Help programing the apex

[Rogger Castells]

I am having trouble helping a friend program one of his outlets on his apex, all he needs is to be able to turn a pump on and of at three times a day for 1/2hr each time, so it will be like ths

pump normally off, except the following times

00:00 to 00:30 pump on

08:00 to 08:30 pump on

16:00 to 16:30 pump on

I have all the outlets available so please help me program this, please keep in mind that I am not familiar with apex as I use aquatronica on my tank but I am trying to help my friend that it is completely techtarded, TIA.

There's 2 ways you can do it. These would be for the pump outlet.

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Time 00:00 to 00:30 Then ON
If Time 08:00 to 08:30 Then ON
If Time 16:00 to 16:30 Then ON

Second choice assuming you want them staggered 8 hours apart is a bit simpler:

Fallback OFF
OSC 450:00/0:30/00 Then ON

Either one would work for what you want to do.

Thank You, I did that but every time I will try to set up the times it will create another line, how do you delete an entry?

Use the advanced mode when programming an outlet instead of the wizards. It's listed there along with pump, light, etc. It works like a normal text editor and you just enter the code you want.

Slight error, Time is HH:MM and OSC is MM:SS so the second example should be:

OSC 450:00/30:00/00 Then ON
