Apex programming for skimmer cup

[Bperau]

New to the apex world and have been screwing around with it the past couple days trying to get to know how it works. Float switch should be here tomorrow and am looking for some tips on how to set it up to turn my skimmer off when the collection up is full and send me a text also

you need to wire it to one of the switches of the breakout box (or build your own). then you can reference that switch in your programming to do what you want

 

[Bperau]

Yeah I have the hooking it up part down, it's the telling it what to do that I think I need help with

Here is mine. The switch is normally closed.

Thank you. Then if I can an email to I go to my email alert settings and just say if sw1 open then on?

 

[jeremy]

Go into email alerts. This is how mine is setup. You can also go to Neptune Apex Support Forums for good programming tips.

These are the ones I have setup. I just got some leak detectors I have to setup yet. But this gives you the general idea.

Thank you

No problem

Here's my skimmer programming. Typically the float switches fail in the "closed" position, so I reverse mine by flipping the float on the stem. Thus when it's "closed" it will turn off my skimmer. I also shut off my skimmer when my return pump is off (as my sump water rises) and then wait for about 6 minutes when the pump is back on so my sump level stabilizes. I also have the ALD module that also shuts off the skimmer if there is a leak near my sump.

Fallback ON
Set ON
If Output Return_Pump = OFF Then OFF
Defer 006:00 Then ON
If SkmFul CLOSED Then OFF
If Leak1 CLOSED Then OFF

Here's my email alert programming too:

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Tmp > 80.0 Then ON
If Tmp < 77.0 Then ON
If pH > 8.40 Then ON
If pH < 7.80 Then ON
If Power Apex Off 001 Then ON
If SkmFul CLOSED Then ON
Defer 000:05 Then ON
If SmpFul CLOSED Then ON
