I want to turn off one socket (my skimmer) when a level sensor registers a high water level in the sump, and trigger an alarm. It is possible? What is the correct setting to do that?

Thank you very much.

This operating mode for level sensor should work:

"Leakage detection
If the is activated, ProfiLux assumes a leakage and triggers an alarm. As long as there is no alarm, the switchable
socket with function Water fill is switched on, in case of an alarm switched off."

This would be "Leakage detection" for the level sensor and "Water fill" as socket function.

Different question on alarms and level sensors and ATO

-Sump has varying level depending on if skimmer and or reactor is on.
-I created timers for skimmer/reactor so that a window of time every few hours has only the main pump running, thus giving me a baseline water level. This functions properly if I lift sensor in out of water during that period.
-during normal operation my water level sits below the ATO level sensor. this is causing it to alarm.
-when I go to level control (in the pcc beta) I reset alarm, it switches to fill indication, waits the 30 second timeout, and back into alarm.
-in the edit window of Level sensor "3". I have "reset alarm automatically" checked
-I also tried to uncheck "always on" and the "activated through" set to 2. which I assume is the number of the programmable logic gate. (it is very unclear if this is what the activated through option refers to)
-for reference. logic 1 confirms skimmer and reactor pumps are off. logic 2 confirms logic 1 is satisfied and that level sensor is calling for fill.

am I doing it wrong?
thanks in advance.

I think " actives through " is refer to timer.
