ATO Programming

Post by maleci »

I was looking at the single and double ato functions and neither seemed to really do what I was wanting. I picked up one of the pressure ato systems from avast marine to use in the sump and plan to use the second float switch in the ato reservoir. I want the pump to turn on when the sump switch is activated and turn off when it turns off, but have the 2nd float switch in the reservoir be able to override the pump turning on when the reservoir level gets low to prevent running the pump dry and send an email notification that the reservoir has been depleted. What options are there to accomplish this since it seems the standard ato functions don't look like a good fit.

The easiest way of doing this is setup the high ato for single ato and use the portal to send the email notifications.
Although,the ato function has a timeout function that disables the ato function to prevent it for running dry.
Do you have the portal configured too?

I also have similar setup. I use the avast sensor on single ato:

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.SingleHighATO(Port1);

Yeah, but using the single ato function would only run off the 1 unit. How do you use the 2nd as a sensor for when the reservoir is depleted to override turning on the pump again?

Try this:

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.SingleaowATO(Port1);
if (ReefAngel.LowATO.IsActive()) ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Port1);
