Maxi / AWC setup checklist

[chefjpaul]

Hey Guys. Been though all of your videos, everyone's threads regarding... well everything GHL & PL etc.

I just want to have you all double check this and a few questions before I set this up. Everything is ready, just waiting to program.

Setting up an AWC with the Maxi / ATO function.
(2) float switches for high / low. WC & ATO - #1 & #3
(2) float Switches for Low reservoirs | ATO #4 & Mixing # 2

SC are as follows:
12 -Mixing pump - Set to Maintenance mode #3- manual (only equipment activated during)
7 - WC Out / dirty - Doser #5
3 - WC In / Clean - Doser #6
1 - ATO
15 - Reactors - only equipment that needs to be shut down during WC schedule. - Need PL

I am going to set the timer functions as described with ATO / AWC for the float switches and dosers.
*Now, setting up the PL for the reactor, and possible any other equipment to shut off during this is where I am asking, cant afford another flood because I forgot something simple overlooked, like a inverted sensor...

Its an AIO tank, so the amount of water removed doesn't affect anything else really, minimal WC daily. (as all equipment was form by Large tank breakdown)
PL - making sure the WC function is off during Low Level alarms, I believe these are set to Leak Detection inverted.

Any other advice, or PL safety / redundancy I should look into? Basically starting over on all PL functions as the floats and ato etc will be changed.

Thanks,
Josh

OK Guys & Gals,

I can not get the water to drain to the second level sensor. I can get about a pint, roughly the bottom of the top sensor before the fill kicks in. I think I've been messing with it too much and need a second look here.

Id like to finish my new PL programs, but need this to work properly.

So simple, but I missing something as it works great, just not right

I first want apologize to everyone I had a family emergency so I been a little scarce on the forums but things starting to return to normal so I have no been on much wish we had an out of office message

Can you show me a picture of how far apart your sensors are? Are you using Optical or Float?

Next can you confirm that the ATO is not kicking on also because I see the program logic you could use for it not to kick on but it looks like it not applied to Switch port 1 which is your ATO?

Thanks for replying, and never need to apologize for anything regarding family.
Hope all is well and wishes to your family.


Regarding this, I'm at work and will double check everything tonight.
The level sensors are float, far away from magnets and each other, approximately 6".
Ill get pics tonight.

ATO PL attached. I think it's not kicking on. Double check again.

I am going to swap out another level sensor, as I have a backup, believe this one may have had issues in past. Will do first.

Thanks again for all.

Changed the lower level sensor to a new one and same thing. Drain water only runs until it hits bottom of the top (ato) float.

The ATO PL works, doesn't run during WC.

What is the program logic on the Switch outlet fill water.

when the system is draining, and you watch the sensors do both X out at the same time when doing the water change in the level sensor?

It almost like the drain water is using the top sensor and not the lower sensor.

Hey Ditto. Sorry for delay, holiday season in NYC.... crazy.

Anyway, I canceled all the PL with the AWC and didn't work.

BUT, after inverting the bottom sensor it works perfectly. Just having a hard time wrapping my head around why.
