Totally confused on how to set-up my DC8 with the ACJr....

I would hook it up to be device A and 1-8 making your addressable outlets A01 thru A08. For that configuration, all switches would be set to the "Off" position (only switches 1 - 3 matter, switch 4 is unused). I agree, their users guide really does suck. Here's the guide specifically for the DC8 that mentions the switch position and which outlet is which. I think the diagrams are helpful. http://www.neptunesys.com/images/do...%201.2.pdf. Your control cord should be connected to the Control In and back to the Control outlet on the ACJr. The specific things that you're wanting to do are covered in the AC3 Programming Guide that I've been working on here: http://www.greateriowareefsociety.o...fault.aspx. For what you're wanting to do with your actinics and your fan, you would do something like this:

Timer Name
ACT%-A01
FAN%-A02

Program Statements
If Time > 08:00 Then ACT ON
If Time > 12:00 Then ACT OFF
If Time > 15:00 Then ACT ON
If Time > 22:00 Then ACT OFF
If Temp < 79.9 Then FAN OFF
If Temp = 79.9 Then FAN OFF
If Temp > 80.0 Then FAN ON

Of course, you will need to adjust times and temps to your preferences, but that should give you the general idea. I hope this helps.
