Apex Classic Setup and Programming Guide v2.2 Page 104
If Outlet Sump_High = ON Then ON
If pH > 8.60 Then ON
… other alarm commands
The 3 additions to the basic ATO example are in bold. The command inserted at
the end of the ATO Outlet Program, will override the status of the ATO outlet and
turn it off when pH has risen above 8.50. The other 2 additions will send an email
and sound an audible alarm when the pH rises above 8.60.
ALTERNATING PUMPS
The AquaController Apex can be used to simulate the tide in an aquarium. This
can be accomplished by having two power heads at opposite ends of the
aquarium which are alternately turned on and off. The following outlet programs
will produce this effect using If Time commands.
Assign and create the following outlets using the instructions in earlier sections of
this manual.
Pump1 Outlet is where Pump 1 is connected.
Pump2 Outlet is where Pump 2 is connected.
Outlet Programs
Pump1 <Real Outlet>
Fallback On
If Time 00:00 to 06:00 Then ON
If Time 06:00 to 12:00 Then OFF
If Time 12:00 to 18:00 Then ON
If Time 18:00 to 00:00 Then OFF
Pump2 <Real Outlet>
Fallback On
If Time 00:00 to 06:00 Then OFF
If Time 06:00 to 12:00 Then ON
If Time 12:00 to 18:00 Then OFF
If Time 18:00 to 00:00 Then ON
This program will alternately power Pump 1 and Pump 2 to create a tidal back
and forth flow. The same effect can be achieved with If Time and If Outlet
statements to simplify the program a bit:
