pump, powerhead, and skimmer i have to program how you showed me?

 

[leepink23]

Yeap, next I will screen shot what he is referring to set to auto, that way it will only cut on at the right times programmed.

 

[leepink23]

Feeder 6_1 and Auto_feed for me would need to be set to auto here, I have mine off, you will need to set yours to auto

Yes now you need to go to your return pump and program this:
If output Auto feeder on then off.

Did you program the virtual outlet the with the times I showed?

 

[jordimex]

Here is what i have

 

[leepink23]

So here is what i have

So now go to the outlet for your return pump and add this:
If output auto_feed on then off

This will cut your return pump off during those times because the virtual outlet will be on. This will allow the pumps to go off for 1 minuted before feeding and stay off for 5 minutes after.

Once you do that then we need to program your skimmer and power heads.
