How to determine when an always on outlet "runs" a float controlled device?

[Oberst Hajj]

I have two Clarisea SK-5000 filter rollers setup in my sump. They are plugged into outlets on my EB832 that are set as Always On. Is there a way that I can see how often and for how long the Clarisea float switches are activating the motors? I tried looking at the Amp log for one of the outlets, but that does not appear to show any useful data in this regards.

Anyone ( @SuncrestReef ) know if this is possible?

I don't know, but someone must, bump!

Short answer, you can't...really.

Long answer; The system takes measurements every x minutes that you set in the miscellaneous menu. Since the roller only runs for a second or so there will only maybe be a few times a day it "catches" it..maybe. I tried to do the same exact thing with my Clarisea and that is what I found. Shorter times didn't help either.

Edit: You could probably connect the float switch in parallel to an input on the Apex and the Clarisea controller then monitor that input. Not exactly sure on that, I have not tried.

Thanks for the reply and connecting the float switch directly to the Apex is a good idea. I'll have to look into that.
