Leak detection sensor - Neptune Apex

Dr4gula.f32 · Apr 30, 2023

I just picked up the new solid surface leak detection sensor.

I want to put it on the bottom of my HOB skimmer to stop overflows which happen too often.

I already have the neptune ATK v2 with 1 free port on the FMM.

Automated tasks for this will stop my ATK from working. I don't want that, I want the skimmer to turn off.

So I'm stuck coming up with programming for this thing myself.

Can anyone help me?

Does your main apex unit have any free ports?

I'm pretty sure you could just add to the skimmer logic something like
If Leak1 CLOSED Then OFF - but I only have mine set to the audible alarm so not 100% - might be worth checking the Neptune forums as well https://forum.neptunesystems.com/forumdisplay.php?72-Apex-Programming-amp-Configuration

I have the Apex EL so my only FMM style ports are on the FMM module itself.

Do what @ScubaFish802 said. Go into the skimmer programming and put that, the sensor will be open and when it detects water it changes to a closed state

my only other mention is 'Leak1' has to match the internal name of your leak sensor. 'Leak1' is just what mine is named internally
