Hi everyone,

I believe I have a bug. Or it would be even better if there's something I'm missing.

My ATO is currently a regular pump on an outlet that runs from an ATK sensor set. So I used the Fusion task to create the programming and setup the FMM sensors, and then I copied and pasted that into the EB832 outlet that I use for the ATO pump and disable the ATO output for the FMM 24v port. This has worked for me well in the past. However, I had to change an FMM module around, or the same one got reassigned somehow... I can't remember exactly what happened. But I went through the task again and copied and pasted the code over to the EB832 outlet from the 24v FMM outlet. It will not turn off. ATO_Hi and ATO_Lo are both closed, will not turn off. It always runs when set to auto. It will adhere to the Defer and Min Time statements as I had to set those to 1 second while troubleshooting, but it will not read the optical switch inputs. I've tried deleting and readding, didn't help. I'm not sure what to do here. One thing I haven't tried yet is a new outlet... but the outlet itself seems fine, it just seems like it can't read the optical switches.

Any thoughts? Has anyone seen this before? I may just need to reach out to Neptune on this one as I suspect it will require some deeper diving than I can do on the forum here.

Here is my current outlet config:

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If ATO_Lo OPEN Then ON
If ATO_Lo CLOSED Then OFF
If ATO_Hi CLOSED Then OFF
When On > 003:00 Then OFF
Defer 000:01 Then ON
Min Time 000:01 Then OFF

Thank you!

Brandon

No, it is needed. I want it turning off when ATO_Lo is closed. ATO_Hi is intended to be the first failsafe, not when the ATO turns off.

It isnt, below is the default code for the ATK. You may want to read through this -

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If ATK_LO OPEN Then ON
If ATK_HI CLOSED Then OFF
When On > 005:00 Then OFF
Defer 000:10 Then ON
Defer 000:04 Then OFF
Min Time 060:00 Then OFF

Set your Defer times correctly and set Min Time 000:01 Then OFF if you want to do testing. Can you post a picture of your Apex System tree? Helps track down issues easier I find.

I see what you're saying now. The desired effect will still happen due to my Set OFF and ATK_Lo being closed. That line is redundant. Thank you.

I believe I am going to just remove this FMM, delete the module, use a different FMM, and set everything up again using a different one to see if it will work. Good thing I've got 3 of these modules. lol
