Thanks for your time!

A 6095 connected to an apex controller. What should the attached tunze controller dials be set to?
 
External mode, pulse and pulse power off, main speed 100%.
Hi Roger,

I have a related question in that when I set the main speed on the Tunze controller to 100%, it goes to 100% even though I have the Apex topping out at 40% max speed. On min speed, I have to set the Apex to 25% to keep the propeller spinning. I have the controllers set to external control, pulse and pulse power off. Do you think I need to do that calibration procedure for the 7090 that I've read about to get control over the 100% max speed?

Thanks,
Rick
 
Yes, but you want to try this method, not the calibration for 7095/7096 we show in the Youtube video-


*The problem*
If two 7090s are connected with the cable and you set the master to 2 different low levels (main power 35%, pulse power 20%), and you set it to "inverse mode", the slave will always stay at full power.

*The solution* (today tested with 3 affected units)
1 -> set the 7090 to external control.
2 -> push the food timer button for around 10 seconds until the "pulse power" knob is starting to blink. Keep pushing it.
3 -> turn it to the position shown in the picture
4 -> Release the food timer button.

I did that to the 7090 controllers and the left 6095 can be turned to 100% on main speed and still have the Apex control max speed at 50% (or whatever I set it to). The right 6095 is still the same way, when I turn the main speed control on the 7090 to 100%, it goes to 100% even though the Apex should be controlling it at 50% max. I'm using the variable speed port on the Apex with the Tunze stream to Apex cable. Should I have done that procedure to only one of the 7090's?

Thanks for your help.
