ATO setup

I am a noob at this so please help me set this up properly
I would like to set the ATO up with one float switch in the sump and the other in the reservoir so the pump will not run dry when level gets to low in reservoir. I don't have room for a large reservoir and don't want the pump to burn up. How can I accomplish this. Also I would like an alert sent if the reservoir runs low. I guess it would run like a JBJ ATO. I saw a previous post about this subject matter but was not sure what needs to be inserted in the code or where. also if anything should be altered in the existing code
thanks

What port is your ATO pump connected to?

Try this:

Code: Select all

  ReefAngel.SingleATO(true,Port7,60,0); // Setup port 7 as ato using high ATO port
  if (ReefAngel.LowATO.IsActive()) ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Port7); // Override port 7 if low ATO port is active.

Do I add this at the end of the code? and does it matter how the float switches are used in relation to the float switch ports

Put the code inside the loop function in the section that says place custom code here.

If you switch the ports for the switches you need to use false instead of true for the SingleATO function.
