It is in the left menu in the Smart reef system
...
When you click Actions it takes you have the to this panel:
...
How to start using itActions?
Please click ADD ACTION
Next you will have Action creation screen.
...
So on this step it is required to choose Kh keeper
...
Next step we : choose command from the list
...
The choise choice depends on usyou. If we you want to create the Action to add extra liquid when Kh level is bellow below the desired level, then we choose Kh is bellowbelow. When we want to skip part of next dose then please chose choose Kh is above. In the example I will show you both Actions.
Please choose Kh keeper is bellowbelow
Next please enter a value (when Kh keeper result will be bellow below the specyfic specific level of your desired Kh then the system will add an extra dose)
For this example I typed 7 (Kh)
...
Then we select the pump for the integration (we can do the some same Action several times for different pumps)
...
For the this example I have choosen chosen the Kh pump
...
Next we need to choose an Action which will be triggered when Kh level is bellow 7 (if you typed other Kh level then it will start how you set it)or any value you selected.
In this step you can see all the avaible available Actions. So for the lower Kh level we can use manual dose in ml or manual dose % from the last dosingdose.
...
We will choose manual dose % from the last dosing dose - it This means that when you your Kh level will be bellow below the 7 Kh level (you can set it like you want to) , then Dosing pump/s will add extra dose - % is based on the last dose.
...
For this example I typed there 30% so when Kh level is bellow below 7 the system will add an extra30% liquid calculated from the last dose. So if you last dose (before measurement) was 9 ml then Dosing pump will add extra 3 ml.
The Enter delay are minutes of pump function is the number of minutes the pump will delay. This feature is helpfull helpful when you have 2 or more pumps. We don’t want to add all the liquids at one time. So when you add the next pump to the Action please type specyfic specific delay here, for instance 2 minutes. So the second one pump will dose 2 minutes after the first one. When pumps there are more then than two, then the next pump should be also delayed. See below example. You can set delay like thatin this way:
Pump 1: 0
Pump 2: 2
Pump 3: 4
...
Next please click OK
If you want to add next another pump to the Action please click ADD TASK but if . If you don’t want to add more then please click the SAVE button
...
Congratulation Congratulations! your first Action is made. Now when your Kh level is bellow below the desired level you set then the Dosing pump will add the extra dosequantity.
Next I will show you how to configurate configure Action when Kh level is above specyfic specific result.
Again please click ADD ACTION
...
Next please choose Kh keeper from the list
...
Please select Kh is above
Enter Kh level - above this level Dosing pump/s will skip next dose or part of it. For the example I typed 8 (Kh)
...
Then we choose skip part of next dose
...
Then please click OK
...
Congratulation Congratulations you have just added the second Action to your integration. Now when the Kh level result is above the desired level you can set the Dosing pump will to skip part of next dose. For instance when Kh keeper result will be above 8 like as in this example, then part of next dose from the chosen Dosing pump is skipped (1-100%).
...
