New Avast Marine ATO supports RA
Posted: Wed Nov 09, 2011 9:38 pm
Just ran across Avast Marine's new pressure sensitive ATO setup which comes in two models. A standard option that comes with its own relay box to trigger a top off pump, or a digital version which comes with a few different cable options for plugging into a variety of controllers. Sure enough, the Reef Angel is a cable connector option you can choose for purchase! It looks to be the same connector type that Roberto offers with his controller package.
It's very cool to see a big name company actively targeting Reef Angel as a controller option for their products. Congratulations, Roberto
I'm guessing it's just a plug and play setup and you can swap out the existing sensors with their version. The instruction manual doesn't specify anything specific for interfacing with the RA, so I'm guessing the RA will interpret it exactly the same as the standard sensors.
