You have to tell it to turn on first and your time was actually 11 minutes (start of 18:08 to end of 18:18).
Fallback ON
Set ON
If Time 18:08 to 18:17 Then OFF
You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.
thanks for your reply
but this is what i have in my return pump coding
Fallback ON
Set ON
If Swx4_1 CLOSED Then OFF
If FeedA 008 Then OFF
then i input
If Time 18:08 to 18:17 Then OFF ??
Yes if your feeder turns on at 6:08 pm.

i did that and still did not work.... any thoughts?
Is your return set to AUTO?
Does your apex clock match local time?
Does your feeder match local time?

It would be helpful to those who are trying to help you if you would be clear and detailed. Just writing “did not work” is vague, and makes us guess at what you mean. Be specific, like “the pump did not turn off at 18:08”. Or “the pump turned off at 19:08 instead of 18:08”. And when requesting assistance with modifications to programming, always post the full programming in use for the output(s) of interest.
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.
hi Zombie,
thanks for your help
yes my return pump outlet is set on auto
yes my apex match my local time
yes my feeder match my local time
Then it should work. What makes you think it didn't work?

when the time turns to the select time for example 18:00 pm to 18:09 pm. the return pump still working
Does it shut off when you activate Feed A?
yes it works under feed A
is it possible to program feed A to turn of at a certain time?
Fallback ON
Set ON
If Swx4_1 CLOSED Then OFF
If FeedA 008 Then OFF
If Time 17:20 to 17:27 Then OFF
If FeedB 008 Then OFF
I don't see anything wrong with the code. If Feed works, and the time settings are correct, I'm at a loss. You don't have any duplicate outlet/probe names do you? That can cause weird behavior.
no i don't but the only thing i could think of, is that i haven't did the latest software update. need to connect my apex to my home router..... will have to buy a long cable or can i disconnect my apex from the tank and take it to my home router to do the update?
Based on the issues people are having, I would not update to the latest right now. I would open a ticket with Neptune Support to see if there is anything they can do.
