Please Help Apex ATO Programming not working

[Jyetman]

This is what I have program wise and the float is used as shut off when closed. I need the outlet to be in the off state when Sw5 is closed. As for the OSC command I have a gravity fed algae scrubber and the water levels in the scrubber vary so a simple ATO system in the display tank won't work. What am I doing wrong?

Fallback OFF
OSC 000:00/000:03/010:00 Then ON
If Sw5 CLOSED Then OFF

There's an apex users group somewhere if you look you'll find it. Also you can email your question to Neptune support.

Can you explain what is "not working"? i.e. What behavior are you seeing.

The float is in the display tank I want it to shut off the OSC command when triggered in the closed position. It isn't doing that OSC continues to run regardless of Switch5 position. I do not want the float to control the on/off top off system only to shut off the OSC command which controls outlet 6. The OSC is a safety net I can slowly adjust for evaporation the float Switch can shut it off if high level is reached. I don't trust floats they fail the OSC gives me time to adjust the level accordingly.

Try renaming the switch to something like "topoff".

The switch command is working performed a test trial while closed. The problem is the water turbulence is causing the switch to alternate between open and closed to rapidly. Apex only sees a closed condition when it remains closed apparently for a certain length of time so the OSC continues as if the switch is open.
