Using Generic/Combiner Outputs for Alarms

[kenchilada]

Set a maximum on time of like 1 minute then it will give you an option to set an alert level. The alert here is for maximum on time exceeded or maximum off time exceeded. So if the output is on for at least the maximum time it will send an alert for that.

Oh wow good to know, thanks very much!

This works really good for a output like a ATO where you can set a minimum off time and a maximum on time and set run past max on time to off. Then you would set a maximum off time. It will alert if it run the maximum on time but turn off and will stay off until the level sensor used goes wet or you intervene. If the maximum off time is exceeded it will send an alert but will not turn the output on. With those settings you can limit the amount of top off that can be done in a given time frame. Also Like mine I have the maximum off time set to 6 hours. If it goes that long without topping offI want to know soI can chexk thing to make sure nothing is wrong.
