    Skimmer Code Problem

    Hi,
    I think there is a problem with my skimmer code. Everytime the power is completely shut off to the apex/tank the skimmer needs to wait to come on for 5 minutes, but it doesn't. It comes right back on once all the power is restored. Can anyone help with a line of code I am missing?

    Fallback ON
    Set ON
    If Output COR-20 Speed < 90 Then OFF
    If Power Apex Off 001 Then OFF
    Defer 005:00 Then ON

    The program is fine. Is the skimmer outlet slider in the ON or AUTO position? It must be in AUTO.
    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.

    How did you test? If you have a UPS with power monitor ON and you unplugged the EB then that wouldn't turn off.

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

    So you have no other source of power to the Apex base unit? No 12VDC adapter, other powered module?

    No, nothing.
    Everything is plugged into the EB8’s then they are plugged into the wall outlet.

    The code looks correct to me. You could change it to If Power (EB8 name) 001 Then OFF and see if that works.

    It's weird....it cant be the outlet either because it does everything else it's supposed to.
    I'll try the other statement you recommended and see if that does anything.
