apex dosing ?

[e46er]

i want my cal and alk to run for 6:32 each altenating on the hour.
so alk at 12/2/4/6 ect and cal at 1/3/5/7 ect.

heres my program
cal
Fallback OFF
OSC 060:00/006:32/113:28 Then ON

alk
Fallback OFF
OSC 000:00/006:32/113:28 Then ON


problem is according to logs the cal is running at 1/4/7/10/1/4/7
and alk runs what I want at 12/2/4/6/8/10/12/2/4/8/8/10

isnt the OSC the offset from the starting point basically?


for calcium would I go something like
Fallback OFF
OSC 00:00/006:32/113:28 Then ON
if time 12:00 to 01:00 then off

yep so that doesnt work.
cal code
Fallback OFF
OSC 060:00/006:32/113:28 Then ON


cal runs 1/4/7/10/1/4/
alk ran properly 12/2/4/6/8/ect
alk code
Fallback OFF
OSC 000:00/006:27/113:33 Then ON
If Time 23:00 to 00:59 Then OFF


why does calcium run every 3 hours?

should it be
Fallback OFF
OSC 060:00/006:32/53:28 Then ON
delay power 60 min run 6 off 53 delay power 60 min?

I'm not an Apex expert, but to me your sum total of time in your initial Ca calculation is 180 min or 3 hrs. I think your last statement (OSC 060:00/006:32/53:28 Then ON) would work for every 2 hours

Ok thanks.
I set the code for that last night and turned the doser off but the log will tell me what it does.
I originally thought the osc was just a single delay but from my reading it's a delay when the outlet gets power so it was power on wait an hour dose 6 min off for 113 minutes then power back on then 1 hr delay.
Thanks!

thanks. For something so common I'm blown away how NOT user friendly it is. Im far from a computer geek but I feel Im fairly competent.
for the cost of it, it should be wifi ready and plug and play/drop down menus with everything.

Wow , sound a bit hard to figure it out, I just got one last week and I don't know if wanna switch the vertex libra I'm currently using seems way easier to set up
