I'm individually dosing in GCC and my doser is capping times on doses to 8? Is there a way I could fix it so I could have infinite dosing times if I wanted?

Are you sure it is limiting it to a maximum of 8 doses or are you trying to set a number that it doesn't like? I'm sure I've had more than 8 doses per day. Also, how much do you want to dose per day?

i want to go from 12 am to 12pm but it caps to where i cant input anymore after 7pm(being the 8th input) for example

I just checked the manual and apparently 8 is the maximum number of manual doses that can be set. I've no idea why.

dang that sucks! Thank you for checking aswell. What could i do? because im fine with anything as long as my Alk doses between 12 am to 12 pm as to not mess with the Ph

I am still testing need to wait 24 hours to see the ML results inside my container. I am testing this right now for you on a P4 connected to a spare doser head. So far looks like it is working.


First we need two Timers

Timer: 1 ( This is your dosing schedule. With a understanding your only going to be doing it 1/2 of this time. (I know should have included Friday :))

Timer: 2 (Is set up for the times you would dose for)

Advance Program Logic

With the two timers we created above we are going to tied them together with a And Statement

Assign the Program Logic to the Switch Channel:

Find a Free Switch Channel Port and assign the Program logic we created in the step before

Assign that Switch channel your Doser Port:

With the Switch Channel now programmed we now assign that to your doser.

I can also show how to do this is GHL Connect App also if you would like, I just knew you were using the desktop application in your other posts :)

The above would dose only when both timers are on :)

EDIT: Nevermind i did the second timer but the first timer the switch mode is blanked out aside from normal and event start... how do i unlock the other modes?

Ok, let me try this with my Maxi which is set to master in my ATO station, and see if I can do the same type of setup without the P4.

Sorry, can not do the same logic on a Stand Alone. Just looked and we are restricted to 8, and can not tied timers together with advance program logic. :(.

So i would need a profilux 4 to do that then?

For what I did above yes, Or could you spread out to 1.5 hours apart to stay within the 8 for the 12 hour period of time?

If your dose between those times 12:00am 1:30am, 3:00am, 4:30am, 6:00am, 7:30am, 10:00am, 11:30am

We could shift 15 minutes also either would work. :)

12:15am, 1:45am, 3:15am., 4:45am, 6:15am, 7:45an, 10:15am, 11:45am will also work
