I think I'm over thinking this

[Trivan]

I received my power bars and float switches today and trying to understand how to program them.
I've search and read a lot of programming guides, and maybe I'm over thinking this. To learn, I want to use 1 float - Sump-Low to trigger a switch, eg. shut a pump off.
I've tested the switch is being recognized, I'm not sure which Function to select, so just did "Return Pump"

I then went to Switch Channel 1. This is where I get lost. What Function do I select? I was expecting to see "Return Pump" or Sump Level-Low.

To test, I selected Fill Water and 1 as that is the sensor number.
I moved the float up and down and it didn't trigger the switch.
What am I missing??

It's pretty embarrassing, I'm in IT, architect large systems, but this puzzles me

The the problem I think was between the computer and the chair. Was programming on the PC and didn't click save between each step . I'm testing some more....

What you want to do is use the Leakage detection function.

The steps for that are explained here:

We also have a section within the article which covers exactly what you are looking to do:

I had a similar issue with the float sensor when I set it up initially.

One issue I had was I didn't have the sensor plugged in all the way to the Profilux. It wasn't seated all the way.

And the other was depending on which way your senor is situated you have to invert it
