Video Guide for AWC & ATO Beta release

Please find below a NON official (meaning not GHL) Video guide for AWC and ATO.

http://youtu.be/E5hQ87zMkYI

Quick video note - Sensor 1 was set as the top sensor and Sensor 2 as the bottom sensor.

I am calling this Beta release as it has not been tested on an aquarium with pumps attached only on a test bed using two float sensors, however as you will see from the video the sockets switch as they should and I see no reason why it should not work in the field.

PLEASE post your feedback with any comments and suggestions how this could be improved if at all required.

Once I have some good working feedback i will add this to our own North American support forum along with the other guides I have done.

Sorry. But I can't see a link?

I've gone over the settings 10 times and I still can't get it to work. Won't even start draining.

In the video do you see the sockets switching? Providing you have exact same settting it will work, however based on email correspondance we have always suspected your sensor it always have been erratic so we will continue your support by email to resolve.

No, the sockets are not switching.
Just the ATO socket (G3).

Your issue has always been unique, I believe and always have done either you have a fulty sensor or your rubber made bucket (black) is compromising the sensor.

we must continue your individual case as direct support. I have replied to your email

Here is a screen shot set up guide

As stated previously you must be aware of what is sensor 1 and what is sensor 2 in your set up to avoid sensor being in switched drain and fill positions.

I would like to know how to set third level sensor ( 1 & 2 used for min-max level control ) for lowest level control during drain-off ?

I have asked GHL for clarity on how you use 2 sensors for the second port in AWC, my assumption is you would out numerical value 2 in the sensor 2 box as per the screen shot above. But without clarity I cant be sure how the connection is configured.

Oh thanks for your prompt reply, I've tried above setting and working perfectly. It will be fine to have a min-max level control as well.

Great, thanks for your feedback.

I plan to put a comprehensive guide together within the month (this month is very busy for us with the release of the Mitras over here in NA)

Many thanks for everyone who has emailed us about the guide and its usefulness.

Michael,

Just tried the ato and awc.....having some issues.....I am using the expansion box with my p3.... I have sensors connected to a splitter and then into expansion box....I assume these are sensors 3 and 4? What do I enter in as sensor 1 and sensor 2?

Without having an expansion box set up right now, it will be trial an error as the manual does not mention this portion.

My suggestion would be to enter 3 and 4, the other option is set set up under control 3 as 1 and 2

Ok.....does it look like I have it setup under control 3 now, but as 3 and 4???
Should I change that?

yep try as 3 and 4

Ok this is what I have I believe.......

If you look at my screen shots....I have control cir... #3 set to ato & water change (#1).... If you click edit then I have another screen shot showing I have sensor 1 set to 3 and sensor 2 set to 4.....something is wrong though.....not even activating the ato....

I have not yet had a chance to look at a set up using the expansion box, however it can not be that much more different

You may find in your drop down box you see level (2) I am not sure.

The guide above will give you the correct configuration its just a matter of working out how to assign the expansion level ports.

I will ask GHL if they can give some direction on this.

Ok thank you Michael.....I am going to continue playing around with it.....some other support is much appreciated!

I have noticed that if I set my sensor 1 to 11 and sensor 2 to 4 then it calls for rodi ato fill.....this happens no matter what control cir... Number I choose.....look at these pics....

It's like as though I just don't have the right sensor setup.....weird though it calls for fill when sensors as setup that way and yet when setup as 3 and 4 nothing happens.....

Now that I have reset my pab and reassigned my devices it is now working properly.....however, the optical sensor is extremely sensor....it constantly actives and then deactivates constantly for about a second.....is there anyway to change this so it will activate less often but for a little longer time??

Yes, look down below when in level control. Change the number in the column that says Reaction Time. Try 2 or 3 seconds.

Ok thanks I will try that....it is currently set to 1 second.....I am worried that by doing this it will also affect my awc because I only have the two sensors and have them used as sensor 1 and sensor 2 in the ato & awc feature under levels in the software.....how will this affect awc??


Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

I dunno? Give it a shot. If the AWC doesn't work afterwards, maybe that's why I never got the AWC to work for me! Probably not, but who knows.

Did u start a thread regarding your awc issue?? Do you have same setup as me?? I mean like are u using two optical sensors for ato & awc??


Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Yes (except I was using one optical and one float), but as you can see in the other thread I started on the N.A. forum, I decided it wasn't really for me so I do it a bit differently.
