    ATO/NSW Refill Programming

    I perform ATO and refill of my new salt water (NSW) tank directly from my RODI unit controlled by solenoids. My programming is as follows:

    ATO

    Fallback OFF
    Set OFF
    If SmpFil CLOSED Then ON
    If SmpHI OPEN Then OFF
    When On > 008:00 Then OFF
    If T_Salt < 33.0 Then OFF

    NSW Refill

    Fallback OFF
    If NSW_Lo CLOSED Then ON
    If NSW_HI OPEN Then OFF
    If Output ATO_4_4 = ON Then OFF

    I added the last line of code under NSW Refill because when I am refilling the NSW reservoir my RODI can't do the ATO and that refill at the same time. I want to have the Apex temporarily close the solenoid to the NSW refill and open the ATO solenoid to replace the evaporated water in the display. When complete, the ATO solenoid closes and the NSW solenoid opens to continue refilling the NSW Refill. When I tested this today the ATO opened and completed its task but the NSW solenoid did reopen. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

    Did you mean to write that the NSW solenoid did *not* reopen?

    If so, that would be expected. If the NSW refill process started and ran long enough for the low sensor to be OPEN, and then was interrupted by the ATO refill running, the NSW refill will not restart until the low sensor is once again CLOSED.
    Please do not send me PMs with technical questions or requesting assistance - use the forums for Apex help. PM me ONLY if the matter is of a private or personal nature. Thanks.

    Yes you are correct. The low sensor is OPEN so I understand how the process was interrupted. Is there programming that will interrupt the fill process when the ATO operates and then restart the NSW fill until the NSW_HI is OPEN?
