8fg Smoke Pump Programing
ok i am trying to set up my smoke pump on my 8fg I am trying to do a programable mix so when a switch is on the smoke pump will enage when the throttle is at a certian position
so the only problem i am having is no matter which way I set up my three Postion switch all the way up is allways off and then the middle is on and even if i set the bottom to off if i switch it to the bottom it still engages the pump at a low speed what could be causeing this any help will help here this is my first smoke set up

RE: 8fg Smoke Pump Programing
Can you tell us what type of mix you are using on this?
It would be easiest to do by using a Curve mix. Set the Master as Throttle, the slave as your smoke pump channel, then at the bottom of the page One of your mix change, change Linear to point. Set the switch that activates this mix on page two and make sure the whole mix is active, then go back to page One and after you have made the mix Point instead of Linear, you can set the rate one at 0%, rate two at 0% ( or if you prefer the pump to activate here, set a rate), then start building in the amount of rate you would like.
I set mine at
Rate 1 = 0%
Rate 2 = 25%
Rate 3 = 50%
Rate 4 = 75%
Rate 5 = 100%
These are set to Switch C in the Down position, so unless Switch C is flipped forward, the pump does nothing.
