Aquacontroller Jr. - Group Buy

[Falco]

Pierce, would it be accurate to say that each appliance must be plugged into its own outlet, not a powerstrip? Or can I have the 6 individual outlets on a powerstrip controlled also?

As long as the total draw from the powerstrip does not exceed the 6amp limit per outlet you should be fine.

So if you wanted to have a powerstrip with 2 heaters on it plugged into a single outlet of the DC8 then the AC Jr would turn the strip on intead of a single heater plugged directly into the DC8.

argh this freggin sucks. my chiller is 7.2 amps loading. So i think i might have to make a relay to turn the chiller on.

So what you're saying is that you can't control the individual outlets on a powerstrip. You can only control the strip itself as one appliance. If so, that sucks. I don't know of many people that have 6 or 8 individual outlets at their tank. :irked:

Sorry if I confused you, here is how it works:

The DC8 gets plugged into a single wall outlet. The AC Jr connects to the DC8 via a telephone cord. You plug in your equipment into the 8 plugs on the DC8. The AC Jr controls each of the 8 plugs on the DC8. Now if you have say 2 heaters that you want to go on and off at the same time instead of controlling 2 outlets on the DC8 you can plug a normal powerstrip into a single DC8 outlet and then both heaters into the powerstrip. This way you can control the heaters on a single outlet instead of using up 2.

I'd hate to ruin the gb you already have going, but...I think you guys will be very interested in this:

Thanks for your first post CANano. The link you just posted says they are getting the same DC8, backlit, serial port, temp probe and DC8 for a package price of $249.95 (their stock # C-ACJRDC8).

Doesn't seem like such a bargain. But thanks anyway.

Welcome to MR CANano!

We're getting a price of under that if we hit 10 people. and we're gettting free shipping.

If we order from that site we pay shipping from cali. Not cheap on 10 units.

[CANano]

Thanks for the welcome...I'm glad to be here.

Anyway, I believe the price is AC jr + DC8 + Temp + Stnd PH + Serial + Backlight for 254.95. Without Stnd PH, price is 36 cheaper.

In any case, if you have the better deal going, you should try to get some RC people into your gb. They already have the required number for their discount. You'll probably be able to hit your 10 ppl requirement by getting some people over here. Looks like there's a lot of interest.

Hope I was of some help.

CA,

This is pretty much a local group buy among friends.

 

[opie]

I'll give you the fee in person when I pick up. Thanks!

 

[bad coffee]

Guys, if you're still interested, please paypal me so I can order these soon!

[spykes]

[bad coffee]

I might be interested if you can get enough people for the 10% off.
