    Try updating to the newest version. If I remember my releases correctly, I think that was the one I had issues with.

    Let me know if it works. If it doesn't maybe we can get Paul to replicate it so he can put a fix in the next firmware release.

    here is my code, problem is that the latch is always on now i cant keep it off, as soon as ato kicks on the latch is on

    ATO
    Fallback OFF
    Set OFF
    If MAINFL CLOSED Then ON
    If Outlet ATO_Latch = ON Then OFF
    If MAINFL OPEN Then OFF
    If EMERFL OPEN Then OFF
    If pH > 8.40 Then OFF
    If Outlet AWC.DRAIN = ON Then OFF
    If Outlet AWCFILLPUMP = ON Then OFF
    Defer 000:25 Then ON
    Min Time 005:00 Then OFF

    V_TLIMIT_ATO
    Set OFF
    If Outlet ATO = ON Then ON
    If Power Apex OFF 001 Then OFF <-- can you please explain this new line? if power off then on for one min?
    Defer 003:00 Then ON
    Defer 000:05 Then OFF

    ATO_Latch
    If Outlet V_TLIMIT_ATO = ON Then ON
    I forgot to explain the new line. I typoed and put that new line in the wrong outlet. It should actually go in the latch outlet as the very first line. The point of the if power line is to force the latch to be off anytime the apex restarts. The initial state on power up sequence is random and unpredictable and there are certain times it will default to on when the apex restarts without that line in there.

    Updated the Firmware and it works perfectly! i am loving my apex system, it is absolutely amazing what you can do with this, also the community to back it up is wonderful!

    here is my final code.

    ATO_Latch
    If Power Apex Off 001 Then OFF
    If Outlet V_TLIMIT_ATO = ON Then ON

    V_TLIMIT_ATO
    Set OFF
    If Outlet ATO = ON Then ON
    Defer 003:00 Then ON
    Defer 000:05 Then OFF

    ATO
    Fallback OFF
    Set OFF
    If MAINFL CLOSED Then ON
    If Outlet ATO_Latch = ON Then OFF
    If MAINFL OPEN Then OFF
    If EMERFL OPEN Then OFF
    If pH > 8.40 Then OFF
    If Outlet AWC.DRAIN = ON Then OFF
    If Outlet AWCFILLPUMP = ON Then OFF
    Defer 000:25 Then ON
    Min Time 005:00 Then OFF

    Good to hear. If you see the same problem surface again, send an email to support so paul can remote in and see if he can see what the problem is and try to replicate it at the office.
