Neptune Apex programming help

[LucyMollyMaryJane]

Hello,
Trying to setup a program for my apex pro.
I have a liquid level sensor in FMM-1 and have a solenoid in the aquabus 24v dc port A.

I would like to have the solenoid open if the LLS is reading under 9”. If the LLS reads above 9”, I would like the solenoid to close.

Can someone help with the code?

Thanks!

Sure. For the solenoid, you'll want something like this:

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If LLS < 9.0 Then ON
If LLS > 9.0 Then OFF
When On > 005:00 Then OFF
Defer 000:30 Then ON
Defer 000:10 Then OFF
Min Time 030:00 Then OFF

This will run the check every 30 minutes. If the solenoid is open for more than 5 minutes it will disable the program (AUTO > OFF) as a precaution.

Thank you very much!
I got an error. Apex stating that only certain inputs can come after the IF statement…

Of course there is probably a error if you just pasted it directly in.

More than likely its the LLS 'name' in your apex is different than what is posted. Check line 3 code.

Thanks a bunch! Exactly what it was.

If you don’t mind, for my understanding…

When On > 005:00 Then OFF - this is code for off if on for more than 5 min. I understand that.

Defer 000:30 Then ON
Defer 000:10 Then OFF
What is Defer? Assuming this is 30 and 10 min, respectively.

Min Time 030:00 Then OFF - what is the intent of this line?

I found a good explanation thread for the commands. I understand now. Thanks for the help tho.

How do you just get the LLS to calibrate? I get this error and will not calibrate the 8 inch. I have no issues on the previous 2 inch calibration. I have the LLS in my 5 Gallon ATO and just want to monitor the level of the chamber.

I hooked mine up out of the box and verified the readings. It was already well calibrated so I didn’t run another calibration.
