Apex return pump programming

[Aquarium Reef]

I’m needing help putting in code for my return pump. I run my skimmer wet and water levels change in my sump frequently. In conjunction with the return pump I have a auto shutoff switch for if the water gets to low to save the pump. To reset the switch the power must first shut off and cancel the alarm and them back on for the pump to work. I would like to turn off the skimmer if the switch is tripped and have a 5 minute delay before it starts back up after the return pump is restated. I am needing to know how to write this for the return pump and skimmer. Is there anyone that could help? Here is the switch I’m using.

This is the statement you need to use to delay the startup 5 minutes.
Defer 005:00 Then ON

Do you have a breakout box? You can use it with floats for alerts and to shut equipment down.

Not yet looking to get one. Thank you!

The only reason I suggest the BOB is because it will be much easier to program.

This is the logic for my skimmer programmed into my apex -

If HISkim CLOSED Then OFF - This is a float switch, the float sits in an open state. When it is closed the skimmer will shutoff
If Power Apex Off 003 Then OFF - If the apex has lost power the skimmer will not turn on when power is restored until 3 minutes has gone by. This will give the sump a chance to stablize.
Defer 003:00 Then ON - Defer statement to keep the skimmer off for 3 minutes. If the float is closed this statement will count down once the float is "open" again.
If Output COR20 = OFF Then OFF - If my return pump is OFF I want my skimmer off. Float switch will also shut the skimmer down.
