    Program return pump to delay after low water level sensor is tripped.

    Hello!



    Here is the current programming for my return pump outlet:

    Fallback ON
    Set ON
    If S_Low OPEN Then OFF
    If T1_Hi CLOSED Then OFF
    If T1_LK CLOSED Then OFF
    If T2_Hi CLOSED Then OFF
    If T2_LK CLOSED Then OFF

    How do I program this so that the pump stays off for at least 10 minutes after the S_Low sensor trips to OPEN (pump turns off), the T1_Hi trips to CLOSED, or the T2_Hi trips to CLOSED? I tried using the MIN command, but my programming must be incorrect.

    Is there a way to turn off the pump and wait for user input?
    For example, float switch is triggered so pump shuts off, tank drains into the sump causing the float switch to raise and the pump turns back on. Is there a way to keep the pump off?

    You need a virtual outlet to do that and your firmware must be current for this approach to work. you reset by turning the VO from manual ON to AUTO. Ex

    RtnOFF
    Set OFF
    (Conditions you want user lockout for)
    When ON > 000:01 Then ON

    Return
    (Existing code)
    If Outlet RtnOFF = ON Then OFF

    Email
    If Outlet RtnOFF = ON Then ON


    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.
