APEX help Program skimmer to be on from 5pm to 10 pm

[jopo4343]

Hi
Still new at the APEX programming and tired of trying to figure it out so I need help please
Looking to run my skimmer for just 5 hours to start with as I am worried about taking to much out of the tank.
Wanting to program it to turn on at 5pm and off at 10 pm to start.
Help me please I cant figure it out!!!
Thanks
Joe

in the advanced section of the outlet being used write this

Fallback off
Set off
If time 17:00 to 22:00 then on

This is the correct approach, except the If Time values are inclusive, so this will actually turn off the skimmer at 10:01 pm, not 10:00 pm. In this particular scenario it's a trivial difference, but I'm just pointing it out for others in case they are trying to be precise on timings for other devices, such as a dosing pump where it can make a difference in the tank parameters.

Ok thanks for the help.
I thought that was the way but did figure out my problem.
I have two apex for two tanks one this works with the other it will not turn on the outlet?
Any ideas why and how to fix it?
thanks

Check to see if the outlet will turn on and off with the toggle switch if it does not odds are the outlet is bad itself

It turns on by switching it to on.
I tried another EB832 and same thing.
Hooked that EB832 up to my other tank and it will turn the outlet on by program.
Does this leave just the head unit messed up?

Ok here is how I fixed this it took a while.
I pushed the little button and went back to factory settings and now it works…. Was a pain but it’s fixed!
