2nd Float Switch

I am looking to set up a second float switch which will trigger if the sump fills up and will kill the relay for my return pump. I have had a few pumps seizes recently and I would like to cut power to avoid them overheating or worse.
Any ideas on coding for this application.

Try this:
Code: Select all
ReefAngel.Relay.Set(Port1,ReefAngel.HighATO.IsActive());

Thanks
What if that current port is listed as "always on ", will I have to change that.
Do I have to use "if" statements like this
Code: Select all
if (ReefAngel.HighATO.IsActive()) ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Port5); else ReefAngel.Relay.On(Port5);

Roberto will correct me if I am wrong but no you don't. His command says to set something based on the state of something else...HighATO. If that is not active then do what the main code says.

They are both the same thing
Just different ways of coding, but if you understand better the way you recommended, feel free to use it
