Folks,

I'm still having some issues trying to figure out how to do the following:

Shut my return, skimmer and ATO off for 20 minutes while feeding. I have played around with the programmable logic, and seem to be able to shut off my return pump when pressing esc (I'm guessing this activates feed mode) but the other two devices don't shut off. Oddly enough, in PLC, it does show those sockets as off, but on the Pbar itself, the sockets shown on, and the pumps dont sut off.

Here is how I programmed it:

G1 - Delayed On - Input 1 Filter

I then set the socket the pump is plugged into (in this case socket 11) to Programmable Logic 1. I did the same for the other two devices. Again, PLC shows those sockets as "off" but indeed they are not shutting off.

Any ideas? I'm sure I've got something setup wrong. Would love some help!

Cheers,
L3

for return and pump it is quite easy: set the socket function for them to "filter"

for ATO use prog. logic because you need 2 inputs:
logic 1 = water 1 AND filter
socketfunction where ATO pump/solenoid is connected = logic 1

don't forget the according pump settings for the feeding pause - set checkmark and enter 20 minutes
