Hi new apex user and need help with programming. I would like my AFS to feed at 0900 and 1700 and once the AFS turns on would like my return pump to turn off for 5 mins then turn back on. I created a virtual outlet and been able to successfully have the AFS come on at the determined times and the return pump turn off but it won’t turn back on after the 5 min defer. Thanks for any help

Current code

Return Pump code
Fallback ON
Set ON
If Output FeedTank = ON Then OFF

AFS Code
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Output FeedTank = ON Then ON
Defer 001:00 Then ON

Virtual Outlet Code
Set OFF
If Time 09:00 to 09:02 Then ON
If Time 17:00 to 17:02 Then ON
Defer 005:00 Then OFF

A little rusty but here's a simple snip for my main pump

Fallback ON
Set ON
If FeedA 000 Then OFF

Might just be your checking ON when i.e. with a normal feed you check for 000 to go off. When feed is up its back on.
