RKL and pump shutoff

[Haulin Oates]

So I'm running a HOB overflow from my cube to my sump... I've never had a problem, but my main concern is if the power goes out and I break siphon. What I was wondering is if anyone has programmed a plug on the PC4 to stay off if power is lost until I can reset it? Is that even possible?

Jack what if you program the module plug to be default as standby, then manually change it to on instead of auto? My thought is that them when the power kicked back on and resets the rkl it would not power the outlet as its set to only come on in standby mode. Could be wrong on how that occurs though.

Interesting... I'll try that!

 

[CRW Reef]

keep us updated as I would like to know if that works as well.

Yes you have to program that plug either as on or off during default

It's not working... It keeps coming back on right when I turn the power back on... The limited research I've done online is telling me I need another switch to make this work...

 

[CRW Reef]

ya I just tried and couldn't make it happen either. What switch are they telling you to get and what is the programming?

 

[Haulin Oates]

They're saying you can use a float switch in the overflow box to trip a plug to be off when the float switch is tripped... Pretty much the opposite of an ATO... Makes sense...

Ya makes sense to me hmmm I'm going to keep researching for you lol
