Step 1
:
Define the timers
that we need the ReefKeeper to follow. As per our example, the settings
would be as follows:
Select Timer 1
Days of Week
– SMTWTFS *we want to dose every day.
Start Time
: Enter the beginning of the photoperiod. In our example, 11AM.
On Duration
: Enter the “on” interval. In our example, 5 minutes.
Off Duration:
Enter the “off” interval. In our example, 30 minutes.
Repeat Count:
This is the number of times the timer is to alternate between on & off before
stopping. Important: if set to zero, the timer will operate only once. If set to one, it will repeat
one time, for a total of two operations etc. In our example, set this to 9. (as in, it will repeat 9
times after the first time it runs)
Oscillate:
Off (If oscillate is turned on the timer will alternate between the on & off time
indefinitely, ignoring the other settings – we definitely don’t want that for 2 part application!)
Random: No (
If random is turned on the Reefkeeper will treat the On duration and Off duration
as maximum times, and randomize a time equal to or below that – we definitely don’t want
that.)
Save
Repeat this process for our second timer (Part A). Remember, it is not exactly the same timer
because it will run when lights are out, which is a different time of the day:
