Default Timing of dosing.

I remember reading that the doser will spread out all of the doses as much as possible, however I cant find this now. I just started dosing, and will be dosing Ca, Mg and Alkalinity, but I dont want them to be dosed at the same time. If this is not done automatically, is there a way around this besides operating the pumps as sockets and putting them on timers?

Once you program the doser to dose the amount you want and how many times per day it spreads it out over the whole day and only pump goes at a time. I just one up 2 weeks ago and was wondering the same thing.

Yes this is correct.

You have two options

1. Auto, this will as explained above seperate the dosing across a 24 hour period to stop any over lap.

2. Manual, In this mode you set the time of day you wish the dose to take place.

I am having a few problems with L1/L2, L3/L4. I had my Dimmable ballast and Tunze split on one port, this resulted in my ballast 'jumping' outputs along with the tunze, it would still dim and turn off correctly. I tried to put my LED bars together with the tunze on a splitter, but when I program them the LED bars take up two ports in the programing (one for blue lights, one for red).

Is this a hardware problem? How can this be resolved

Hi

I am not sure what you mean by "jump outputs" but you can not run Tunze and LED on the same port pair.

It is also advisable to keep dimmable lighting on a seperate port as depending on how you have wired it the ballast can use both ports.

So even though I only have three devices I can only run two devices on four ports?

By jumping I mean this: The dimmable ballast runs correctly when it is on L1/L2 by itselft, but when I split the port using a splitter and put a tunze on the other port, the ballast changes outputs with the tunze, but still switches on and off correctly.

Dimmable ballasts will use two ports as they are dual mode and can be dimmed independantly, however you can wire them together.

LED sticks and spots use two ports as they are dual channel.

Tunze use one port each.

Do not mix and match tunze with dimmable always have running on sperate ports i.e dimmable on L1L2 and Tunze on L3L4

if you are out of ports you can use the PLM-4L card.
