Help getting my ATK to run right.

[JMM744]

I can use manual to run the pump to top off tank. If I set it in auto it will run for a while but eventually it will shut off and the switch will go from being on auto to being on off. These are screen shots of what I have..... my system is 300 so I need to let the pump run for more then 5 min but for now I am leaving it be. I used tasks to set it up.

Here are the pics of the display. You can see one is in auto and another is off. It did that all by itself.




This shows the attachment used to run the atk.

You have to change the "If on for 05:00 then OFF" is my guess..... just make it 10 min etc..... Your sump/tank requires the pump to run longer to fill is my guess..... that 05:00 limit is a fail-safe so you don't flood your sump, something you probably don't need to worry about within 10 minutes.

try changing the "when" to "IF"

Here is a shot of the display after I topped off the tank. The water ,level is above both eyes.

Well here is how it went, I purchased a new optical sensor and attached it to the system. Bingo, it all worked like a charm. Now for the downside....I was cleaning up my cords and unplugged the module from the pm1 module briefly and then hooked it back up again. Now nothing works including the pm1 module. It’s on a classic system so I went and updated the modules and tried to get them running but have had no luck. Any suggestions please? @SuncrestReef
Thank you, Jim
