Could someone please tell me where I could find instructions on how to use the XY Programs as I downloaded the software but can't find any instructions one Aquatronica's web site.

Regards
Ralph

"From the Ver5 thread"

I did some testing tonight.

The XY works very nicely. I used it to turn on a dosing pump when two level sensors reached a set value. Limitation that only one pump can be active at a time is still there, but is really not a problem. If Activation times conflict it will do one then go to the other.

I then did a test on using XY program for Top Off

There was someone who had a problem with not being able to use a Delayed start to control RO water from oscillating on/off.

The Delay start option in XY fixes that problem
This makes the XY program much better for use with RO top off.

Simple setup using only Ro Water for Top Off

Max Time = 120 Seconds
Variable1 = Sump Level = Low
Delay = 5 seconds
Variable2 = Undefined

Action 1
UP01 - PSW1
Plug G RO Water
ON

That added feature of a 5 second Delay will prevent the RO from Jetting ON and OFF.

Program For RO or Saltwater Top Off

PROGRAM 1

Max Time = 120 Seconds
Variable1 = Sump Level = Low
Delay = 5 seconds

Variable2 = SO5 Conductivity > 1.023
Reference = Yes
Buffer = 0 ; I assume this is like a Delta


Action 1
UP01 - PSW1
Plug G RO Water
ON

______

PROGRAM 2

Max Time = 150 Seconds
Variable1 = Sump Level = Low
Delay = 5 seconds

Variable2 = SO5 Conductivity < 1.023
Reference = Yes
Buffer = 0


Action 1
UP01 - PSW1
Plug H - Fresh SW Pump
ON


Hats off to the Aquatronica Engineers, this is a very simple well thought out method.
