Quick Double Check on this ATO Programming....

[sminker]

Please double check. I want it to run every three hours, and off during the peak of my lighting. Sunrise is roughly 12 hours or so, I set it up to be disabled during the midday.


ATOPump (Actual Outlet)
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Outlet ATOAllow = ON Then ON
If Outlet SumpLow = ON Then ON
If Outlet Maint = ON Then OFF
If Outlet 7min = ON Then OFF
If Outlet SumpHigh = ON Then OFF
If Outlet ATOWaterLow = ON Then OFF
If Sun 180/-180 Then OFF

ATOAllow (Virtual Outlet)
Set OFF
If Switch3 CLOSED Then ON (float switch for normal sump depth)
Defer 180:00 Then ON

You can't use If Sun in that manner. If Sum has explicit ON & OFF states, so it will always override all statements above it. As an alternative to If Sun, you could use If Outlet MainLight = ON Then OFF in your ATO outlet to prevent ATO during your aim lighting period.

I realized that when I tested it a few minutes ago. I did what you suggested and just put it for the main set of T5's come on.

I made it work using a Virtual Outlet.

ATOPump
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Outlet ATOAllow = ON Then ON
If Outlet SumpLow = ON Then ON
If Outlet Maint = ON Then OFF
If Outlet 7min = ON Then OFF
If Outlet SumpHigh = ON Then OFF
If Outlet ATOWaterLow = ON Then ON
If Outlet ATOSun = ON Then OFF

ATOSun
Set OFF
If Sun 180/-120 Then ON (I taylored this from my pH Graphs)
