So, I had an issue a while back (stupidity, mostly) where I had to reconfigure my Apex Fusion dashboard.

Long story short is that I lost my original programming, and now I can't figure out for the life of me how to delay an alarm for 3-4 minutes.

I thought the code was something like this:

If pH > 8.40 004 Then ON

However, Fusion does not accept the "004" delay behind the pH value. Whenever I upload the code, the program looks like it accepts it. When I go back to the dashboard and then back to the alarm setting, the "004" delay syntax is missing.

The reason I need the delay is that I use limewater to topoff, and the small area where the topoff enters is also where the pH probe is located. I don't need alarms everytime the topoff does it's job, and a pH excursion in that section of the sump has no real consequence on a short duration.

Thanks in advance and pardon my stupidity!
 
I think you want DEFER, e.g. this makes sure the pH value is high for 4 minutes straight before actually triggering the alarm:

Set OFF
If pH > 8.40 Then ON
Defer 004:00 Then ON
 
Not sure why it would not reset, assuming you have the "Set OFF" at the top - mine seems to work fine just like that.

This should work for you, double check to make sure you have the Set OFF in there
 
This is my code now:
Set OFF
If Temp > 80.0 Then ON
If Temp < 75.8 Then ON
If pH > 8.40 Then ON
Defer 004:00 Then ON
If pH < 7.70 Then ON
Defer 004:00 Then ON
 
There is something weird going on. When I manually turn the alarms to ON, the alarm sounds as expected. When I turn them OFF, they continue to beep until I reload the Fusion webpage, put the alarm in AUTO, then turn it OFF again.
 
I know with the alarms they will go thru a "cycle" even after you shut them off.

How long have you let the alarm go for after switching it to OFF?
