Stephen Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I'm about to head out of town for 2 weeks and can't get this DIY ATO to work. What am I doing wrong here? Solid state relay ssr-40 da Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 When power is on the float switch does the opposite that I want it to. Pump turns on when the float is up, not down. I tried switching the float switch wires and still working backwards. Hopefully that makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jestep Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Sounds like you have a normally open float switch instead of a normally closed one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolt Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Maybe you could try turning the float switch upside down for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 Dang! Didn't know there were different types. Makes sense though. I think I'll try and mount it upside down for now. Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makena95GT Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 You should be able to just unscrew the switch and flip the white floaty bit. Rather than try to mount the whole thing flipped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
