I just installed the wxm to my apex and I'm really having a problem with the command setup. It keeps giving me an error message.
Could someone help me out with this please as I'm not that savvy when it comes to programming.
Thank you very much,
Danny

here is what the program looked like:


Set ON
Fallback ON
If Time 12:30 to 14:00 Then ReefCrst
If Time 14:00 to 15:30 Then Lagoon
If Time 15:30 to 17:00 Then TidalSwl
If Time 17:00 to 17:30 Then Nutrient
If Time 17:30 to 19:00 Then ReefCrst
If Time 19:00 to 20:45 Then Lagoon
If Time 20:45 to 12:30 Then Night
If FeedA 000 Then Slow
If FeedD 000 Then OFF

The error comes up on lines 3,5 & 7.
I'm not sure why its doing that.
In the profile setup I added all these modes and also a sync and anti-sync, I am trying to control 2 mp10's and one mp40. The software is 2.3 on all the pumps I think.

Hi, What kind of issues are your having? Will need more information if this is an error with the module or programming. Also the Neptune forum is great for support and you can also call them as well and they will assist.
Is the module recognized (solid green light)? Is the module firmware up-to-date? Are you attaching Vortechs pumps or Radion lights, or both?

Sorry, I missed your post with the details. What is the exact error? As previous post mentioned, those profiles have to be created/named correctly as well. Try to change the end/start time for those lines so they don't overlap.

If you are planning to run all pumps in the same mode, then the easiest thing to do is program one and then set the others as sync.
Please note that if you truly want to take advantage of the Ecotech/Ecosmart modes, then you should setup at least one pump on the opposite side and run anti-sync.

ok so I need to set the profiles first correct?
Then I need to add the outlet program to each vortech correct?

Correct.
First set the profiles (type and %) and also rename them to whatever name you will use in the programming. You don't have to rename them, but its a lot easier than trying to figure out that PF1 means ReefCrest at 75%...
Then use those profile names to program the vortech outlet to do what you want.

For example your main Vortech could be something like this...
Code:
Set Lagoon
If Time 08:00 to 10:00 Then RfCrst
If Time 12:00 to 14:00 Then TdSwl
If Time 16:00 to 20:00 Then Nutrient

And your second vortech could be
Code:
Set Sync (or Anti-Sync)
If Time 08:00 to 10:00 Then Sync
If Time 12:00 to 14:00 Then Anti-Sync
If Time 16:00 to 20:00 Then Anti-Sync

Set Lagoon
If Time 08:00 to 10:00 Then RfCrst
If Time 12:00 to 14:00 Then TdSwl
If Time 16:00 to 20:00 Then Nutrient


so at what setting does the pump run at between 10:00 and 12:00?
why the time diff?
