I just installed a new flood sensor after, well, guess...
I have the sensor (2-wire) plugged into a Neptune breakout box, connected to a PX1000, connected to an ACIII.
Unlike a float switch, it is hard to reset the state of the sensor to get rid of the unknown value. It takes forever to dry it, and even when it is dry, I am getting erratic switching on/off of my main pump.
Here is my code:
FLD$-C03 {C03 is set to a random timer name, right?)
PMP#-A08 {my main return pump}
If SwitchA3 OPEN Then PMP ON
If SwitchA3 CLOSED Then PMP OFF
MAX CHANGE 005 M Then PMP OFF
The switch says it requires 5V to operate, which is what I assume is coming out of the ACIII. Is it?
When I run this code, the PMP cycles about every 30s. It is as if my sensor is already broken? Not sure...
After dumping about 10 gallons of water on to my girlfriend's antique Turkish rug, I am trying to be a bit safer with the tank. Though, if this thing ever trips, I think all I can REALLY do is hurry home before she does.
Thanks!
