Adding additional DC-8 to AC III

Recommended Posts

I snagged another DC-8 and I tried adding it (daisy chaining it) and my AC III doesn't see it. I've got it plugged into the right ports (control out) on the 1st DC 8 and below are my jumper settings on the 2nd DC-8 as well as my program. After all this, the AC III doesn't see the second DC-8. I unplugged it, did a self test, etc.

I swapped out the control (phone) cords between the two and both cords work. Some of the plugs on the second DC8 are on, but some aren't. Either way, the AC III doesn't see the second DC-8. Any ideas?

jumpers on second DC-8:

1 = on

2 = off

3 = on

4 = off

(According to the manual, this should make the second DC-8 bank (cool.gif)

Program: (I haven't added in any statements for bank B yet as I can't get the ACIII to even see it)

If Time > 09:30 Then ACT ON

If Time > 21:30 Then ACT OFF

If Time > 13:30 Then ML1 ON

If Time > 20:00 Then ML1 OFF

If Time > 13:45 Then ML2 ON

If Time > 20:15 Then ML2 OFF

If Timer ML1 = ON Then FN1 ON

If Timer ML2 = ON Then FN1 ON

If Time > 13:30 Then FN1 ON

If Time > 20:15 Then FN1 OFF

If Time > 21:30 Then FL1 ON

If Time > 09:30 Then FL1 OFF

If Temp > 77.6 Then FN2 ON

If Temp = 77.5 Then FN2 OFF

If Temp < 77.5 Then FN2 OFF

If Temp > 81.5 Then ML1 OFF

If Temp > 81.5 Then ML2 OFF

If Temp < 77.3 Then HT1 ON

If Temp = 77.3 Then HT1 ON

If Temp > 77.3 Then HT1 OFF

OSC 001/001 ON/OFF Then PM1 ON

I figured it out. Not only do you have to setup the new DC-8 as all new timers (give them names), you have to give it SOME kind of command, even if it is for it to always stay on.

One must remember I failed programming 101 twice in college...

LOL...

Did you get a good deal on the 2nd DC8? I was thinking of getting another one too.

PM the info.. ^_^
