Apex help with Jebo pumps

cableace75 · Dec 20, 2014

I have the full apex Controller and just bought the Adapter to be able to control my Jebo pumps with the apex. My question is it has a DC in but came with no type of power pack. and then has what looks to me as a VDM plug. No cable for this connection came with the unit either. so how do I hook this thing up?

You connect the same 24v power supply from your jebaos to it and then you will need a Ethernet cable from that box to your vdm port on the apex.

Thank you for the response. I am currently running a WP60 and a WP40 will this cause power issues using two different sizes of powerhead?

Reason I ask is because I assume the the two different sizes have different power requirements. And there is only one DC plug in available on the unit.

I honestly have never thought of that but I don't see why not if the power supplies are the same volts and amps. You would have to look at the power supply specs.

The Jebao controlers all run with a 0-5VDC power and the Apex uses 0-10VDC. The adapter is a converter and you will be fine running both sizes of powerhead through it.

I have my Jebaos connected to my Apex using this

And not what you have there, thru a DIY cable and a program on the Apex

I use this adapter with my two WP-25 pumps. You can use the original power supply and connect them via ethernet cord? It supply's the power fine, but I've been having some issues with the VM's in Auto mode.
