Sanity Check on my code change

[jdeveaux]

Just want to make sure I'm understanding Max Change.

Went through the examples here and on your website but I'm going to be out of town and I want to keep my top off from cycling on and off.

If SwitchA2 CLOSED     Then TOP ON 
If SwitchA2 OPEN       Then TOP OFF
Max Change 120 M      Then TOP OFF

With this setting this should only allow my top-off to run if it has been off for 120 minutes and it wont let it run more than 120 minutes?

:hmm3:

You are half correct. Max Change...OFF will keep Timer TOP OFF for a minimum of 120 minutes after SwitchA2 OPEN becomes true. However, it can run indefinitely, as long as SwitchA2 CLOSED is true. I don't believe the AC3 has a command that would set a maximum run time.

Thank You .. .After digesting the code samples a bit further it looks like I could work a max run time in using a dummy timer, but I'm not too worried about the max run time. I just wanted to kill the cycling. I have two backup switches mounted above the primary to kill the top off if one of them closes. I like to wear my suspenders with a belt :lol:

Working hard to fill my piggy bank for the new apex controller later this year. :rollface:
