I’m sure the answer to this is a virtual outlet but I’m brand new and need more detailed instructions. I just installed the ATK and when I go to feed cycle A the water level in the sump goes over my SumpHI sensor and I get alarm texts and emails. My return pump does not shut off but it drops to a extremely low percentage. How do I stop the alarm texts and emails when I activate feedcycle A? The next question would be how is the best way to prevent alarms when doing maintenance where I would actually turn the return pump off? Thanks for any help.

You can replace the code that references the SumpHi optical sensor in the alarm code with a reference to a virtual outlet that is off when feed mode is active. You can also incorporate a delay of a few minutes so the alarm doesn't go off as soon as feed mode ends but the water level hasn't adjusted yet.

[SumpLvlHi]
Set OFF
If SumpHi CLOSED Then ON
If FeedA 005 Then OFF
If FeedB 005 Then OFF
If FeedC 005 Then OFF
If FeedD 005 Then OFF

And in your alarm:

If Output SumpLvlHi = ON Then ON

When I'm doing serious maintenance and don't want to be bothered with alarms, I just turn the alarm tile in Apex Fusion to OFF. This is really useful when doing something like recalibrating probes. Just remember to set it back to AUTO later! :)
