Hey Folks,

After not doing it for a long time, decided to bite the bullet and try to get the leak detection to do something,

The leak detector is working, detects leak and sounds alarm which is all good.

What I would like to do, is the tank to go into a maintenance mode which I use for water changes.
It basically turns off everything I would expect to turn off if there were a leak detected.

Is there some simple way to accomplish this, without having to add another layer of Programable Logic in front of all my individual switch channels?

The switch channels are confusing enough already with multiple levels of logic involved for delayed starts, etc.
 
Not any simple ways as I know but you can use a digital input card, a closing relay and an empty switch channel socket (witch close the relay when your leak detector is activated). Another way is to use a power cut detect adapter- put it in a switch channel socket that switch off when your leak detector is activated,

Sincerely Lasse
