Breakout box + Float Switch

Hello,

I need some help here, new to the breakout box.

Goal: Have a float switch in my ATO bucket that will alert me when it's in the "on" position (water is low)

Items I have: breakout box, floatswitch (http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/reefke...-aquatics.html)

The float switch has 2 wires. It came with a longer cable with a black end. I suspect each of the 2 wires from switch slide into the actual black part like with a Tunze ATO. That leaves me with a cable that has a black and red cable. I don't know where on breakout box to screw these into. Any help?

Once screwed in and hooked up, any comments on how to program to alert me when water in ATO is low (bascially switch will be submerged and on, but when water is low, will go to off .. on off, I want alert).

Pics attached.

You are correct about the extra wiring. The wires red and black one goes to the grd terminal the other will go to any other except for rsv

As for programming see the manual section there are many good examples... Give it a try and if you need help then let us know and we will help you figure it out
