Need help programming ALC for reefkeeper lite
So, I just got some LED's and now it's time to program some sunrise action. But I'm having some problems. In the PC4 module menu on the head unit, I choose the outlet of the blues, and program it so it's linked to timer 4 which turns on at 11am and has a ramp of 30 minutes. But as soon as I hit save, it immediately turns on. Any idea what i'm doing wrong? My firmware is completely updated.

Get. Multimeter and let me know what the ALC puts out...

Well, the ALC works perfectly fine when it comes to fine tuning the colors. But the LED's are plugged directly into the PC4 and has no problem coming on. It's just, I think i'm doing something wrong when it comes to actually programming the unit.
