1. Summary
The Robo-Tank DIY ATO System is a high quality, high accurate full featured customizable auto top off system for your
aquarium and has 5 layers of security built in to protect against floods or other catastrophes. It can be used out of the
box as a standalone system or integrated into the Robo-Tank controller.
For maximum protection the ATO system can be used with up to 4 sensors and is perfect for travelers, it has an
emergency timeout auto timer and even monitors the energy your pump is drawing on the heavy duty DC pump port to
anticipate failure giving you an extremely safe system designed to keep the water in your tank and off the
floor. You can
also add an optional mechanical float valve that stops water flow giving you even an extra of protection.
Three of the sensor ports support a variety of readily available sensors including optical, non-contact, float switches and
more. Sensor port 3 is a multi-use port and can be used as an additional backup for the ATO or setup to monitor the
reservoir level. In addition there’s one port dedicated to a float switch which is completely independent of the ATO
system and only for an emergency.
Every aquarium is different that’s why it’s loaded with customizable features such as manually setting a maximum pump
run-time, adjusting the start/stop delays, adjusting the pump speed, adjusting the alarm volume and many more.
The
ATO system also has a loud adjustable buzzer for alarms, power indicator LED, pump running indicator LED and an LED
to indicate communication with the Robo-Tank controller, if connected (optional), and a convenient multi-use button on
the side of the case.
