    Ok this is what I have so far.
    -Avast Deluxe ATO pump w/ bare wires to connect to B/O box (DONE)
    -Two float switches installed (DONE)
    -Made 4 vitural outlets
    ---Outlet 1- ATO Pump (Done but not programmed..Don't know if I need this? of if its for the pressure shutoff for the avast..)
    ---Outlet 2- LowWaterSump (Done but not programmed)
    ---Outlet 3- HighWaterSump (Done but not programmed)
    ---Outlet 4- FloatSwitchAtoRes[LowWater](Future Add-on)
    Plus I have an outlet for the Avast ATO Pump which is plugged into on the DC8 (Not Programmed either)

    Basically I need help to program each outlet for the ATO. I don't trust myself to mix up the programming and end up with a disaster. IF there is anything else you would like to know, just ask.

    Thanks.

    Do I need to add something else or did I start out in the right ways?

    This is my "SumpLow" virtual outlet:
    Fallback OFF
    Set OFF
    If Switch1 CLOSED Then ON
    If Switch1 OPEN Then OFF

    SumpHigh:
    If Switch2 OPEN Then ON
    If Switch2 CLOSED Then OFF

    Top off pump:
    Fallback OFF
    Set OFF
    If Outlet SumpLow = ON Then ON
    If Outlet SumpLow = OFF Then OFF
    If Outlet SumpHIGH = ON Then OFF
    Defer 010:00 Then ON

    Hope this helps!

    Pay attention to your switch directions though (normally open or closed), as if they are opposite of mine you will have to switch the wording. Otherwise, just be sure to test them by dumping in some water to make sure your high switch goes off and taking some out to make sure your top off kicks in. Good luck!
