    Suspend Email Alarms During Manual WC

    I have a VO named MAN_WC that among other things, turns off EmailAlarms so that when the probes are out of the water in the display tank I don't get alarm notices for pH, Temp, Salinity. When MAN_WC is OFF the display equipment comes on with the return pump first, followed by the skimmer after a delay then the Jebao power heads after another delay period. I'd like to add a defer statement to the Alarms output but don't know if I should say Defer 010:00 Then ON or do I say Defer 010:00 Then OFF? If I say ON will it put the output to ON and send out an email and text alert or will it continue down the program list and when it comes to Set OFF turn off? My programming of this Output is as follows.

    Set OFF
    If skmFul OPEN Then ON
    If Smp_Lo CLOSED Then ON
    If SmpHI OPEN Then ON
    If T_TEMP > 81.0 Then ON
    If T_TEMP < 74.0 Then ON
    If T_Salt < 32.5 Then ON
    If Ret_HI CLOSED Then ON
    If VSVFil CLOSED Then ON
    If T_NSW > 80.0 Then ON
    If Error Ret_High_VO Then ON
    If Error ATO_4_4 Then ON
    If Output MAN_WC = ON Then OFF
    If Error AWC_LO_VO Then ON

    Let me know what you think. Thanks.

    You want Defer ON, if you want to delay sending out the alarm for a period of time after one of your conditions is met. Some commands, such as Defer, Min Time, and When On, are not order dependent and apply to the entire program code stack no matter where they are placed. Now though you'll have a 10 minute delay before getting any kind of alarm notification, which you may not want. As an alternative, you could break out the manual water change output to a new VO with a longer OFF Defer, and reference that in your email code instead.
