So i have an issue trying to configure some emergency flood sensors and such. I have my return pump powered via an outlet, that is switched by a RIB relay that is N.C., that i then use my XP8 to send power to, and turn my pump off. This allows my return pump to have a dedicated circuit, as my pump is fairly large(reeflo hammerhead) and was overpowering my XP8 with my other loads. I wired it up this way so that if my XP8 circuit trips for any reason, my pump stays on, and is only dependant on the XP8 to turn off. My issue now though is I have it setup as a constant input that is turned on and off during feeding modes and such, as return pumps cant be setup as normally off. To my (very limited) knowledge, this prohibits me from setting up some emergency sense ports that will shut it off, in the case of a flood incident. Idk if i should change my input to something else or if anyone has any other ideas. Or if i'm basically stuck changing my RIB relay to normally open(i'd like to avoid this if possible, but not out of the question) so i can set it up as a regular return pump load on my XP8?
