Apex Virtual Outlet

[AustinJT]

Hi, guys.

I want to create a VO for Skimmer being off 48hrs. Usually I create this for Skimmer Feed, which is just a couple hours.

But I don't how to code 48hrs. What i can do with my current setting is 16hrs.

To which I set outlet to be on for 999:99

And use this VO to trigger physical outlet for Skimmer.

I want to create a similiar version, so I can trigger Phyiscial Outlet for UV, Ozone & Skimmer whenever I dose something that require everything to be off for 48hrs.

Anyone know how to code Virtual Output to be "On" for 48hrs "Then Off"???

You will have to create several virtual outlets and link them together in the physical outlet that references them. For your application:

[Timer1] - virtual output
Set OFF
IF [your condition] Then ON
Min Time 999:00 Then ON

[Timer2] - virtual output
Set OFF
If Output Timer1 = ON Then ON
Defer 998:00 Then ON
Min Time 999:00 Then ON

[Timer3] - virtual output
Set OFF
If Output Timer2 = ON Then ON
Defer 998:00 Then ON
Min Time 882:00 Then ON

[Physical outlets you want on for 48 hours]
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Output Timer1 = ON Then ON
If Output Timer2 = ON Then ON
If Output Timer3 = ON Then ON

If Output Timer2 = ON Then ON
If Output Timer3 = ON Then ON

Wow... that's a lot of outlets.

If I code it this way:

998:00 Then OFF
Differ 998:00 Then OFF

Will this make 32hrs? I would settle for 32hrs for 1 outlet. Will this work?

Thank you.

I think that would work. Just make sure you spell it “Defer”, not “Differ”

Sure, sure... “Defer”

Thanks, I've read those already & I made a complete copy of his Tutorials, even edit some part to suit my style because I can be very forgetful. So I usually rewriting manual & instruction based on how I normally would use it.

But even with his instruction, I couldn't find one that would program 48hrs.

There's another Neptune guy on youtube. His coding was a bit unorthodox but it works great.
