unique address is assigned, set the switches on the Direct Connect module using
the instructions found in user manual for the legacy module.
CONNECTING LEGACY MODULES
All legacy modules (except PX-1000) are connected to the port labeled Control on
the Apex Base Module. If more than one legacy module is used, it is daisy-
chained one to the next just as they were with previous AquaController systems.
Cables between devices should be less than 10 feet and neatly coiled and routed
away from power cables, ballasts and motors. Maintain a drip loop in all cables.
ADDING LEGACY MODULES TO THE APEX SYSTEM
All legacy modules (except PX-1000) must be manually added to the Apex
system. Once added, the appropriate number of outlets will be added to the
system with default names and programming. You can identify legacy module
outlets by looking for the address listed at the end of the default outlet name
(Light1_A1, Light_A2, etc.). The name and program for each outlet can be
changed using the instructions found in the section titled Programming Outlets.
Before adding the legacy module to the Apex system, make sure to configure the
starting address and connect the module to the Apex system as described in
previous sections.
To add a Legacy Module to the system:
Apex Display: Setup – Module Setup – Add Module – use the up/down
arrows to highlight Type:, push Select, use the up/down arrows to choose
the legacy module to add, push Select, press up/down arrows to highlight
Start Addr:, push select, use the up/down arrows to choose the starting
address for the legacy module, push Save to add the module or Exit to quit
without saving.
Web Interface: Configuration – Module Setup – in the Add Module
section, choose the legacy module to add from the drop down list, type the
starting address in the Start Control Address box, click the Add Module
button to save.
X10 OUTLETS
The AquaController Apex will work with X10 controlled outlets, however Neptune
Systems does not support it. Users are strongly urged to use Direct Connect or
Energy Bar outlets to control their system as the communication between the
AquaController Apex Base Module and the outlet is much more reliable and is not
