    Question Programing for new ATO?

    Hey guys, I installed my ATK and put the power plug on the power bar (PB832) spot #8. It was not running, so during my attempts to diagnose I thought I remembered the #8 spot was for a "low draw" or something low powered. So I attempted to remove the module from the Apex system and change the plug over to #6, then attempted to run the installer Task again.

    Now I have the ATO set and it will work just once, and then will not refill (yes I waited till after the 1 hour delay). I have a feeling the 2 ATO items showing up in Fusion are conflicting with each other.

    I have a feeling that when I attempted to "remove module", "everything" was not properly removed.


    Can someone please review and make suggestions?

    From your screen shot, you have both ATO's set to off. They need to be on AUTO to function properly.

    I guess I should have specified, they were set to auto. Turned on like it should but then next time I checked it... both were turned off.

    That means they ran longer than the when time.

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

    Also, the power supply for the FMM should not be plugged into an energy bar outlet. Just plug it into the wall. If you want it that way to make it look clean, the code for that should be either

    Fallback ON
    Set ON

    Or

    Fallback ON
    Set ON
    If Swx4_2 CLOSED Then OFF



    For the 2016 Apex, all outlets are identical. The 4 and 8 rule only applies to EB8s from a classic apex.

    Zombie,
    Would the 2 separate Defer statements have anything to do with it?
    I thought you could only have 1.
    Defer 000:10 Then ON
    Defer 000:04 then OFF
    Wouldn't the second override the first and turn it off?

    Asking for my own benefit.

    Thanks for the info on the plug going straight to wall, or changing the programming for it if using the strip.

    AHH, it was the older power bars that had the 4 and 8 rules. I knew I saw it somewhere!

    @Zombie can you confirm what Member No1 said about the 2 defer statements. That does make sense how it could be competing with itself.

    Those defers have nothing to do with the problem. Those two statements just delay starting and stopping a little bit so the apex is "certain" That the optical actually changed state and wasn't just a noise spike, wave, or splash.
