ato time out

Post by Ademster »

is there a way to eliminate the time out for the ato?

the way I have my ato system set up it would be impossible for it to flood the sump.

and trying to remember to check the flags is a pain.

thanks in advance

Just set it high enough that it would never get triggered...and if it did it might just save your tank :) but regardless the only way would be to not use the ATO function and just turn on/off the relay based on your criteria (float switch status/water level/etc)

I have set at the max of 255.

How would I code port 4 to turn on when water level reaches 95 and turn off when water level reaches 100?

Code: Select all

if (ReefAngel.WaterLevel.GetLevel()<95) ReefAngel.Relay.On(Port1);
If (ReefAngel.WaterLevel.GetLevel()>=100)
ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Port1);

Thanks Lnevo.

I discovered my problem. I thought I put 255. but only put 25 I didn't double tap good enough hahaha


all is working fine, I had it timed to fill and it should only take X time, was wondering why it was timing out before finishing.
