Breakout box question

[unbreakable]

I have a couple float switches and each float switch has two wires. Does each wire go into a different number on the break out box (11 and 12)? or does it just go into one slot (11)?

sorry for the noob question, just got to setup the Apex a few hours ago, and still messing around with it

I do not have a breakout box as I made my own but the float switched work like so. One wire from each float will go to the same slot that should be marked Ground? the other wire from each float will to each number.
float 1. 1 & 12
Float 2. 2 &12
Float 3. 3 & 12 and so on. I do not know the pin out off the top of my head so this is just an example.

Not sure if i'm missing something, but after setting everything up, should i go to in to outlet setup, then modify the outlet, make the outlet thats going to pull in water as advanced, and then save and exit and program outlet?

and from there i should have

Fallback OFF
If Switch1 OPEN
then OFF

?

Assuming this is for top off:

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Switch1 OPEN then ON

Set OFF is the normal state, only when the float on input 1 is OPEN will the outlet be ON and the pump will run. By the way, the orientation of the float will determine whether you use switch open or switch closed in the statement.

it's still not turning on a pump but i have it as follows:

If Switch1 OPEN
then ON

If Switch1 CLOSED
then OFF

Set OFF

Do you think having it on one of the last plugs is causing the problem? My breakout box has 1 wire going to ground and the other going to 11

The Set OFF is overriding everything. Make it the first statement (or second if you have a Fallback statement like Todd suggested).

ah had no idea i could reorganize and all of that, but now i have it as

fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Switch1 CLOSED (had to change it to closed for it to work)
then ON

now everything is working as it should be! thanks for all the help, now I have everything setup with the apex
