Apex Programing - Water Change

[ruppertb]

So what I would like to do is when feed c is activated I would like to shut off a few outlets and then 2 min later have it beep and then like 4 min later beep again and then 4 more min and a beep and then 1 min and a beep and then the return back on.

how would I do this, do I have to make a virtual outlet, and can the names for the feed cycle feed c be changed?
thanks

You can shutoff the outlets with no problem, but I"m not sure about setting up all the beeps, haha.

On the outlet you want turned off, just use "If FeedC = ON Then OFF"

I don't think there is a way for you to make the unit beep. What's the reason for this? If you are using a feed cycle, it will display how many seconds are left before it turns back on. As far as turning certain outlets off when you use Feed C, btkrausen has it right.

I have seen a buzzer or alarm that you can pug into a standard outlet and use the programming to turn it on and off, maybe get creative with something like that.

That's a good thought. You could also probably use the SndWrn or SndAlm outlets for the alarms, but you'd have to create a few different virtual outlets for the different beep intervals.

ya i just wanted to have it be like a timer. I turn off return and then 2 min later it beeps telling me that all water should be at a stand still and i can drain my drain tank without draining more water than i need. then another beep to tell me hey the water out pump is propably running dry. ( i might add a float to this so when the tank gets close to empty the float turns off the pump. maybe. i will see what i can do
