    Unexplained alarm

    I am new to the Apex Controller World, so please excuse my ignorance. I just setup my Apex Classic last night. I keep getting an alarm notice

    I am not sure how else to find out what this alarm pertains to. All help is appreciated. Thank you!

    The email alarm outlet should be in AUTO.

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

    What is that doing essentially? What alarm is it?

    It filters put noise spikes so anything that would alert you must be on for 10 seconds continuously before it actually alerts you and must also be off for 10 seconds continuously before it says the alert has cleared.

    Ah, very cool. So put that code in the email alarm configuration?

    Yup, you can just copy and paste those two lines to the end of your code there. Enabling the Log is also a good idea. Then Update Apex at the upper right.

    So, still getting an alarm. Not nearly as many. It only seems to be doing this in the early morning.

    Is it only the Set Off or are there other alarms?

    Screenshot of the alarm log please.

    Water is hitting the high water sensor. Thus the Swx4_2 Closed alarm.

    When it drops below that, you get the Set OFF.

    Did you install the anti-siphon break?

    Does water spray out of the anti-siphon break when the ATK is running?

    Please screenshot your ATK programming.

    I put a 2 minute defer on the on cycle for the ATO because of it being on a smaller system. When I take out water to test it, the top off system turned on too quick and didn't give me time to add sw to it.

    Everything looks to be in order.

    I would create a virtual outlet to track when the lower sensor opens and closes. Then you can see if the lower sensor is stuck open and allowing the ATK to run past it and to the high sensor.

    Make sure the plugs are fully seated into the ports.

    Screenshot of the FMM Configuration page with Action changed to Configure please.

    If so, I've already screen shot the configuration above.

    He was referring to the module setup page where you assign what is connected to each port. If those are set to auto-detect you need to change them to optical.

    I never assigned them so I'm assuming they were auto detect.
