What the heck happened here? I just got home and clicked on my status key for aquanotes and I got all this extra stuff under the temp, pH, and ORP

Go into the Setup menu and disable "Expansion" (or something like that); what you are seeing is PX1000 data (and if there is nothing connected and the option is enabled it could trigger bogus data).

Probe Expansion............ Yes that was enabled. I disabled that and hit restart but it was still there. I then unplugged the unit from the power source and that did the trick. I recently moved the controller downstairs and installed a slightly longer cable going from the AC3 to the 1st DC8. I moved these two closer together and got rid of that cheesy cable as well. I figured better safe than sorry. Thanks

OK,
Now the alarm on the tank just went off. The pH was over the upper limit. My I/O connected to two floats in parallel stayed on and did not shut off. I reset the controller and all is well again.
Is there a statement I could add that would force the ATO off if it stays on too long? I don't think this was going on when I got the weird statements but I'm not sure. I did however replace the cable mentioned above without restarting.

If Switch1 OPEN Then ATO ON
If Switch1 CLOSED Then ATO OFF
If pH > 8.50 Then ATO OFF
Max Change 001 M Then ATO OFF

This is what I have now for the ATO. I am currently using an aqualifter pump with a light bulb because of the low current possible problem
