Pressure float switch for skimmer

[Cali9dub]

I have a pressure activated float switch that I use to detect when my skim locker is full. It has the mini din type connector. I was wondering how to use this to cut power to my skimmer when this style switch is activated. The only thing I can find is related to ATO, leak detection or in conjunction with the Doser. It’s gotta be simple, but I’m missing it.

Read thru this thread. I think it's toward the end.

Digital Input - PL-ADIN card Usage Example

Let's talk about Analog & Digital Inputs. What are they, and what can you do with them? First things first - the name of the card. Analog Digital INput This topic comes up from time to time, looking to implement an extra Float switch, a relay, a manual switch or button to trigger actions etc...

If it is GHLs own floater switch with their mini DIN plug - it is easy if you have a profilux computer 3.xx and above

Do you have that or it is only a Doser SA you have?

I will comeback with a description later on if you have a P3 or P4 Can I do it in GCC or do you prefer MyGHL?

I found it in the manual but it’s listed as “Leak Detection” so it kinda threw me. Pretty sure I have it working properly and reacting the way I want !!

You can also do it with the normal ATO function but invert the function when you bind it to the actual switch. It is a way to do it if you do not want to have any alarms - just let it switch off
