Ok I hate the instructions on this piece of equipment. I bought a beautiful full 65 gallon system and it came with the Reef Keeper Lite. It is hooked up and functioning here is how it works.

Plug 3 is my lights

Plug 4 is my fans

Here is my question I need to change the times on when the lights come on and off and then i need to make sure my fans kick on at 79degreese. I cannont find where or how to change the time that the lights come on and off please help!!!
 
Is your lights on the PC4 or an ALC(automatic light controller). ALC is usually used for LEDs. If not, go to modules, PC4, ch3 and see what is controlling the lights(function or timer). If it is timer, check what timer # it is on. If you have a timer #(1,2, or 3 so on) go back to modules and go to the last option which is timer and adjust accordingly to the timer #.
If it is on a light function on the PC4 ch3 then adjust the times within that function.
Hope this helps
 
Usually if its setup as a light timer it will come up start time and end time.it is pretty basic. I'll have to look at f it to refresh my memory.
 
Best thing to do is go to digital aquatics and sign into the forum. They have step by step instructions on how to set the temp and lighting control. Makes it far easier to see their examples. Also they have new software that allows it to be hooked up to a pc now.

new software downloadable to earlier versions?
 
you have to create an alarm condition, simple programming. program the alarm condition, then on your lighting circuit which is on plug 3, assign that alarm condition, now when your temp crosses the threshold it will turn your lights off until the condition is below again.
 
If you dont dimmable lights, when you go into the menu go to modules, then scroll to your pc4, then go to channel 3, and change it to "lights(other)" and then it will ask you for an on time and an off time. As for the fan/temp issue that much I cant help you with, but it does sound like a cool idea. Let us know how it works when you figure it out.
