Programming Alarm Actions and VO's
So now that I am re-programming my system from scratch that was running for 8 years I have been forgetting how I did things. Also things may have changed or some of you all had better ways of doing things.
In the past I had VO's to reset alarms and the actions they triggered. Basically I wanted to make sure not only where alarms and their actions bouncing, but that I corrected the action before things went back to normal.
For instance is there is an leak, then the leak alarm triggers an email and shuts off the return.Since for me I have seen more leaks when things overflow, (skimmer collection tanks, display because something clogged, or ATO went nuts and started filling things too much. "SND ALARM" , "EMAIL" and the outlet I wanted to control would all have lines referencing the float siwtch or leak sensor. This seems a bit redundant.
If I remember correctly in the alarm and in the outlet (skimmer, return, etc) I removed the "set" command and added a line for the VO stating something like 'If outlet reset on then off" to keep the state active until I hit a VO called "reset"
I hope this makes sense. I cant seem to load my old program into my spare apex so I am guessing the firmware is different. I upgraded them both when I tore down the system.
