Hi all this should not be to hard but I am doing something wrong. I have a new liquid level sensor plugged in my FFM module 6.1. it calibrated fine seems to be reading fine. I need it to control a pomp on FFM 5 and I can't seem to get it to work on any thoughts

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Swx6_1 OPEN Then ON
If Swx6_2 CLOSED Then OFF
When On > 010:00 Then OFF
Defer 000:10 Then ON
Defer 000:04 Then OFF
Min Time 060:00 Then OFF

this was my code for my pump but it doesn't work for the level system

This is how I use the LLS attached to my FMM. This LLS is located in my sump. This code controls the outlet to my pump in the RODI tank that tops off my sump.

Fallback OFF
If LVL-SU < 4.0 Then ON (Set as my low level in my sump to top-off)
If LVL-SU > 4.5 Then OFF (set as the good level)
Min Time 000:03 Then OFF

Thank you for some reason I was missing the greater and lower symbols

The great value of the LLS is the ability to provide differential values. Instead of on and off you can hypotheticaly have 1000 different switches in between.

I was doing maintenance on the tank. And trying to get ready to leave for vacation and a bit of work to. I am heading to Indonesia in about an hour

I set mine up using the commands

If Watlev < 4.8 Then ON
If wtrlev > 5.2 Then OFF
Defer 000:30 Then OFF
When ON > 03:00 Then OFF
Min Time 15:00 Then OFF

The defer command allows it to read without coming on/off with every ripple.
The When command only allows pump to run for 3 minutes
Min Time command will cancel the 3 min command after 15 minutes.

I don't know if there another way, but my LLS has been running perfectly with this setup.
