TimedPort

[Jim_J]

Hi!

Can someone tell me how to use the timedport function?
I have a wp25 thats not working properly without have to pull the power every 5 minutes, so i want to do a temporary fix with something like the timedport function until i get my new pumps.

Thanks

The reason that you have to pull the power every 5 min is probably because the WP25 is going below the minimum speed.

I found the the WP-25 has a lower speed limit of 30% while the WP-40 has a limit of 30%.

What is the lowest that the pump is going?

Try adjusting the speed settings so that it doesn't go below 30%.

Thanks for your help, but thats not the issue. I run the pump on ntm 90,10.
I think that the pump just reached its lifespan

What i really need is a function thats toggle relay 8 on for 5 minutes, then turns it off, and then on 5 minutes again and repeat.

Thanks, Jim

This will turn it off for about 5 seconds every 5 minutes. Works best with Port5 and Port6. Goes in the loop.

Code: Select all

if (now()%300 < 5) ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Port5);
else ReefAngel.Relay.On(Port5);

Relays 5 and 6 have additional circuitry to handle the constant switching of pumps on and off. Port8 will work, but I wouldn't use it permanently.
