Apex ATO programming

[letoan]

Hi everyone!

Trying to help a friend to setup his Apex for auto top off, just finished the DIY breakout box for him... I have no idea where to start with the programming part, sorry, I'm not familiar with the Apex system. The way I programmed my ReefKeeper is that if the float switch trip, the ato pump will run until float closed or 30 seconds regardless if the switch closed or not and repeat the process 30 minutes later. Can I do the same with the Apex?

Thanks,

I use an OSC command that by default will run the ATO for 2 minutes every two hours. Below that I have a couple of different conditions that will essentially override that and cause the pump to remain off. They are: float switch and salinity (I have a conductivity probe).

This sort of sets things up to minimize likelihood of catastrophic failure by requiring multiple parts of the system to fail simultaneously.
