I've started dosing Red Sea Energy, and want to modify my existing skimmer programming to shut down the skimmer for 60 minutes when dosing (by hand).
I'm using the Apex Classic - and it's been years since I originally set up some of the programming in use today, so I'm finding I'm re-learning some of what I thought I had learned and figured out when I set things up.
I use an UPS and one of my EB8's is on the UPS, and the other just using a pass through outlet on the same unit (surge protection only). I do not use the 12v power adapter (but could - mentioned later).
The UPS is not intended to be a long term back up power source, but instead, to mitigate power interruptions. So, I run my return pump, skimmer, MP40s and lights on the EB8 that uses the UPS. Not specific to the skimmer, but I also have the Ecotech battery backup unit for the MP40s (so that kicks in after the UPS dies, if the power is out longer that 15 minutes).
I also run a switch float in my skimmer cup to shut down the skimmer when the cup is full.
Here is my current skimmer code -
Fallback OFF
Set ON
If Power EB8_4 Off 010 Then ON
If Outlet SkimmerFull = ON Then OFF
EB8_4 is my EB8 using surge protection only (so it goes offline when the house looses power). And after re-reading some of the posts about power delays, I am questioning if if my code is correct for a start up delay after a complete power outage.
So two questions -
1 - what should the code be (and do I need to connect the 12V adapter) for the skimmer start up delay
2 - where should the feed line be inserted in the code
And, is there a way in fusion to see the feed cycle timers? Or do I need to use the wired display or classic view for that?
Thank you!
