    Question WAV Program during Power Outage

    Thanks in advance. I was hoping to get some help programming my WAV powerbeads to run at say 20% power during a power outage. I have a battery backup and want to conserve energy. Apex is plugged in and already to alert when I have an outage. Just not sure what command to put ..

    If Power Apex Off 000 Then ???????

    Define a profile. I would suggest 1% constant on a single WAV since 1850 gph is more than adequate in most cases and that will give you the longest runtime. Then use that profile name in the power statement for one WAV and set the others to OFF

    Here's what that would look like:

    I created a profile called WAV_Slow

    and then put the following line in the program for one WAV: If Power Apex Off 001 Then WAV_Slow

    and the following line in all others: If Power Apex Off 001 Then OFF

    The 001 creates a small time delay to ignore very short outages.

    You misunderstood what 001 does. It is not 1 minute following the start of a power outage. 001 means during a power outage and for 1 minute after power is restored. If one wanted a delayed power outage setup you would need to do this

    SavePower
    Set OFF
    If Power Apex Off 000 Then ON
    Defer 001:00 Then ON

    Device
    (Existing code)
    If Output SavePower = ON Then profilename/ON/OFF
