I want to buy an Alternate Gyre Mode Modified Cable for my IceCap Gyre Interface Module from you but I will be in NY and it would be nice to buy it while I am there and talk to you about it.

I'll you be there?

I looked at the video on changing the direction of the Gyre via an Icecap 0-10V controller and Apex, several times. Though the explanation was good I could not be sure of how I would do what I want to do.

I have a setup the was required to get my Apex COR20 to ramp up from Off to 10 through 100% and then back down again and Off. For that reason I piggyback on that code to get my Gyre to run in concert with the COR (please see below).

Now I want to add a Reverse period to the end of this convoluted code while the COR rests.

I have a series of Virtual Outputs like “Step20_Up” that say:
Set OFF
If Output Step20_up = ON Then ON
Defer 000:08 Then ON
Then I have an Output Device called COR and another called Gyre with similar code. This is the Gyre Code
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Output Step10_Up = ON Then 20
If Output Step20_Up = ON Then 35
If Output Step40_Up = ON Then 50
If Output Step80_Up = ON Then 80
If Output Step100_ON = ON Then NO
If Output Step80_Dn = ON Then 80
If Output Step40_Dn = ON Then 50
If Output Step20_Up = ON Then 35
If Output Step10_Up = ON Then 20
At this point, I want to call something like “Reverse”
Defer 000:30 Then ON

I saw how to define an osculating flow but I’m not sure what to put in for on constant reverse flow.
What should I do?

Here is a video on how to program the pump to run in reverse. You will need additional hardware for that as well which is also covered on the video...

The video that I refer to above is the second one in the series. If suggested that I buy the cable which I did a few minutes ago. I also watched the first one. The third one that you linked to, talks about the equipment.
Do you know how to program for a constant reverse flow as a opposed to alternating flow that was explained in video 2?

If you are running the pump in reverse, you need the Alternating Gyre video. Regardless of running it in contact speed or pulsing, you are still running it in reverse so you need to program it the same way as you would alternating gyre mode. The only difference is that instead of pulsing, you would just run it in constant speed. You still need the Y-Cable and then two Variable Speed Outputs on the Apex. One output tells the pump how fast to run and the other output tells the pump which direction to run.

Not the “Y” that comes with the pump. You mean the IC-GIM-AGMCBL Alternate Gyre Mode Modified Cable for IceCap Gyre Interface Module, Correct?
Ok so as for the setting up a constant speed, would that be?:
Initial Off Time 0
On Time 30
Off Time 0
Minimum Intensity 0
Maximum Intensity 100

I am sorry. Yes, you need the Single End cable and not the Y one. In terms of constant speed, both Min and Max should be the same. Both ON and OFF should be the same.

OK thank you
