Hi all,
A guy in my local club had a flood after the skimmer locker overflowed. I've been trying to help and to me it looks like the code is correct. but his apex does something I've not seen or maybe he didnt explain well. I will link the thread as soon as I find out external links are ok here.
here is a cut and paste from the original thread...
What I am trying to do is to turn off the skimmer in the event that the return pump power is lost or the skimmer reserve container is full as evidenced by a float switch in the container. My Octopus is a great skimmer but VERY sensitive to the sump water level, a time delay is also desired to insure the water level reaches the correct point before turning the skimmer on. This setup failed during the storm flooding my living floor because the skimmer did not turn off when the float switch opened. The float switch is connected through a breakout box to the apex AND DID NOT FAIL it clearly showed OPEN on the display
heres the code:
Fallback on
Set on
If Outlet RETURN_EB8-3 = OFF Then Off
If Sw1 OPEN Then Off
Defer 002:00 Then on
my Apex Fusion has three states; connected, not connected, and doesn't know its not connected. It goes into the "doesn't know its not connected" phase during interruptions with the internet signal such as we had during the storm looking at the computer screen it would appear that all is fine, no note "NOT CONNECTED TO FUSION" but it's not communicating with Fusion or the Apex and provides no message telling you that, again all looks normal. In this phase if one was to try and input a manual command such turning on a light the slider acts like a two pole momentary switch, toggling it from AUTO to ON or OFF it will snap back to the AUTO position, thats your signal that all brain activity has ceased. It was in this phase when I had my flood, what all this means I don't know do they all have this third phase?
