Apex Classic Setup and Programming Guide v2.2 Page 55
The Minimum Time command will keep an outlet in the on or off state for a
minimum amount of time. For example, in the Light Wizard, when the light is
turned off because the tank temperature rose above the Off Temp, the Minimum
Time command is used to keep the lights off for a minimum of 30 minutes to
prevent the light outlet from being switched on and off rapidly when the
temperature is hovering around the set point. See Appendix 3 – Programming
Reference for more information on the Minimum Time command.
DEFER
The Defer command will defer turning on or off an outlet for a period of time.
Take the float switch example above, when the switch position to fill the tank is
encountered, the Defer command can delay turning on the automatic top off
pump until the switch is continuously in the fill position for a certain amount of
time to ensure the level has dropped sufficiently. See Appendix 3 – Programming
Reference for more information on the Defer command.
PROGRAMMING ALARMS AND WARNINGS
The AquaController Apex can sound audible alarms and warning from the Apex
Display modules, send email alarms and be programmed to switch outlets on in
the case of an alarm condition. Programming the alarm and warning set points is
similar to using the Advanced Programming mode for an outlet. At the very
beginning of the outlet program, the following statement must be placed:
Set OFF
This command initializes the alarm or warning outlet in the off state and will reset
the alarm or warning outlet when the alarm condition subsides.
The Apex alarm outlets are as follows:
SndAlm_I6 – when this outlet is triggered, the Apex Display will sound the
Alarm tone as configured in the section titled Sound Setup.
SndWrn_I7 – when this outlet is triggered, the Apex Display will sound the
Warning tone as configured in the section titled Sound Setup.
EmailAlm_I5 – when this outlet is triggered, the Apex system will send an
alarm email to the email address(s) as configured in the section titled Email
Setup.
Any Outlet - – when this outlet is triggered, the outlet will power any item
plugged in (beeper, lamp, etc.)
