Honestly, I feel a little dumb for having to ask, but some googling and R2R searches haven't quite answered my questions. I'm going to plug my Tunze ATO into my Apex Classic to make my life easier during feed mode. I can't stand having to unplug the ATO before shutting off the return to keep it from screaming when the sump level rises, and then remembering to plug it back in when done. I could just move the float valve above the high water line and leave the optical sensor where it is, but then I run the risk of an overflow since it won't alarm until the sump is 5" from overflowing and I'll have less time to address it. Anyway, my questions are thus: I know that by plugging the ATO into the Apex, all I will get is on/off controllability. When the Apex outlet is "on" (as in, all the time except during feed mode), will the ATO still function as designed- sensing water levels, turning on pump when necessary, etc? Plugging it into the EB8 only affects whether or not it's receiving power, correct?
Also, when trying to configure the outlet in Apex Fusion, there are drop-down menus for a low switch, high switch, and defer time. Do I just ignore those, or do I have to do something with them? I just want to add some programming to shut it off for feed modes. As such, do I have the programming correct?
Fallback OFF
Set ON
If FeedA 000 Then OFF
If FeedB 000 Then OFF
If FeedC 000 Then OFF
Defer 030:00 Then ON
I don't have my return pump hooked to the Apex yet- it's a Jebao DCT8000, and I did buy an adapter module but haven't had time to tinker with it and get it all hooked up. Once I do, I'll add a line of code to turn off the ATO if the return pump is off.
Oh, and hey, any ideas on how to change the length of the feed modes if you don't yet have your return pump attached? It looks like feed modes are programmed from the outlet configuration of the return.
Thanks everybody!
