    Default Delay to start the skimmer after maitenance

    Hi all,

    I have a question regarding an start delay for my skimmer when I am done with maitenance 1 or whatever.

    As example:

    When I do my weekly waterchange and start up the system my skimmer will overskim. I like to have after my maitenance 1-4 that the skimmer start 3 min later.
    Is this possible and how can I do this My skimmer is connected to the profi bar 6pab and my profilux is a 3EX.

    BR

    Michel

    I treied something

    Socket S5 is where the skimmer is connected.
    I made a program logic as attached thumbnail.

    Now I activate G2 on S5 but when I switch the socket of or with a maitenance 1 it dont delay but start straight away.
    What do I do wrong?

    Just use delay function on that socket you have the skimmer connected to

    Maybe I misunderstood but the delay on the socket only works when theire is a complete power off on the Profilux. Not when you switch the socket off with a maintenance and start again.

    You are right. I misunderstood you.
    I think using programmable logic can achieve what you are looking for.
    But I am NOT very good with the P3 programmable logic menu. Let's hope the gurus can chime in.

    Has someone an answer for this setup of an skimmer delay... Not by full power off on the Profilux but on an maintenance switch.
