How do I program my ATO so it stays off for a certain amount of time during feed cycle A? Also how to program it so the pump will only run for a certain amount of time at a time? I am using fusion.

Thanks

You would need to go into advanced mode for the ATO and add the line

If FeedA 000 Then OFF

If you use anything higher than 000 in the statement then this is the amount of time it will additionally stay off after the feed cycle is done.

Assuming you are using a float switch to tell it when to run or not, you could use an oscillate command to control the length of time that it runs. Again in advanced mode, you could put this line in before the switch command:

OSC 000/002/010 Then ON

When the float switch is low enough for the pump to run, it will run for 2 minutes , then off for 10 minutes, then on for 2 minutes, etc. until the float switch tells it to remain off.
