Hey all,
I posted about this months ago and I thought It was working until recently. I have( 5) 400w Metal Halides and 4 500w Heaters. To have them all on two Energy bars (two circuits)I need to make sure the lights and the heaters don't run at the same time. I was told to program it like this:
Fallback OFF
If Tmp < 77.0 Then ON
If Tmp > 78.0 Then OFF
If Output Halide1 = ON Then OFF
If Output Halide1 = OFF Then ON
If Output Halide2 = ON Then OFF
If Output Halide2 = OFF Then ON
If Output Halide3 = ON Then OFF
If Output Halide3 = OFF Then ON
If Output Halide4 = ON Then OFF
If Output Halide4 = OFF Then ON
If Output Halide5 = ON Then OFF
If Output Halide5 = OFF Then ON
But this runs the heaters ALL the time when the Halides are off. So my tank has slowly creeped up to 81 deg.
Any suggestions? I've not done much programing since college 20 years ago.
