I have an Apex pro and i would like to program my return pump to shut off when the liquid level sensor is outside of perimeters. Does anyone know how to program this?

Thank you in advance!

Do you mean when sump is low? Been long time since I programmed an Apex. I have Hydros but I do think the following will work:

Whatever you call the switch in this case SumpLo is switch name.

I suggest creating a virtual outlet with a Defer to filter out splashing etc temporarily causing the switch to become open for a second or two.

virtual outlet (ignore the [ ] and #, they are just comments in my source library for my benefit).

[SumpLow]
# VO to detect if the sump water level is low
#
Set OFF
If SumpLo OPEN Then ON
Defer 001:00 Then ON

You then add the following line to your return pump code to turn it off.
If Outlet SumpLow = ON Then OFF
