I'm new to Apex to and I just figure out how to program feed cycle. If you already have your apex connect to your phone or your computer then to program feed cycle is pretty simple.
Apex has Feed A,B,C,D and each cycle is set to 5 min. For example, if you want to turn off return pump during Feed A cycle then you go to :
configuration --->outlet setup---> pick the outlet that your return pump is connect to. Under control type choose Advance, in the box you can use this code:
Fallback ON
Set ON
If FeedA 005 Then OFF
This mean when FeedA is activated then the return pump is OFF for 5 min and the "005" is a delay of another 5 min that the pump will be off. Total of 10min. But if you want only 5 min off during FeedA then you put "If FeedA 000 then OFF" then the pump will turn off for only 5min then will be turn on again.
and to change the feed cycle time for each FEED time then you go configuration---> misc setup---> and change feed interval from 5min to whatever you want.
ON the dashboard make sure the outlet for the return pump is on AUTO so that the program will be set.

Yes the computer,iPad and iPhone part I got that running. Port forwarding not to good. Need help on this one to. Tried twice already but no luck so I decided to skip it for a while. Got the text messaging alert running. Is there any site that give you all this program codes? I'd like to play around and get use with codes before I plug this in. Nothing is plug in to apex at this time until I get all straight out. My RKL is doing the DT controlling at this time.
That "005" number is minutes(Delay) added to the "Feed" mode.
So if you have "FeedA" set to 5 minutes, then you will be adding a 5 minute delay "On Top" of the 5 minute "Feed" cycle for a total of 10 mins.
If you want your return pump to turn on as soon as "FeedA" is done your code should look like this:
If FeedA 000 Then OFF
Like Aznp said if you go into misc settings you can program how long you want each feed cycle to last
Here's how I have my FeedA set up
FeedA is set to 5 minutes
(You can change this time under misc settings..
My Return Pump is set:
If FeedA 000 Then OFF
My ATO is set:
If FeedA 002 Then OFF
My Skimmer is set:
If FeedA 005 Then OFF
So when I select FeedA:
My return pump is off for a total of 5 minute.
My ATO is off for a total of 7 minute
And my skimmer is off for a total of 10 mins.
This gives my sump the to stabilize the water level.
My FeedB is set longer at 15 mins
(I use this one for water changes)
My Return Pump is set:
If FeedB 000 Then OFF
My ATO is set:
If FeedB 002 Then OFF
My Skimmer is set:
If FeedB 005 Then OFF
So when I select FeedB:
My return pump is off for a total of 15 minute.
My ATO is off for a total of 17 minute
And my skimmer is off for a total of 20 mins.
