ATK Alarm...

[Yati]

Can someone tell me the proper coding to write so I can stop getting alarm messages when I am in feed more please and thanks!

Maybe turn off the ATK before going to feed mode, or just add that command to your feed mode setup?

I will try it.. I added the command to the ATK but I even switch the ATK to off and I still get a ton of alarm alerts...

Hmmm... Definitely frustrating. I wonder if it's an issue with the alarm settings. Maybe one of our #apexusers with more knowledge of the coding than I have could help out.

I'll be setting up one of these soon. any notes here will help thanks for the thread. im following

It wouldn't be nearly as annoying if it just sent one message alert but I get about 8 or more during the feed mode cycle!

@Terence #reefsquad any ideas?

If you do not want to get emails alerts doing feed modes, then simply at the bottom of your email alarm (below all of the other statements) add:

If FeedA 000 Then Off

Now the email alarm will be set to off during feed mode.

This doesn’t work because there is no delay. As soon as the feed cycle is off then the water level will take time to return below the upper sensor. Since this delay doesn’t exist the alarm goes off and email and texts happen. What is the fix for this? I see a bunch of talk about using a VO but I have no clue how to program that since I am new to programming the APEX.

Spifftempo, this eliminates the alarm until the feed cycle is over yes. The problem is that the water level does not return to normal below the upper sensor quick enough to prevent the alarm from happening as soon as the feed cycle is over. I have heard everyone talking about using s virtual outlet but I am going to need someone to spell that out for me in newbie terms. My return pump drops to 5% when feed cycle a is activated.

You can add extra time to an If Feed statement to keep the outlet off for a period after the feed cycle timer ends. For example;

If FeedA 003 Then OFF

This will keep the outlet OFF for 3 more minutes after the FeedA timer ends.

Try using 001. If that’s not long enough, try 002.
