Apex ca reactor question

[aabjones888]

Okay can somebody help me with a code for my apex to control my calcium reactor please.
I have a geo reactor and a carbon doser regulator with a standard apex and 2 probes, one in the reactor and one in my sump. I'd like just the basic setup people run. Thanks

The main portion of what you need (this controls the Carbon Doser Regulator)

Fallback OFF
If pH_CR > 6.70 Then ON
If pH_CR < 6.70 Then OFF

And for a little protection

If pH_Wtr < 7.95 Then OFF

 

[aabjones888]

Do I type these 4 exactly like that under what outlet I want, plug the Carbon doser into that and I'm good?

Yes

Then you need to play with the doser to get your desired bubbles you pretty much
will ignore the bubble counter on the reactor and set the dial (my knob is set to 5).


PS: I have additional lines to turn off the C02 pretty much any time water is Not flowing through the Reactor

If Maint CLOSED Then OFF
If Outlet CR_Recirc = OFF Then OFF
If Outlet CR_Feed = OFF Then OFF
If Outlet Main_Return = OFF Then OFF
If pH_Wtr < 7.95 Then OFF

Thanks

Well I typed in my program and it says error, here's what I typed in..
Fallback OFF
If pH_CR>6.70 Then OFF
If pH_CR<6.70 Then ON
If pH_Wtr<7.95 Then OFF
Anything look wrong?

If your ph probe name isn't pH_CR like the one you typed in it won't work. You have to give the command with the probes name that is in your system.

The best and fastest way to set up a calcium reactor with the apex is to use the PH control setup wizard. It will look like this in fusion. You set the ph levels you want to maintain and that's it.

I don't have Internet hookup at my house, I live way out in the country. I hook my apex up to my laptop threw a Ethernet cable and type in the commands.

 

[aabjones888]

So I have the one in my reactor as ph2 and the probe in my sump as ph.

You should be able to modify the lines as needed to reflect your probe names

 

[aabjones888]

K will try that

 

[aabjones888]

So I changed the name to ph2 because that's the probed that's in my ca reactor and I'm still getting an error of invalid keywords. So what's the CR mean in the codes? I'm not good with my apex yet

 

[Harry_Y]

pH_CR is the name of my probe in my CA Reactor
pH_Wtr is the name of my probe in my sump


If pH_CR > 6.70 Then ON
If pH_CR < 6.70 Then OFF
If pH_Wtr < 7.95 Then OFF

 

[aabjones888]

Ooo ok I got it now, thanks, I think I got it now

I had issues programming mine with the name "ph2" I had to change it to phx2 to get it to recognize the probe so I could program it.
