Profilux programmable logic setup

Hi, I am trying to setup my external ATO on a socket on the power bar. I want this socket to turn off with my return pump, and turn on after a 10 minute delay with the return pump ALWAYS.

I run a BeanAnimal style overflow so whenever I turn the return pump on, it takes time before everything stabilizes. I don't want the ATO dumping water in during this time.

So far, I have a G1 under programmable logic as a simple "Delay start" function based on "Filter 1" state (My return pump). This seems to work if everything is off already, but it doesn't turn off the ATO with the return pump.

Do I have to create another programmable logic G2 and do some Boolean logic between the two to make this work right?

Hmm, according to the documentation, it should work as is. I guess I will have to look at it more closely and see what is happening here.
