Has anyone used the Kamoer ATO? I installed it yesterday, it was working fine but was woken up at 2am to the alarm. The pump had not stopped filling and triggered the emergency float valve switch (thankfully that worked). I tried unplugging and plugging it back in but no dice. Left it alone, this morning I read the manual again and realized it asks you to place the optical sensor at minimum 4 inches away from the float valve.
I pushed the sensor away as far as I can get it for now and it seems to have worked but I kept it turned off in case something goes crazy while I'm away at work. I'm wondering if this was my issue, they were 2 inches apart, but why would this even be a problem? Is there something in float switches that interfere with optical sensors? This is the first time I'm hearing anything like this.
