Help programming RKE myReef float switch

[gregzz4]

So I'm feeling all kinda short bus right now

I've tried to set up a switch to kill my return pump if the level rises too high in the overflow box.
Problem is, whenever I try to program it in myReef, I don't get an option for Trip, only Trigger
I can't find where to set Trip On/Off Open/Closed

Hope someone can help
Thanks

Set your channel as switch.

I tried using the Head Unit to set the channel ...
Out ... PC4 ... Pump ... Mode auto ... Function switch
Off when Open
On when Closed

Then it went into this crazy On/Off loop

And the switch isn't in the water right now

I'd really like to use myReef to do this as I have other units to set up on this one switch, and I have even more yet to program on a second switch.
Biggest thing right now is to just get the return pump set up on the overflow as I have the RO water up to temp and would like to leave it running overnight.

As I said above, when I did that it went berzerk

OK, I just set up the channel as a switch, instead of as a pump and it works - Off when / On when

Thanks reefme

Only thing bothering me is, why do I have to call my pump a switch ?
Am I missing something, or is DA out to lunch ?

you are welcome. May I ask why you need a switch there? Do you know switch do fail?

Of course they fail, but it's just a backup.
I'm running a Herbie and have 2" above the Emerg before it triggers the switch.
Just trying to add a little redundancy
This particular switch will never be wet unless the tank is near flooding so I don't see it ever getting munged up. Here's where it's installed. It will stay clean

And FYI you all, reefme sent me a bunch of PMs to help too ...
Mighty nice of him

[gregzz4]

I guess I understand it ...

The channel is the item
The function is what controls it IE: switch
The hardware labels it
