Why won't email alarm turn off?

[MJDiP]

Hi All,

I finally got my email alarm set up and I have this simple code controlling it:

Set OFF
If Power EB8_3 Off 000 Then ON

How do I get the alarm status to turn back OFF once power is restored? The re-email delay is set at 60 minutes and I get a new email every hour, even after the power comes back on.

Thanks!

If that's exactly what you have on the email outlet, that's correct. There's something else going on.

Wow, before I typed the last post, the alarm was manually turned OFF... I decided to give it another shot and turned it back to AUTO. This is what I got (completely different from my past results):

So obviously, something is bouncing... I'm still at the office, so I can't see what the tank is doing.

What's the alarm message - is it the same every time?

Also; if the firmware up to date on the EB8? There was an update to EB8 firmware to fix a power fail check and you could be hitting that. The email you get should indicate the line in the program triggering the email, that might help.

Yes, the email is the same every time:

Alarm Statement: If Power EB8_3 Off 000 Then ON

I'll try the firmware update later tonight...

Thanks guys!
