Any of you guys mind sharing pics of your setups? I'm always amazed at what people come up with. And I alsol need ideas myself.

So if I wanted to use DP1 as a auto top off pump, could I hook a float switch directly to the input?

Yes, you can use any switch input on the system. Since mine is in the garage I use a switch input on a module that is at the sump. I use the auto top off DP1 switch input for low and full levels on the DI water container. I use those to turn on and off my RODI unit to fill the DI tank.
 
Ok Im trying to program my pumps with the dci through the Archon. The pump is powered and in the right ports but it will only run at a constant flow it wont pulse. Any ideas?

The IOE just plugs into the two RJ45 ports using the cables provided. The ports are labeled. It is just a breakout box for the two RJ45 ports. it has push to release xonnectors for the wires from switches and the devices you want to control with the output ports. What are you going to connect to it?

As for the pump hopefully Lindsey can address that but it looks like your pulse time is .2 seconds. Is that what you want?
 
No I want 1 second on the pulse. So maybe that's the issue. I'll be hooking my float switches to the IOE and possible another dci. I didn't know they are push to release, let me try that and see what happens

Pulse time is 2 tenths of a second. Yea not gonna work. Jebao pumps won't show up below 0.7 I believe. I have mine on a 4 second switch. I've gone as high as 7 and it was a cool current effect.

Ok cool got that working now. The next project I have when I get off will be programming the low level alarm in my ATO container and for programming the undertank lights to come on when I open the stand doors. Pickupman66 did a good video on the multicontroller feature. I have some magnetic door sensors that I am going to install on the doors of my stand. Correct me if Im wrong but I will have to program a virtual moddule that will set the light to come on when the switch is opened? And then another for when its closed? I thought about using the "revert after" feature but we all know sometimes you can end up in that sump for a while. I don't want to have to go back to the archon and manually turn it on or open and close the door again to get the light back. Or am I completely off here?
 
Find out if the door switches are open or closed when door is open. That will tell if they need to be wired in series or parallel. You can control an output directly with a switch input. No need for virtual channel.
 
String them in series and when one or more doors are open you will have a open switch at the swith input. Then just use the switch function. use your switch port with these switches on the on when and off when statments. on when open and off when closed.
 
Hopefully the switches come tomorrow. My whole system is up and running minus the temp probe in my nano. I ordered that and should be here in 2 or 3 days.

I'm wondering if you can control the pan tilt zoom functions while watching a camera through Archon interface. I'm about to order a camera and I do t want to pay extra for something I can't use
