If anyone here could help me program a dual floatswitch on a Reef Keeper Elite I would really appreciate it!
Both switches are on the same bracket.

Id like the bottom switch (A switch) to control the water line. I would like it to activate for 2 seconds when triggered, then turn off.

If the top switch (E switch) is triggered id like it to set an alarm to beep only and override the ato pump shutting it off.

I have the floats flipped the correct way so open is open and closed is closed.

I have done this on a reef keeper lite but the elite display is a little different and the digitial aquatics forums are now removed.

Thanks!

Some may be referred to as 1 or 0 which one is open 0 is closed. It could also be on or off. On I think is closed and off is open. It has been awhile. Also it may be worded differently on myReef from the head unit. What are you trying to do with the switch?

Below is programming for an ATO from a few years back. You will have to change the times and device id's for your system. Also the alarm and timer numbers for tue ones you use. This is a copy of a ATO single float using a trigger timer. I added the alarm at the bottom this would use the top float as a trigger. You will also need to change the ope or closed to what is appropriate for your switches. Hope this helps and sorry for my misunderstanding before. I did not read the whole post I was in a hurry when I was reading it before.
