Apex keeps emailing/text every hour about temp.

[Reefahholic]

I have a Jager 300w on my 90g with 40g sump. I don't think it's dipping below 74 degrees. I have a temp sticker and it's always at 78.

Is there a reason it would email me every hour only for low temp.

I've dropped the alarm to 70 and it's still emailing every hour. I'm gonna hook up my temp probe tonight since it doesn't need to be calibrated like the PH probe. At my girlfriends house right now across town, so can't check the tank.

Your jprogram says to send email if temp is less than 76, not 70. The program is a series of steps and the controller reacts to each statement independent of the others.

When it reads If temp <76 than ON. It looks at the temp and if 75.0 or less then out goes the email. Then it read the nest line. Mag9_3 may be on but the email has already gone out.

[Reefahholic]

I changed it back to 76 from 70 because I kept dropping the temp thinking that maybe it was dipping low due to my house being cold. Once it was still emailing at 70, I knew that wasn't the problem.

[Reefahholic]

How about this email alarm setup?


Set OFF
If TankTmp > 79.0 Then ON
If TankTmp < 75.0 Then ON
If SumpTmp > 79.0 Then ON
If SumpTmp < 75.0 Then ON
If Outlet CO2_Empty = ON Then ON
If Power EB8_3 Off 000 Then ON
If Power EB8_4 Off 000 Then ON
If Power EB4_5 Off 000 Then ON
If Power EB8_6 Off 000 Then ON
If Power EB8_7 Off 000 Then ON
If Outlet SumpHigh = ON Then ON
If Outlet SumpLow = ON Then ON
If Outlet WaterBug = ON Then ON
If Outlet FreshSaltLow = ON Then ON
If Outlet TopOffFail = ON Then ON
Defer 001:00 Then ON

So look, I set it up this morning. It emailed me twice and woke me up, so I turned it off. Turned it back on after lunch and there it went again. Every hour. Weird...can't be right. Hmm...

Try posting in the Neptune thread in the Sponsors area. They are very good about responding

[ryeguyy84]

What do the emails say? Usually the first line will tell you the email reason. Did you turn the outlet to on or auto?

Just says that temp is < than anything I set it to.
"Alarm Statement: If Temp < 76.0 Then ON"

I'm going home shortly. I hope my brand new jäger heater didn't die.

For it to be every hour exactly has me wondering.

It's set to auto.

It defaults to 60 minute intervals so that sounds about right. What do you have your heater set to?

What is the reason in the email? First line of the text here's one I got for my topoff container

[Reefahholic]

Heater is set to 78. Alarms at <76 and >80.

I listed the email message above.

I think it may be because my temp probe isn't plugged in.

Tried to program it to read heater temp, but when you tell it temp, I think it's programmed to read temp probe and not my Outlet Jager_5

[ryeguyy84]

The controller can't read the temp on the heater it can only read the probe. It will turn the heater outlet on at set temps. What does your heater program look like.

You will need to plug in your temp probe

Yeah, I think we just figured it out.

Here's some advanced programming if your interested.
