Trouble shooting Switch1

[bvoss]

I have and ACIII and I am installing a float switch with a 8 pin mini din plug. I already made the mistake of getting the pin out wrong by looking at the plug instead of the socket side as doumented in the manual. I fixed that and I have tested the switch with an ohm meter, and everything is working fine. I still can't get Switch1 to trigger my ALM timer. My other ALM
functions work fine.

Here is the ALM code I am using
If Time > 00:00 Then ALM OFF
If pH < 07.80 Then ALM ON
If Temp > 82.5 Then ALM ON
If Temp < 76.0 Then ALM ON
If ORP > 380 Then ALM ON
If ORP < 280 Then ALM ON
If Power Fail Then ALM ON
If Temp > 82.5 Then MH1 OFF
If Temp > 82.5 Then MH2 OFF
If Switch1 CLOSED Then ALM ON

Is there any way to see the state of Switch1 directly without linking it to an timer? It might help me isolate the problem.

Thanks,

Bill

Look at the ALM icon on the display. When the switch is Closed, does it change? Does the temp out of range set the ALM on properly?

I have triggered the ALM using ORP and temp. I get an e-mail to my phone but I don't see any alarm indication on the display.
