For Sale: Apex Lite (Almost New) (MINT condition) with latest software.
Base Unit, Controller, DC8 Energy Bar, Temp and PH Probes (They are Wet) and working great.
$ 375.00 shipped.
A Full-Featured Controller at a Great Price! Dollar for dollar you will not find a higher-quality controller that gives you more features, is easier to use, or has a larger and more active user base than the Apex. For the most part, the Apex Lite System is just like its bigger brother the Apex System. However, the Apex Lite System is the choice for those that want the advanced features of the Apex System but who do not feel that they need a couple of features like the built-in ability to control LED lighting or monitoring an extra pH or ORP probe.

Monitor/Control - pH, Temp
The base unit includes software which is capable of monitoring pH, and temperature. The monitored data is continuously displayed on the large LCD display and also logged into the internal nonvolatile memory for later retrieval. All probes support digital calibration.
Galvanic isolation on probes
Galvanic isolation on the probes results much more reliable and accurate probe readings. While these features increase costs we feel that probe accuracy is absolutely critical for monitoring/controlling your tank, unlike many competing aquarium controllers.
State of the Art Electronics Integration
•Only 32 bit processor on an Aquarium controller
•Over 16 times more code space & 5X faster than competitive controllers
•The huge code space means that future expandability is ensured
•Over 16 times data storage memory than the competition
•1 year’s worth of data logs can be stored internally
New Enhanced Control Functionality
•Day of Week functionality
•Sub minute control added on EnergyBar controlled devices
•Default outlet state for all EnergyBar outlets
•Second resolution control
Sunrise and Sunset Simulation
The Apex has a special control function which can be used to simulate the varying lengths of days throughout the year. This feature is used to make the length of daylight hours longer in the summer than in the winter. This results in a more realistic simulation of natural lighting variations.
Moon Cycle Simulation
The Apex has another special control function which can be used to simulate the moon cycle in your tank. The lunar simulator is used for this feature and is capable of varying the intensity of light emitted from its LEDs. The intensity variations are controlled by the Apex which is preprogrammed with correct intensity values for each day of the moon cycle. The Apex automatically updates the intensity value depending upon the current setting of the Apex`s clock. With this artificial moon cycle, it is possible to induce corals and fish to spawn.
WaveMaker
Each pump to be controlled can either have a random or fixed time period. Both the on and off times are fully programmable and can range from 1 minute to 4 hours in 1 minute increments. Four independent variable length feed timer cycle scan be initiated with the press of a button and will disable some or all of the pumps in the system (programmed by the user).
6 Digital Inputs
The Apex comes equipped with 6TTL level external inputs which can be used to activate/deactivate equipment in response to an external stimulus. Applications for these inputs include connection to water level float switches, water pressure and flow sensors, and water on the floor sensors. The Apex can be configured to signal alarms or turn on/off appliances in the event of external switch open or closure.
Modular Expansion through AquaBus
•High reliability protocol with robust error correction
•Virtual unlimited expandability. The most expandable controller.
•Plug and Play – AquaBus modules are automatically recognized and configured
•Cable lengths over 200 feet
•Expandable to 240 AquaBus modules
•Add optional modules to monitor Hundreds of Probes
•Add additional EnergyBars to control thousands of outlets
•All AquaBus modules allow for easy firmware updates
•Probe modules available (or in development) for additional Temperature, pH, ORP, Conductivity, and dissolved oxygen probes
•Module firmware updates done through AquaBus. No need to disassemble controller, and individually update modules
Backward Compatibility
All AquaController 3 accessories work with the AquaController Apex. One major design consideration was to maintain backwards compatibility to protect existing customer’s investment in AquaController compatible equipment.
•I/O port expansion backwards compatible with PX 1000
•Compatible with the breakout box
•Integrated control port - All control port accessories (DC8, DC4, DC4HD, AquaSurf, Lunar Sim)
AquaBus Features
•Two AquaBus connectors for easy expansion, and flexible cabling options
•Plug and Plug bus allows for modular expansion.
Updateable Firmware
•Firmware updates via Ethernet
Flash memory so new features can be easily added
•All AquaBus modules allow for easy firmware updates
•No need to unplug/rewire devices to perform the firmware update (unlike the competition)
Alternate power port on Apex Lite Base Unit
•In power failure situations Alarm emails can still be sent
•Can detect power failures in EnergyBars
•Internal rechargeable backup battery retains clock
•Graph probe/device data on the LCD display
Compact Size
7.5" x 2.6" x 1.10"
