I have a code for when the heaters are on for too long, but need to adjust it. It's been pretty cold here on the East Coast so my heaters are staying on a little longer to keep up, which is fine. I have it set to alert me when they are on for more than 30 minutes. The problem is my alarm goes off constantly, as the heaters are staying on for very long periods, but the tank isn't overheating so the alarm doesn't need to go off. Here's the HeatError VO I have...

Set OFF
If Output Heater_2_4 = ON Then ON
If Output Heat2_2_6 = OFF Then OFF
Defer 030:00 Then ON

What can I add, and where should I add it, to only trigger this alarm if the heater is on for a long time AND the temp goes too high. Clearly I am not good with coding and I am nervous to make any changes without help.

Do you know how long they stay on for currently?

The Defer 030:00 line is 30 minutes. Just make it longer time. It goes in minutes so if you need more that an hour it would have to be in minutes. Like 090:00 = 1.5 hours.
 
Usually less than 2 hours, but this morning it was on from 4am to 10:30am.
