Optical Sensor Setup

[rbarr110]

Ok, so I feel kind of dumb that I cant figure this out. I am ading an optical sensor to my ATO reservoir and I cant figure out how to get fusion to identify the sensor. I plugged the sensor to my ATK FMM port 3, but don't see it being recognized anywhere. Do I need to go through any process within Fusion to add the sensor?

Try this:
1. Click the Apex menu, then click Modules
2. Click your FMM module from the list
3. Select Configure from the Action dropdown list
4. Look at the 4 port settings. If Auto detection isn't detecting the correct sensor type, then clear the Auto checkbox and manually set port 3 to Optical Sensor
5. Save the settings to Apex
6. Unlock the dashboard and look in your Unused Tiles section to find the optical sensor, then drag it to your dashboard

So I believe I found the switch, but unsure if it is working as I took the sensor in and out of water and there was no change of the open/closed. My ATK is on aquabus 4, so I believe the sensor was labeled SWX4_3 (x4 is the aquabus and _3 is the port on the FMM module?) What else, if anything do I need to do to make it work?

I unchecked AUTO detect, and manually selected optical sensor.

Also, ensure the plug is fully seated in the FMM module.

Fully seated, but still no change in open/closed.... wondering if this sensor is bad.

Plug it in, configure the module to name the sensor and make it optical type and then check your unused tile bin if you don't see the status tile.

Ok, got the sensor to work, but had to move it to FMM port 4. So will this work to turn off my ATK when the water level is low? (optical sensor named "ATOLVL") Only adding the last line of code to the default code.

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If ATO_ON OPEN Then ON
If Swx4_2 CLOSED Then OFF
When On > 005:00 Then OFF
Defer 000:10 Then ON
Defer 000:04 Then OFF
Min Time 060:00 Then OFF
If ATOLVL OPEN Then Off

Yes. Though common practice is to put the line before the global statements (defer, min time, when) so it doesn't get cluttered if you add other things later.
