ATO question

[willper]

For some reason my ATK stopped its function and the water level in in the return sump section dropped. I was not home and my daughter called and said that the tank was full of bubbles. I turned my ATO on and added water to the sump which covered my return pump and stopped the air bubbles.

My question is, can I add a line of code to the email alarm that will tell me if the ATO does not activate for a period of time. this will give me time to add water until I am home to fix the problem.

Here are the settings for my ATO:

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Swx4_1 OPEN Then ON
If Swx4_2 CLOSED Then OFF
If Swx4_4 CLOSED Then OFF
When On > 005:00 Then OFF
Defer 000:10 Then ON
Defer 000:04 Then OFF
Min Time 120:00 Then OFF


Thank you for any help you can give

Yep

ATOstuck
Set OFF
If LowSw OPEN Then ON
Defer XXX:XX Then ON

In email
If Output ATOstuck = ON Then ON

You should also have

If Error ATOname Then ON

I'm kind of new with this stuff. Just wondering if my code is correct and in the proper order. This is located in the eb832 because I didn't have an extra a/c pug. I purchased a third optical sensor so I could use that as when the alarm comes on. I noticed to many alarms when the second sensor was closed.

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If ATK-LO OPEN Then ON
If ATK-HI CLOSED Then OFF
If ATK-BK CLOSED Then OFF
If RES-LO OPEN Then OFF
If Power Apex Off 005 Then OFF
When On > 003:00 Then OFF
Defer 000:10 Then ON
Defer 000:04 Then OFF
Min Time 060:00 Then OFF

my email alarm code is

Set OFF
If ATK-BK CLOSED Then ON
If FeedA 005 Then OFF
If FeedA 000 Then OFF
If Error ATK-FMM Then ON
If Error ATK-SYSTEM Then ON
If RES-LO OPEN Then ON
Defer 000:30 Then ON

I woke up this morning and instead of the atk showing on auto it was on off. No alarm. My sump was lower than then sensor 1. So I moved it to auto. It went on and filled it until sensor two was closed but sensor 1 still shows open. As the water went down sensor 2 then showed open so it's working. Sensor 1 is currently under water and it still shows open. I unplugged it and plugged it in again but no difference. What happened? Did the sensor go bad. I just got the system a little over a week ago. Should I take my third sensor which I have in my sump as a back up and replace sensor 1?

It's possible you got a bad optical, but more likely it isn't plugged in all the way. Make sure it clicks when you plug it in.

You can verify if an optical is bad by using a multimeter on the diode setting and checking it like this. It should read approximately 1V
