Reefkeeper Elite multiple timer settings

[Owen Edwards]

Is there anyone that could help me setup a schedule on the reefkeeper elite for dosing

I just did this, first go into timer 1 if you want it set for 5 minutes then on time is 00:5:00 and off is 00:55:00. set the days MTWTFSS. I use repeat 24 to dose ever hour. Oscillate yes. random no. Then go and set number 2 timer same way. After that go to modules and set it to multi timer and then choose the timer 1 or 2 . leave the other settings as they are and save. Use only the relay sockets for doser number one and two. Hope this helps, might of left something out, as i'm using memory;-)

I have the lite, but i think its the same for both. ?

So if I split the dosing for 6 times per day would I put 6 in repeat

I assume It would just devide it over 24 hr cycle.

Ok

For some reason the pump keep on running

If it is set to oscillate it will ignor the clock and start right away.

So should I just put no for the oscillate

I think that would work also. I found a few good utube videos you can search there also.

Watch using low power pumps. They may not completely turn off due to back EMF triggering the triac back on. Use a surge protector on the outlet with you pump. Choose one with a 330v clamping voltage. If you have PB4's no issue but if you are using PC4's this can happen.

Now that we have your attention, any timeline on the windows 10 drivers yet? To be perfectly honest, most of us hate being a pest, so that's why I'm asking while you may be available.

I don't have any update on a myReef update. I am a beta tester and a Team DA member, but I don't work for the company. Eric did mention that they were working on it. If I find out anything I can post it.

Many thanks. [emoji108]

your proble is that the repeat is the number of times you want it to run minus 1. ie, 6 times a day has a repeat of 5.....24 times repeat = 23

If your first activation is 0-1 then you would need to set for 24 to dose every hour.
