Hello, I have a question regarding programming of an outlet for a max run (on) time. I have a DIY ATO running off a 12v fountain pump with float switches wired in. I just set up my apex and haven't gotten around to making a BOB yet so i'm using my old ATO for now. I figured since the possibilities are endless with these controllers, why not try to add another bit of redundancy to my current ATO.
Ok, on to my question... Basically I was to set my ATO outlet (which is just a 12v power adapter for small pump) to shut off after 15 seconds of running or something like that. It takes literally 2-3 seconds to top my return section off but 15 seconds is just a number I figured would be best. My main concern is burning my pump up in case I run the top off container dry. I have a second float switch for too high of water level as well but a timer would be better.
TLDR; What code do I put into an outlet to turn off that outlet after 15 seconds? Possibly defer time after feedB (water change mode). Right now I have the outlet set to always on.
