Anyone who uses ACIII by chance know how to program it so that the lights is not on for certain day of the week or program it to be on for x number hours on one day and another x number of hours on another day?

James,

 

If you don't get an answer here, there's an active Neptune support forum on RC.

Post what you find out, James. I'd be interested in knowing what they say.

 

 

I found out that the AC3 doesn't have feature with date setting on it. The new Apex controller does.

I thouhg there was a seasonal table for day/night light cycle and temp but do not use it. If I remember it was a biult in command that read a table, if so you could modify the file it reads to what you want.

Just checked and that appears to be correct. I believe on the JR you only have the 1st of the month and it calculates the rest, but on the III it is broken down by the day. Looks like it should work.

The problem with the seasonal table option is that when you set the command up it applies it to every day of the table. I do not think the chart is changable.

 

If Sun 000/000 Then LT1 ON -- Follows the sunrise/sunset on the table.

If Sun 060/-045 Then LT2 ON -- LT 2 is on 60min after the tables sunrise and shuts off 45min before the tables sunset.

 

Using the seasonal table does not allow for example the light to come on during the week from noon to 9pm and then have the weekends come on at 10am to 7pm.

Understood, but here is a small portion of my season table:

 

Jan 01 07:33/18:51 13:29/01:29 02 76.0

Jan 02 07:33/18:51 14:18/02:18 04 76.0

Jan 03 07:33/18:52 15:07/03:07 05 76.0

Jan 04 07:33/18:52 15:56/03:56 06 76.0

Jan 05 07:33/18:53 16:44/04:44 07 75.9

Jan 06 07:33/18:53 17:33/05:33 09 75.9

Jan 07 07:33/18:54 18:22/06:22 10 75.9

Jan 08 07:33/18:54 19:11/07:11 11 75.8

Jan 09 07:34/18:55 20:00/08:00 12 75.8

Jan 10 07:34/18:55 20:48/08:48 14 75.8

Jan 11 07:34/18:56 21:37/09:37 12 75.7

Jan 12 07:34/18:56 22:26/10:26 11 75.7

Jan 13 07:34/18:57 23:15/11:15 10 75.7

Jan 14 07:34/18:57 00:04/12:04 09 75.6

Jan 15 07:34/18:58 00:52/12:52 07 75.6

Jan 16 07:34/18:58 01:41/13:41 06 75.6

Jan 17 07:35/18:59 02:30/14:30 05 75.5

Jan 18 07:35/18:59 03:19/15:19 04 75.5

 

The first two numbers after the date are sunrise sunset. Why can't i make the sunrise for the 18th 2-3 hours different than the 16th?

The season table can be changed, I am just not sure to what extent. It can't be done through the network connection, it must be done in aquanotes ifI remeber correctly.

 

Are you able to change yours?
