    Post Annoying Status: OFF Statement: Set OFF alarms!

    I've searched the forums and I've done other suggestions to no avail. The problem started today and I haven't touched programming. Not sure what's going on. I have manually turned off a light because I don't want it on right now, would that be causing the issue?

    Disp_alarm and Disp_warn are all Set OFF and manually turned off.

    Here is my code for email_alarm
    Set OFF
    If Temp > 81.0 Then ON
    If Temp < 76.0 Then ON
    If pH > 8.50 Then ON
    If pH < 7.70 Then ON
    If Swx4_1 CLOSED Then ON
    If Swx4_2 CLOSED Then ON
    If Swx4_3 CLOSED Then ON
    If Swx4_4 CLOSED Then ON
    If Error ATO_Pump Then ON
    If Swx7_2 CLOSED Then ON
    If Condx5 > 37.0 Then ON
    If Condx5 < 33.0 Then ON


    Didn't start happening until today and I'm getting one about every 5 minutes.

    I posted the same yesterday. not sure on the cause as yet. what I came across on the net was there could be a switch or probe on the limit it goes past the set point and back before the cause email has sent and it just sends the all clear alarm.

    Is your email alarm code similar to mine?

    Look at the probe values - is one hovering right at the cusp of an alarm threshold?

    Add these two statements to the end of email output program to eliminate or reduce the alarm which might happen if a probe reading momentarily crosses an alarm threshold.

    Defer 000:10 Then ON
    Min Time 000:05 Then OFF
    Please do not send me PMs with technical questions or requesting assistance - use the forums for Apex help. PM me ONLY if the matter is of a private or personal nature. Thanks.

    I don't know if this will fix your problem, but add

    Defer 000:10 Then ON

    To the end of your email alarm as good practice to get proper debouncing.


    Besides that, make sure your outlet is in auto and a reboot of the apex couldn't hurt (there appears to be a bug right now making email go kinda haywire and reboots have fixed for most)

    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.

    All the values are at least 0.5 greater than email_alarm settings.

    I added the code you recommended. Hopefully, that will fix the issues.

    Thanks
