Need help with coding. On my ro system I have a 1/4 flow sensor along with a selenoid valve.
I would like for the selenoid valve to shut off if flow sensor detects water flow for to long.

Assuming your RO Is actually high enough flow to trigger the 3 gph min of the flow sensor. And you want it to latch in.
VOname
Set OFF
If Flow > X Then ON
Defer XXX:XX Then ON
When On > 000:01 Then ON
Defer 000:02 Then OFF
In solenoid add
If Output VOname = ON Then OFF
The VO will latch to Manual ON If the flow X is exceeded longer than the defer length.
You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.
im sorry i dont know what VOname is
and all the "x's" is a time i would like to put?
VOname is whatever you name the virtual outlet. X in the defer is time, X in the flow is your desired minimum flow (3 is the lowest for that size meter).

i cant tell the valve to shut off after 4 hours if it detects a flow of 3 or over?
You can as long as your RO Is at least 3 gph. Like this
VOname
Set OFF
If Flow > 2 Then ON
Defer 240:00 Then ON
When On > 000:01 Then ON
Defer 000:02 Then OFF
In solenoid add
If Output VOname = ON Then OFF

might be a bad idea for me to have this coming off my main of the house and before the booster. i might fry the booster. i think the best spot will be after the pressure switch for the solenoid valve and the flow sensor before the pump. it reads 14 gph there
VOname
Set OFF
If Flow > 2 Then ON
Defer 240:00 Then ON
When On > 000:01 Then ON
Defer 000:02 Then OFF
this goes on the solenoid configuration correct?
you say:
in solenoid add
if out put VOname= on then off
dont understand where this goes
In your solenoids code. Wherever that is plugged in. And rename VOname to whatever will make sense to you later. I don't know what your current solenoid program is, but you would just add that to the end.

just got done also talking with brs. and found my set up to be flawed to my liking. i wanted a solenoid valve right at my main source of water in case my ro station gets a leak. shutting off water before the booster will not allow for the boosters pressure switch to trip and turn off the booster.
i.e. the booster will run indefinetly until a possible melt down im guessing.
for now i will just save the code maybe move the valve
was thinking the same thing haha maybe a future expense
having problem with the code.
Set OFF
If water > 0.2 Then on
Defer 001:00 Then ON "testing"
When On > 000:01 Then on
Defer 000:02 Then OFF
let it run for 5 min and it still stayed on
i put this code in the solenoid configuration.
sorry im still not sure with virtual outlet is..
is there a thread that i can read and teach me all the lingo?
You add one like this
You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.
Name it what you want, and the solenoid code should be
Fallback OFF
Set ON
If Outlet VOname = ON Then OFF

thanks zombie it all works. i will have much tougher coding questions coming.
their isnt anything i can read to learn the lingo? so i can shorten the time to get a problem solved?
The vast majority is names that come from the Neptune Documentation.

It's a good idea to skim through the CRM and the manuals for any modules you own and you should have a very good grasp of everything. Some jargon just kinda evolves from this forum and other reef forums though especially abbreviations.

i keep hearing a single click sound from the solenoid valve maybe every hour. i think something is in the code causing this
rovalveFallback OFF
Set ON
If Output VOname = ON Then OFF
If leakRO CLOSED Then OFF
vo_name
Set OFF
If water > 2.0 Then ON
Defer 120:00 Then ON
When On > 000:01 Then ON
Defer 000:02 Then OFF
Is your leak sensor picking?
Also, you should probably rename VO_name. That gave me a good chuckle that you just left that placeholder name as the actual name

no its been doing this before i put it on
haha ya i need to change it. that was back when i knew 0 of what im doing
so looking at the log "finally found"
it only shows for today idk why tho its been on for a week
so today
on @21:30
off @21:34
on@ 21:43
