Hi there, just getting started with my Apex Jr, and looking for some help. I'll try to describe what I'd like to do, I did a couple of searches and didn't find what I was looking for...
So I want to use FeedA and FeedB; FeedA will be an actual feed mode once I purchase the AFS, but for now will not be used. I know I will need to program this in to a time of day (or two) but I don't plan on doing this for FeedB, which will be an as-needed maintenance mode (for manual water changes, changing carbon etc). So, for now, I'm just trying to program FeedB in Fusion.
I currently have two outlets programmed; my return pump on outlet 1 is set to advanced control type with the following:
Fallback ON
Set ON
If FeedA 000 Then OFF
If FeedB 000 Then OFF
The second outlet is the heater, using a heater control type and set to come on at 77.1 and off at 77.4; I think I will need to change this to advanced so I can add the FeedA/FeedB OFF commands, but I'm not sure how to do this. I want my heater to turn off with the Feed modes because it is in the overflow and remote from the temp probe (which is in the sump); however, I guess this isn't necessary because I have the thermostat set for 79 so it shouldn't overheat, correct? Is it necessary to turn it off with the return pump? I guess either way if the temp probe gets exposed to air I will get an alarm, right?
The third and fourth outlets will be my skimmer and ATO. I think I will program these exactly the same as the return pump; however, I want them to come on a few minutes after the return pump so the skimmer doesn't overflow and the ATO doesn't alarm. How do I do this? And does this all sound good/make sense? Thanks for your time!
Also, I have one more kind of unrelated question. Since I'm using Fusion and don't really plan to use the display, if I disconnect the display from the Apex Jr can I then run 5 modules? I know, a lot of questions... Thanks in advance
