program leakage sensor

Hello,

I bought the leakage sensor and interface, now i want to use logical programming to switch one or more sockets ( main pump skimmer etc) is this possible or most i do it otherwise?

Many thanks for your help.

Eugene

Would love to know this myself. The actual program logic would be very helpful.

Hi Guys,
I have tried to find a way to do this using ATO command or something along along those lines.
But because it is set as a level sensor, it means when it activates it will have a maximum on time which would not work to switch off pumps etc?
Programmable logic does not have an imput for leakage detection, which is one of the operational modes for the level sensor.
GHL need to program this in.
Maybe GHL can provide another method of controlling pumps etc from the leakage detection sensor, but they need to provide examples on how this can be done.

This comes back to the other thread in Reefcentral. PL is limited in that only functions that GHL have determined can be used. Their completitor with their programming functions (while harder to understand initially) has a lot more flexibility.

I do not have a leakage sensor unit, but when I do, I will pick up an aftermarket one that uses a digital on/off only. Connect this to a digital input on the profilux and then you can do a lot more. (Unless GHL actually do come up with a way to control pumps and other hardware with the leakage sensor)

no one from ghl? can it be programmed?

Hello Eugene,

could you please explain more detailed which function you need? How shall it work exactly?

It is generally possible to activate a socket depending on the status of the leakage sensor, without programmable logic.

Hi Carolin,

Then I dont know how to do it/programm it. I still not know how the leakage sensor en interface are working! do they automaticly stop the filling? I installed it on level 3 connector.
I want to control sockets to stop also when the leakage sensor detects water.

Please help me out. Many thx

Here the description of the function, hope it's more clear then:

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 functionWater fill is switched on, in case of an alarm switched off.

Carolin, if you note his first post, he wants to turn off a return pump, skimmer and other items.
Which is what a lot of others including myself would expect from this sort of unit!
He has asked can he do this using functional logic as the basic leakage detection function cannot do this!

Hi!

I am also installing a leakage sensor is there any progress on this post?

unfortunately not i still don't have an answer from ghl and mine is still not working as of today. :(

Caroline can you help me out?

Try this at your own risk! :)

G1:
Input 1: Fillwater 2 (the control circuit of the leak sensor on the Probe/Sensor/Level page)
Input 2: Always On
Function: And

When the leak detector gets wet it'll trigger an alarm, this is the logic I used to shut off the sockets I want.
