I have been playing with different ways to control the newly acessable audiable alarm on the FMM.
I like the idea of having different alarm patterens to allow you to identify different alarm states just by the sound alone.
Here is the theory:
Alarm 1 (TDS is greater than 1) has a beep pattern of 1 second on 5 second off.
Alarm 2 (Sump water low) has a beep pattern of 3 seconds on 1 seconds off.
Alarm 3 (Power outage) has a continuous beep.
I approched this by using a virtual outlet and the OSS programing control.
My first alarm is to alert me when my RODI output rises from from 0 to 1 TDS; indicating a filtration issue.
My second alarm is to aleart me of a power outage to the Apex. This is to give me an audio alert should I not notice that the battery program has taken over. This is much more simple as it is just on and off, not occalating
First alarm: create a virtual outlet named TDS-1 where TDS-1 is the open or closed switch that is controlled by your TDS ouput level on your RODI. This would be open when less than 1 and closed when greater than 1.
Second alarm: create a virtual outlet named SMP-LO where SMP-LO is the open or closed switch that is controlled by your low sump level switch in your sump. This would be open when wet and closed when dry.
Third alarm: this is just a power statement for the fmm alarm:
If Power Apex Off 002 Then ON
This will sound a constant beep when on battery power. I use a 2 second delay to prevent any power flicker false alarms.
Programing...
Virtual outlet SMP-LO programming:
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
OSC 000:00/000:03/000:01 Then ON
If SMP-LO CLOSED Then OFF
Virtual outlet SMP-LO programming:
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
OSC 000:00/000:03/000:01 Then ON
If SMP-LO OPEN Then OFF
FMM Audiable alarm programing:
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Output TDS-1 = ON Then ON
If Output SMP-LO = ON Then ON
If Power Apex Off 002 Then ON
This give me a pulsing alarm 1 second on and 5 seconds off when the rodi tds is graater than 1, a pulsing alarm of 3 seconds on and 1 second off when the sump is low, and a solid on alarm on a power loss.
The applications are endless. I just wanted to share how to control this audible alarm to allow you to be able to identify what the issue is simply by the alarm pattern.

kidding !!! Your right the applications are endless thanks for sharing
