Advice needed, please...

I just installed my new Neptune ATK, adding the FMM module as my second FMM module. The first (existing) FMM module runs a single 1” flow monitor attached at Port #1.

The ATK sensors are plugged into the second FMM module, which is plugged into its own AC power, and connected via Aquabus cable to the first FMM module. The first FMM module is then plugged into the Apex 2016 main brain via Aquabus cable.

My ATK task is using the standard default program, with the #1 sensor being the lower sensor, and the #2 sensor is the upper sensor.

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Swx5_1 OPEN Then ON
If Swx5_2 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

I watched the sump water level go below my lower #1 sensor, thus causing a Switch #1 Open indicator, but the PMUP did not come on to pump any water.

May I please ask for any advice on troubleshooting steps? Or is there a glaring error on my programming above?

Did you wait the 60 min once Swx5_1 went to OPEN?

The last line in the programming "Min Time 060:00 Then OFF, this says to hold the ACC output off for one hour

Thank you for the clarification. ATK is running smoothly now with stable water level in sump, now that I know to just wait for the PMUP to eventually come on.
