Jecord Dosing Pump - Not Dosing

[Mark Taber]

Hi,

I brought a Jecord DP-2 dosing pump and set it up as follows but I am not convinced it is dosing on all the times I have set. I have not witnessed all the times as I cannot be around at every dosing time. I have adjust the 2nd dosing to the time when I was there but it never did anything. The only time I have been there to see it work is 21:00. Am I doing something wrong and/or is it missing certain times?

Pump 1
Pn Times Dosing (dosing per day) = 4
Pn Interval Days = 1
Pn Dosing Volume - 1 - 4 = 1ml
Pn Dosing Time 1 = 9:00
Pn Dosing Time 2 = 13:00
Pn Dosing Time 3 = 17:00
Pn Dosing Time 4 = 21:00

I just powered it off and back on again, set Pn Dosing Time 2 to 1 minute time and when it hit the time, it worked. That is worrying as a hard reset kicked it back into life but how do I know this wont happen again. Anyone else seen this problem where the time on the panel is ticking along but the dosing times stop working? Just to confirm, I do need to set "Pn Interval Days" to 1 and not 0 to ensure it doses every day?

OK, the issue is not time elated as I have just waited for the 4th dosing ro work and nothing happened (Pn Dosing Time 4 = 21:00). Just reset the power again so I guess it may work again. Do these things have a firmware update as there is another port on the back and I am wondering now if this is a firmware fault?

I guess no one has seen this issue. I eventually got my money back and they said keep the unit as it was too much to send back. Anyone know how to do a complete reset to wipe out the memory as I would like to do something with this unit?

The interval dosing should be set to zero if you plan to dose every day. When you adjust the dosages you need to unplug and plug it back in for the new settings to take affect.

I'm having the same issue! I just figured it was junk

For both if you, are you losing programming what the unit is unplugged?

Like most all electronics there's a battery on the circuit board.
Mine does no lose the program when un plugged.

No power loss and programming is all good. It's just not dosing

 

[Mark Taber]

The instructions reads for Interval Day "0 means no dosing, 1 means every day, 2 every second day etc.". I have just set the Interval to 0 to see what happens. It would be logical for this to be the problem so maybe the instructions are incorrect.

All the settings are saved if I power off and back on again so I know the battery is OK.

Many thanks for the responses.

I use 2 of the DP4's and zero is what i set for interval days to dose calc/alk 4 times daily

Theres a fee youtube vids on programming out there as well.

Still stops working after 24 hours so it must be a bug in the firmware. Trying to contact the manufacturer in China to see if they have had other reports of this or maybe it is just a bad unit.

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

yea thats just got to be a bad unit.

 

[Mark Taber]

Will report back if I hear back from them.
