APEX Day of the week/order of programming question

saf · 04/21/2010, 07:07 PM

I have an Apex and I am trying to run a pump on Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday for one minute. Where is the DoW command inserted into the Apex programming? Here is my program:

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Time 18:01 to 18:02 Then ON
If DoW S-TW-F- Then ON

So does the DoW command come before our after the desired time that I want the outlet on?

Thanks,

Scott

What you have will make the pump turn on at 1800 each day, and also turn on all day long on Sun, Tue, Wed, & Fri.

Change to:
If DoW -M--T-S Then OFF

This makes it so the pump will NOT come on on the days you don't want it to be on.

Is that the right order? Time first then DoW? So it would be:

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If DoW -M--T-S Then OFF
If Time 18:01 to 18:02 Then ON

You had the order right the first time

I want to do just the opposite as the OP in this old thread.

I want to turn my skimmer off for 30 minutes, once per week to try and prevent salt buildup in the venturi.

how do I do a DoW and specific time to be off? Do I actually need to specific all the time it should be ON?

I forgot about this, but still not sure how to tell the skimmer I want it to turn off for 1hr on Monday at 9am?

if Dow M 09:00- 10:00 then off ??

If Time 09:00 to 10:00 then OFF
If DOW S-TWTFS Then ON

If will turn the outlet OFF at 9 but only on Monday since all the other days in the DOW statement will evaluate to TRUE and the outlet will remain ON. Since Monday is false (-) then the DOW statement does not evaluate to true and the outlet goes OFF.

perfect, thank you!

Reviving this thread. I want the same thing..

I'm using

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If DoW S-TW-FS Then OFF
If Time 00:00 to 23:59 Then ON

In my DoS pump advanced settings.

Also my interval setup looks like this:

Let me know what you guys think!
