6105 Eco and Apex

[Tac302000]

Hi there. One of my decade old 6105's has finally died. I've been controlling them via Apex. Will the new Eco version be a direct swap with the old version into Apex? If not, what is needed to get it working with Apex? Thanks for any help!

The cable needed is different, the DIN cable is replaced by a phono jack plug, the Apex to Kessil 0-10V cable can be used.

Thank you!

Hey rivtko, another question. I currently control 4 Tunze pumps which all have DIN connectors via the Apex VDM module. It looks like in order to use the phono connector with the Eco pump, I would have to unplug one of the dual DIN connectors from the VDM and replace it with the phono connector. If I'm doing the math correctly, I think I will be left with connections for only 3 pumps, two with DIN and one with phono. That would be less than optimal.

Are motor housing units for the old 6105's still available for purchase so that I can keep all 4 of my pumps in service? Thanks for the help!

Yes, we have the older motor blocks, https://www.tunze.com/US/en/details/6105.115-motor-block-for-6105002.html

I would suspect the only reason a 2 output cable does not exist as I can't see anyone wanting to separate lights on to two channels. It should be feasible to make one that has two outputs.
