I've got an outlet set up to control a solenoid valve to refill my ATO reservoir. It's been in place for a couple of weeks, and it's working, but I'm finding from time to time when I sign on to Fusion that the outlet is set to 'OFF' rather than 'AUTO'. First couple of times, I just figured that I'd somehow switched it without noticing, but it's happened too often for that. It's not happening every time the ATO reservoir refill cycle completes, but almost ever time.
APEX Classic, EB8, outlet number 6, powering a 110vac solenoid from AirWaterIce.
ATO_Lo is a normally open float switch that goes closed when water hits low level
ATO_Hi is a normally open float switch that goes closed when water hits high level
(There is a float valve incorporated, for safety.)
Timer to catch excessive length run times.
I'm trending the outlet, run times are normally 130 minutes or so. I've yet to see a 150 minute cycle, indicating that the upper limit switch is completing the cycle.
BOB is a DIY version, I know, probably can't support that, but I'm not having problems reading the two level sensors.
To restate, everything running fine, until I open Fusion, and find this outlet in 'OFF' position. Any way I can tell what made it turn off? Is there perhaps a safety feature that will turn the outlet off if certain electrical conditions are encountered? If so, there could easily be something wrong with the solenoid... just a cheap valve I picked up. I noted the other day that ATO_Lo was CLOSED and that the outlet was OFF. Manually switched it back to AUTO, and the refill cycle started normally.
Programming:
Fallback OFF
If ATO_Lo CLOSED Then ON
If ATO_Hi CLOSED Then OFF
When On > 150:00 Then OFF
