    Frage ATO Help

    I know there are a few threads on this topic but none answered my question

    1) If im using the "ATO with 2 Sensors" setting do i need to buy the splitter to get 2 sensors on the Level 1 / 2 port??
    2) Is this splitter something special or can i get one from a PC place (PS2 splitter for Keyboard + Mouse)
    3) Can someone explain to me about the "Leak Detection" mode
    4) I have a contactless sensor but not working, is it best to use a Optical and Float or 2 Opticals or 2 Floats?

    Thanks

    1) Yes
    2) It is special
    3) Will set into an alarm state if the sensor is on to long
    4) I think ether Optical and Float or 2 Floats work best.

    OK so this is my plan, will it work

    3 sensors

    Level 1 and 2 = "ATO with 2 Sensors"
    Level 3 = "Leak Detection"

    Thinking Level 1 is a optical and Level 2 and 3 as floaters

    Am i right in thinking that Level 1 will switch a socket on (pump) and then when the water level hits Level 2 it will switch the pump off on the same socket???

    Thanks in advance

    ATO with two sensors works the way that 2 sensors are used to recognize the same water level for a higher savety.
    The way you describe it, you would have to use the mode Min/Max.

    this is not a standard mouse/keyboard splitter! the internal wiring is different!
    don't get confused by the logo printed there - these plugs come only with these logos

    Optical Sensor
    Float Sensor
    Splitter Cable

    anyone?

    This is what i have done so far. Put the Optical sensor on the mouse (level 1) and the Floater on keyboard (level 2) then made Level 1 in the software as "ATO with 2 sensors" but what do i make level 2, at the moment its "not enabled".
    Then what function do i allocate to the controllable socket to turn the pump on and off.
