    The FMM requires a 24VDC power supply. 12v will not work.

    The power supply for the FFM should not be plugged into an EnergyBar outlet.

    Your programming is also not right.

    Set OFF
    If Swx6_3 OPEN Then ON
    If Swx6_3 CLOSED Then OFF

    The last line does nothing of value. The Set OFF statement will cause the outlet to be OFF whenever Swx6_3 is not OPEN. Delete that last line.

    The last line is not a problem that would keep the PMUP from turning ON. It's simply not needed.

    That what the starting point for your code should be just to check if it runs properly. Make sure that code goes into the 24V port programming and not the energy bar outlet. The energy bar outlet should be set always ON or better yet just plug the 24V supply in the wall and save the use of that outlet.

    Once you get it to respond, your code should actually be like this and I highly suggest getting a second optical or float to act as a backup.

    Fallback OFF
    Set OFF
    If Switchname OPEN Then ON
    Defer 000:10 Then ON
    Defer 000:04 Then OFF
    When On > 005:00 Then OFF
    Min Time 060:00 Then OFF
