Water Pumps
Return Pump
The Return Pump is Controlled by the 0-10v Output #2 on the Apex Base Unit. The Motor Driver (WS55-180) Regulates the Speed of the Pump Motor Based off the Voltage Output of the Apex Base unit. Pump Profiles are used to Change the Flow of Water Throughout the Day. During normal operations the Return Pump uses Profile Pump_79. When the Chiller turns on the Return Pump uses Pump Profile Pump_100. If output V_FeedMode is ON, L_WL_4 is Open (Water level Low Sensor), output WaterOnFloor is ON, output 24vPumpPower is ON or output AWC_Disable is ON then the Return Pump will Turn Off.
Return Pump Chamber Water Level Sensors H_WL_2, O_WL_3 & L_WL_4 (located in Left Rear Chamber)
Return Water Pump Jeabo DCP-2500 (located in Left Rear Chamber)
Powerheads
The Left Powerhead is Controlled by the 0-10v Output #3 on the Apex Base Unit. The Motor Driver (Jeabo SW-4) Regulates the Speed of the Pump Motor Based off the Voltage Output of the Apex Base unit. The Right Powerhead is Controlled by the 0-10v Output #3 on the Apex Base Unit. The Motor Driver (Jeabo SW-4) Regulates the Speed of the Pump Motor Based off the Voltage Output of the Apex Base unit. Timers are Used to Change Pump Profiles. Profiles are used to Change the Flow of Water Throughout the Day.

Change Filter Indicator
When the water level in the Filter Chamber reaches the Middle of the Sensor for 1 minute the Virtual Output ChangeFilter will turn on. When this happens EmailAlm_I5 will turn on and send a notification. Clean or Replace the Filter & Clean the Sensor Face. When the Water Level in the Filter Chamber is lower than the Middle of the Sensor ChangeFilter & EmailAlm_I5 will turn off. When the alarm turns off a Notification that the alarm is off will be sent.

Check Co2 Scrubber (Located on the Back of the Cabinet)
Used to Remove Co2 from the Skimmer Intake. Fill Cartridge completely with Soda Lime. The Soda Lime will change color from White to Violet When it needs to be Changed. You will also notice the PH Level in the Display Tank is Lower Than Normal when it needs to be Changed. If the PH Falls Below 7.9 a Notification will be sent Indicating the Scrubber needs to be Checked.

Auqa Gadget MiniMax 7301 Media Reactor (Outlet #1)
Fill the Reactor with Carbon, GFO or any other Media that can to be run through a Fluidized Reactor. Rotate the Center Chamber to Control the Flow. To Replace the Media, pull the Center Chamber out of the Housing. Remove the cap. Clean the Chamber & Sponges. Refill with Media. Reinstall the Chamber into the Housing and Rotate to Adjust the Flow. Flow requirements differ based on the Media so be sure to set the Flow correctly for the Media being used. The Reactor is controlled by Rocker Switch #3 (R_Sw_3). When Rocker Switch #3 is in the ON Position & the Flow of the Return Pump is less than 50 GPH for 5 Seconds the Power to Outlet #1 will turn OFF until the Flow is above 50 GPH. If the main power has been Interrupted for 5 Seconds the Power to Outlet #1 will Turn OFF until the Power is Restored.

Vivosun Titanium 200 Watt Heater (Outlet #2)
The Heater is located in the Right Rear Chamber. The Thermostat is located on the Back of the Tank Stand. The Heater gets plugged into the Top Left Outlet of the 120v Power Center. The Heater is controlled by Rocker Switch #5 (R_Sw_5). When the switch is in the ON position, it uses Apex Logic from the Return Pump Flow Sensor (Flow), The Apex Base Unit Temp Sensor (Tmp) & The Temp Sensor from the PM2 Module (Tmpx4). If the Flow Sensor is less than 75 GPH it will shut OFF Power to Outlet #2. If the Temperature drops Below 74.5 Degrees & the Flow Sensor reads Above 50 GPH then the Power to Outlet #2 will turn ON. If the Temperature Rises Above 75 Degrees, The Flow Sensor reads Below 75 or The Main Power has been Interrupted, then the Power to Outlet #2 will Defer for 5 Seconds then Turn OFF. Set the Thermostat on the Heater to Turn OFF at 76 Degrees, based off of the Temperature Reading of The Apex Base Unit Not the Heater Thermostat Temperature Reading. This way the Apex will have control of the Heater & the Heater Thermostat becomes a Backup in case of a Failure. The Apex Logic uses 2 Temperature Sensors to control the Heater. This way there are a total of 2 Failsafe’s. If the Main Power has been Interrupted for 5 Seconds the Heater will Turn OFF until the Power is Restored.
