What I'm trying to do is in a power outage have only my right wav turn on pulse mode at 1%.
I have my EB832 on a ups and all other outlets shut off. I also have the head unit plugged in to a 12 volt so it will detect the outage.
This is what I have ;
First shot is the wav, second is a virtual outlet, and the last is a profile for the wav.
How do I put all this together?
Or maybe I'm doing all this wrong?
I went thru power consumption and other tutorials couldn't find anything to do with this.
Thanks

Should it be
If output power_outage = on then power_fail on
?
No. As noted in my article I linked above, the proper syntax for the If Output command is:

If Output Output_Name = [ON/OFF] Then [ON/OFF/Profile_Name/%]

In other words, after the "Then" portion of the command, you can only specify one of these options:
  • ON
  • OFF
  • A Profile name
  • A percentage value
Just use the exact wording I provided in my previous reply:

If Output Power_outage = ON Then Power_fail
 
Hmmm, still can't get it to work...

After making a profile for the wav am I suppose to do something with it? Like activate it somehow?
I'm confused.
 
I had to do it this way too get anything to accept when power goes out. It's not a pulse as I wanted but it is something.
