View Full Version : setting up return pump and ato
I've finally made the jump from my long time neptune jr to Profilux. I need help setting up my return pump and ATO (a separate unit)
The return pump is on the digital powerbar S6. How do I program this to stay on but needs to go off during feeding or maintaince.
The ATO is on S5. I need to set this like how I had it on my jr where it comes on for 5 min every 45 min. It also needs to go off during feeding.
Thanks in advance.
For the return just set the mode of S6 to "Filter" and make sure that the Filter is off on feed pause (under the Pumps). Also set S6 to off on maintenance mode.
For the ATO (I take it you have a level sensor for the ATO if you do not I would highly recommend it).
To have it come on for 5 min every 45 min is a little tricky as each timer can only switch 8 times a day so you will need to use 3 timers (using allot of programmable logic)
Here is an example of on for 5min every hour
Timer 1
0:00 - 0:05
1:00 - 1:05
2:00 - 2:05
3:00 - 3:05
4:00 - 4:05
5:00 - 5:05
6:00 - 6:05
7:00 - 7:05
Timer 2
8:00 - 8:05
9:00 - 9:05
10:00 - 10:05
11:00 - 11:05
12:00 - 12:05
13:00 - 13:05
14:00 - 14:05
15:00 - 15:05
Timer 3
16:00 - 16:05
17:00 - 17:05
18:00 - 18:05
19:00 - 19:05
20:00 - 20:05
21:00 - 21:05
22:00 - 22:05
23:00 - 23:05
Programmable Logic 1
Function: Or
Input1: Timer1
Input2: Timer2
Programmable Logic 2
Function: Or
Input1: Timer3
Input2: Programmable Logic 1
(This will turn off the ATO on feed pause)
Programmable Logic 3
Function: And
Input1: Filter
Input2: Programmable Logic 2
Now just set your S5 to Programmable Logic 3
Thanks for the input. I will look into this.
