I have my Dos scheduled to do AWC through out the 24hrs(schedule in picture) which also takes the water and adds, 5 minutes apart from eachother. How would I go about an ATO not tripping during this?

Turn it off during that time frame?
 
Just set them for the same time. Make sure to have the new saltwater go into a chamber after the remove line in the sump. I have had this set up for years and it’s never messed up my salinity, and doesn’t mess with my ato at all.

Yea same here.. what’s the point of having them go on 5 mins apart? The beauty of the design is that it won’t trigger the ato or salinity alarms

Yes. This exactly. I use a GHL maxi for my AWC, but the result is the same. I have the water out coming from the overflow section of the sump and the water in going to the return section. Even if the AWC kicks on when the return pump is off, there's no change in sump volume.
