Help with programmable logic

[doggydoc]

Ok I am looking for some guidance on how to achieve this.
I have a level sensor currently connected to a solenoid. If the level sensor gets triggered the solenoid is closed to avoid flood.
That solenoid is connected to socket 8 and the level is assigned to that socket.
Now my question is: How do I turn off another socket--return pump AND protein skimmer once the level gets triggered?
Both of them--pump AND prot skimmer--are already assigned to other sockets.
I know I have to use logic...but how do I set up logic in order to achieve this????

Just set the pump and protein skimmer function to the same as the solenoid

ok but how about if my pump AND the prot skimmer are ALREADY set to water level 1?
Water level 1 is my sensor in the overflow.

You can set as many switches to the same function. This is what you want to do. When the level is triggered, the solenoid, pump, and skimmer all turned off. Make sure you have reset alarm error checked off because when the level drop back down, you want the pumps to tun on automatically. Btw, This is more of an overflow protection so you shoul use leakage function.

I understand but what if I want BOTH LEVEL sensors to turn off MULTIPLE sockets?

Then you would use G1 and set for level1 AND level2 and set the socket(s) to G1

ok PERFECT Thanks.

Ok. Since I have AWESOME help here: let's say I want to turn OFF socket 2--pump 2 on doser(alk)--if there is a ph alarm
Logic as follows:
Input 1 timer 2 invert
Input 2 ph alarm
AND
???

Try G2 with timer AND PH alarm. I'm not sure if it has a ph alarm. I think it has an alarm but not specific. Again, I'm not sure here. I'm not with my controller. Try it and test it.

Ok. Will do. Thanks.
By the way, what's the " black out delay" in the socket function for???

Black out delay is for when you have the power restored after an event of a power out, that socket won't start right away. The delay will set the socket off for that amount of time before resuming to normal operational mode.
I have this on my skimmer socket because when the power is out, water drained down to the sump, the skimmer will overflow during the first initial 1-2mins because of the high water level.
