    ATK power

    Should I plug the ATK power supply into the Apex Energy Bar or just into another surge suppresser I have behind the tank for my MP10s?

    Do not plug the ATK PS into an EB outlet.
    Please do not send me PMs with technical questions or requesting assistance - use the forums for Apex help. PM me ONLY if the matter is of a private or personal nature. Thanks.

    The ATK power supply must always have power, so if it is plugged into an EB outlet, that outlet must be always on. Doing so is a simply waste of a controllable outlet. If you really want to use an EB outlet for the ATK PS, program it only like this:

    Fallback ON
    Set ON

    Also, I've seen it way too many times when someone does plug a power supply for a Vortech, Radion, Hydra, Sol, ATk, 1LINK modules. etc into an EB outlet and then they incorrectly put programming into that outlet when that programming should be used in the actual Vortech/Radion/Hydra etc. output.

    Yes I use code that you posted. I have it plugged in there until I get a UPS for the system.

    I hooked everything up and followed the instructions to install the setup on Apex Fusion, but the ATO never turns on. I tried moving the bottom sensor out of water to see if it would turn on, but nothing. Any thing you can think of that I might be doing wrong?

    Here is the code it suggested I use:

    Fallback OFF
    Set OFF
    If Swx4_1 OPEN Then ON
    If Swx4_2 CLOSED Then OFF
    When On > 005:00 Then OFF
    Defer 000:10 Then ON
    Defer 000:04 Then OFF
    Min Time 060:00 Then OFF

    It may have turned on whilst you were setting up and testing, and then stayed off for 60 mins due to your Min Time statement.
