I recently changed my ATO over to the new Neptune ATK and I continue to have an issue where it reverts itself to the off position and not topping off, does this every time I put it in auto. Here is the coding. Thanks for any help.

#reefsquad, some help please:)
 
Here's how I've got mine working:

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Swx4_1 OPEN Then ON
If Swx4_2 CLOSED Then OFF
If ATK_S OPEN Then OFF
When On > 005:00 Then OFF
Defer 000:10 Then ON
Defer 000:04 Then OFF
Min Time 060:00 Then OFF

It's doing a lot of the same thing yours is - Swx4_1 is "low"; Swx4_2 is "high", "ATK_S" is the "empty container".
I think the key piece will be moving the ATORES command lower in your list of instructions - Apex code executes from top to bottom and uses what it ends with. So with your code, the ATO_LO=ON command would overrule the "ATORES=OFF" instruction. That's a different issue than you are getting, however...

Only thing I can think of is that your sensors aren't registering properly (which is what @Brew12 is asking about). Might want to try unplugging/replugging them back in. Might also want to make sure that the cables aren't running parallel to power cables. These sensors aren't supposed to be prone to disturbance, but I've noticed some odd things with pretty much all the Apex sensors when they are tied in with power cables...
 
I moved the ATORES command down in the list.

The placement of the ATK module and wiring with exception of the Aquabus cable is mostly distant from any other equipment or wiring so I wouldn't think there would be much interference involved in it.
