Hi everyone,
Any idea on how to code or change settings so the Neptune COR 20 will drop in power/wattage if I lose power and my back up APC UPS battery kicks in?

I already have gyres connected to IceCap back ups but I also want my main pump to stay on.

Thanks
 
I can’t answer the specific question, but I can bump the thread to see if we can get you some help
 
I wrote a tutorial on Apex Power Monitoring which explains how to program the Apex to change settings when a power failure is detected. For example on your COR, to reduce its power to 5%, use this code in the Advanced tab on your COR's graphical schedule screen:

If Power Apex Off 000 Then 5

Once the utility power is restored to your house, the COR will resume its normal schedule.

GREAT tutorial but I can't get that "If Power Apex Off 000 Then 5" command to work. I get the error
//Error: line 11 - Expected ON, OFF, PFx, or intensity // If Power Apex Off 000 Then 5

Here's the program

If FeedA 000 Then 1
If FeedB 000 Then 1
If FD_SW1 CLOSED Then 1
If Leak_3 CLOSED Then OFF
If Leak_4 CLOSED Then OFF
If Leak_5 CLOSED Then OFF
Defer 015:00 Then OFF
If Power Apex Off 000 Then 5

And why is it Error:line 11? It's line 8. Thanks!
