    Flow sensor alarm off during feed cycle

    I'm trying to stop the Flow sensor from sending an alarm when I select Feed A,B,C or D. Have a 1/2" flow sensor connected to an FMM module.

    Current Alarms Programing
    Set OFF
    If LeakEx CLOSED Then ON
    If LeakIn CLOSED Then ON
    If Reserv OPEN Then ON
    If ALKres OPEN Then ON
    If CalRes OPEN Then ON
    If Power Apex Off 000 Then ON
    If FeedA 000 Then OFF
    If FeedB 000 Then OFF

    Flow Sensor
    Advanced Configuration of flow sensor does not allow programing.

    In apex local are you clicking on the advanced tab? When you say doesn't allow programming what do you mean?

    I get this when I go into mine.

    Most other Advanced buttons allow you to write programing, this one does not. Would like to receive an alarm when flow is out of range but not when feeding.

    You have to use a virtual outlet for that.

    Ex.
    LowFlow
    Set OFF
    If Flow < XX Then ON
    If Outlet Return = OFF Then OFF
    Defer 001:00 Then ON

    Email Outlet
    (Existing code)
    If Outlet LowFlow = ON Then ON

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

    I assume "Outlet Return" is return pump. Should I put a flow in place of XX? Do I have to turn on the virtual outlet to prevent email?

    Created virtual outlet. Must have something wrong because it isn't working.
    Email outlet:
    Set OFF
    If LeakEx CLOSED Then ON
    If LeakIn CLOSED Then ON
    If Reserv OPEN Then ON
    If ALKres OPEN Then ON
    If CalRes OPEN Then ON
    If Power Apex Off 000 Then ON
    If FeedA 000 Then OFF
    If FeedB 000 Then OFF
    If Output FeedAlarmOFF = ON Then ON

    Virtual Outlet (FeedAlarmOFF)
    Set OFF
    If GPM11_ <XX Then OFF
    If Output RetPump_3_3 = OFF Then OFF
    Defer 000:35 Then ON

    You also want then ON not OFF in the flow line.

    My apologies for the delayed response. Was distracted with other projects. Thank you so much for your help. This seems to be working great.
