temp probe question :)

[cosmith71]

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.StandardHeater( Port1,600,778 );

Means turn on when lower than 60, turn off at 77.8. So you would want your high temp a little higher than that or your heater will be switching on and off all the time.

So something like this:

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.StandardHeater ( Port1,778,782 );

This means come on when the temp is less than 77.8, and turn off when the temp hits 78.2.

Edit: Changed the temps a bit.

thank you for your help, I set it to (Port1,788,788) . The wizard is where I got confused I tried setting the lowest temp so I would turn on when ever it was not 78.8F

You really dont want the parameters equal. Its going to continuously cycle the relay on and off like that.

I would suggest setting the low/on temp to 76 or something and the high you can leave as is.

You want the heater on for a set amount of time to heat the water. You will probably damage your heater and eventually the relay the way you have it...

thank you for the advice I switched it back to 760,778
