Apex Help

Thanks!

 

Hey Zach....I have another issue and was wondering your thoughts on it....or anyone else who can help!!!

I just installed my Apex last week and its working great except the outlets where I have my 4 pumps are off all the time.

I dont have them plugged in there yet because I dont want them to turn off or be off.

I have my lights, heaters, and fans all plugged in and working as they should be.

Do you know how to correct this issue with the pumps not being on....is it the Fallback state or something?

Thanks!

Here is what my pump settings look like:
Fallback (On/Off) On
Initial off time (MMM:SS) 000.00
On time (MMM:SS): 005.00
Off time (MMM:SS) 005.00
Feed timer (A-D) A
Feed timer delay (MMM) 000

 

Remove the other code -

Fallback ON
Set ON

 

So go the Advanced portion and just put what you wrote in for each of my pumps?

If I look at the Advanced section now it looks like this:
Fallback ON
OSC 000:00/005:00/005:00 Then ON
If FeedA 000 Then OFF

I should change it to this?:
Fallback ON
Set ON

 

Yep. Too complicated. You can leave the Feed line in if you want it to turn off when you feed, otherwise, just set the status to always on and you're good to go.

 

When I made that change and look at it as a Pump again instead of Advanced it now looks like this(In Control Type)
Fallback (On/Off) Off
Initial off time (MMM:SS) 5:00
On time (MMM:SS): 5:00
Off time (MMM:SS) 5:00
Feed timer (A-D) A
Feed timer delay (MMM) 5

Is that correct? And with them like this they will stay on all the time and come back when a power failure occurs right? Basically I want them on all the time and to come back after power fails just as if they were plugged into a surge strip or regular outlet.
Thanks!

 

Don't change back to pump. You don't need to. Leave it on advanced, and just enter

Fallback ON
Set ON

Then go to your status page and it should be set to Auto for that outlet. You will also notice that the outlet state is set to On. That will have it run 24/7 and turn back on after a power outage. Don't switch back to pump.

 

Ahhh....ok!

Thanks again for your help!!! K+ again...(are you tired of the Karma yet?)
