I wanted to put a timer on my Tunze ATO so it only goes on for 5 minutes a day, for safety reasons. For some reason, whenever Apex loses connection to Fusion, EB832 loses power then restarts, making the Tunze ATO pre-pump each on & off.

I wanted to double check and all looked ok with the new lines, any input would be appreciated.

Current lines
Fallback ON
Set ON
If Swx6_1 CLOSED Then OFF
If Swx6_2 CLOSED Then OFF
If Swx6_3 CLOSED Then OFF
If Swx7_1 CLOSED Then OFF
If Swx7_2 CLOSED Then OFF
If Sw1 CLOSED Then OFF
If Sw2 CLOSED Then OFF
If Output Return_2_8 = OFF Then OFF
Defer 005:00 Then ON

If Time 13:00 to 13:05 Then ON
 
If your SW's and Output commands are safety-related then the "If Time" should be right below "Set Off" otherwise your unit will turn on regardless of any command above it. Remember, last line read has highest priority and overrides all above.
 
Got it! Yeah, those switches are leak detectors and safety water floats & sensors. So, does the below look better?

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Time 13:00 to 13:05 Then ON
If Swx6_1 CLOSED Then OFF
If Swx6_2 CLOSED Then OFF
If Swx6_3 CLOSED Then OFF
If Swx7_1 CLOSED Then OFF
If Swx7_2 CLOSED Then OFF
If Sw1 CLOSED Then OFF
If Sw2 CLOSED Then OFF
If Output Return_2_8 = OFF Then OFF

Looks good to me.
