    Merry Christmas!


    I have a new EB8 and have been setting it up and I have a (probably some/DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/smile.gif) programming question(s). First question is:


    What do you have for your Fallback and Set (on/off) with your ATO? Do you have any other programming with it? If yes, what?

    Here's the second question: I have a "ghost EB8" that shows up on the status page but it does not show up on the Module Setup ...at least I don't see it. It shows my 4 EB8's, the Display and the PM1. How do I get rid of the 'ghost"?

    I'm not sure how you have your ATO set up, but here is the programming for mine. It consists of a BRS 50mL/minute dosing pump and a float switch in the sump.

    Fallback OFF
    Set OFF
    OSC 000:00/010:00/050:00 Then ON
    If Switch1 OPEN Then OFF
    Defer 000:20 Then ON

    Not sure on the "ghost" EB8

    I have the Tunze Osmolator David. I have both the Fallback and Set ON. I was just hoping that I wouldn't have those set wrong to where , if for any reason, if the pump stayed ON that it wouldn't dump all the topoff water into the sump. Looks like I need to change both of those to OFF?

    It's crazy about the ghost EB8 :0( I tried everything 3 times to get it to delete it but no luck...that's just my luck, too /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/sad.gif It's a new EB8 so I imagine Neptune put the programming in it for testing?! Looks like I need to call them......

    Tanks David! ;0)

    Just remember that the statement "Fall Back" means if the base can't communicate with outlet it will go to fall back state. The "Set" state is what the starts of the out let is. Set On means out let starts on.

    The tunze Osmolator is a standalone ATO, why are you running it off the APEX?


    If you change both the FALLBACK and SET to OFF the thing will never run unless you have some more programming in there that turns the outlet back ON under certain circumstances.
