I respectfully disagree with the previous post. Having a ...Then OFF statement in an email outlet is perfectly acceptable, if done properly. In this case, simply putting the statements in a suitable sequence in the email program is all that is needed. A virtual outlet is an unnecessary complexity in this case. The key here is that statements are evaluated from top to bottom.
Set OFF
If H20LOW CLOSED Then ON
If Time 23:00 to 06:59 Then Off
If Temp > 83.0 Then ON
If Temp < 75.0 Then ON
If ABTTMP > 84.9 Then ON
If PH > 8.30 Then ON
If PH < 7.80 Then ON
If CABLK CLOSED Then ON
If RRLeak CLOSED Then ON
If LRLeak CLOSED Then ON
If Power Apex Off 001 Then ON
If Outlet PumpSW = ON Then ON
First, note that I changed the If Time statement so that it matches what's stated in the first post:
"I would like to set the H20LOW to only come on between 7:00am and 11:00pm"
Now, if H2OLOW is CLOSED, and the time is during the 7Am-11PM period, the alarm output will turn on. But because the If Time 23:00 to 06:59 Then Off statement comes after If H2OLOW line, if the time is within those hours, the outlet will not be turned on even if H2OLOW is CLOSED.
The most important part here is that by moving the two lines in blue to the top, the desired effect is achieved
without adversely impacting the other alarm programming.... the If Time 23:00 to 06:59 Then Off will suppress only the If H2OLOW line at night, without affecting the other alarm programming at all.
Look Ma! No VO!
Also, please note that I deliberately did not include a Defer statement. The original programming had a Defer 010:00 Then ON statement. I would *never* use a Defer ON that long in an email outlet, especially when there are statements in the alarm programming that are for leak detectors. If there is a leak detected, I don't want the system to delay telling me about it for 10 minutes - if there's water on the floor, I want - no, strike that - I NEED to know RIGHT NOW! If, for some reason, you feel a need to delay the email outlet from turning on, keep the Defer very short in duration... IMO, absolutely no more than 1 minute, preferably less than 15 seconds.
