    Overriding min time with ATK

    Hello, I use my PMUP with ATK to fill buckets for water changes (RODI reservoir in basement, tank upstairs). So far, I’ve just toggled the ATK to ON until my bucket is full, but I’d like to set up a timed ON to avoid overflowing the bucket when I get distracted. I can get the amount of water I need in 28 minutes, so I set “FeedD” to 28 minutes to trigger it, but my Min Time And When On commands keeps the ATK from turning on and staying on for 28 minutes. Is there a way to set it up so that the FeedD overrides the Min Time and When On commands? Is there a better way to accomplish this than using Feed Mode? Also need ATK to return to “Auto” after the 28 Min Thank you for your assistance

    current program for ATK:
    Fallback OFF
    Set OFF
    If LowH20 OPEN Then ON
    If HiH2O CLOSED Then OFF
    When On > 005:00 Then OFF
    Defer 000:10 Then ON
    Defer 000:04 Then OFF
    Min Time 060:00 Then OFF
    If FeedA 002 Then OFF
    If FeedB 003 Then OFF
    If FeedD 000 Then ON

    You will need to separate the two "modes" by using a virtual outlet:

    ATO {VO}
    Set OFF
    If LowH20 OPEN Then ON
    If HiH2O CLOSED Then OFF
    When On > 005:00 Then OFF
    Defer 000:10 Then ON
    Defer 000:04 Then OFF
    Min Time 060:00 Then OFF

    ATK {REAL}
    Fallback OFF
    Set OFF
    If Output ATO = ON Then ON
    If FeedA 002 Then OFF
    If FeedB 003 Then OFF
    If FeedD 000 Then ON

    I'm still on an older FW version and have not used the WHEN command, but I think it will work as intended.
