Apex alarms

[TWYOUNG]

Can anyone tell me what my newly set up APEX Is telling me with this barrage of alerts.

Whatever you have connected to the input 1 of your breakout box is closing a lot.

What do you have connected there?

 

[TWYOUNG]

Sorry I’m new to this and not familiar with the term “break out box”. I have two FMM modules and two COR pumps with other connections.

What do you have connected in input 1 of your FMM that is at module address 4? These have similar names to the switch inputs of the breakout box.

That is the lower optical sensor for my ATO.

That is the lower optical sensor for my ATO.

Go to the input page and find that switch number.

Rename it to something meaningful like ATOlow.

In the advanced tab, change alarm drop-down box to "never"

Thanks. I’m almost there. I renamed the switch only I can’t remember how to get to the advanced tab to reset the alarm.

For some reason I thought it was there like it is for other inputs. That tab doesn't exist for switch inputs.

Check your email alarm outlet. Delete the line that says If SwitchName CLOSED Then ON

I found the program for the ATO output and line 5 stated, “ if ATOLOW closed then ON. It would seem the normal course of things would be for that switch to be closed so I changed it to say OFF. Not sure why it was programmed that way unless I did it without realizing it. Hopefully this will fix it. Thanks for the help I truly appreciate it.

It is in the EmailAlm_I5 output that you need to remove the line.

Your ATOlow switch will change between open and closed quite often as water level changes, so you don't want to alert yourself when that happens.

For the outlet itself you want

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If ATOlow OPEN Then ON
If ATOhig CLOSED Then OFF
Defer 000:10 Then ON
Defer 000:10 Then OFF
Min Time 030:00 Then OFF
When ON > 005:00 Then OFF


For email you want

If Error ATOoutputname Then ON

Optional
If ATOhig CLOSED Then ON
