Help: How to program Kessil H160 on Apex

[Skep18]

Can anyone advise on how to go about programming the Kessil H160 on the Apex?

I've already got two VarioS pumps on the first 0-10V outlet. They're also plugged in on the EB832.

Right now the H160 is plugged in to the 0-10V but not occupying an outlet on the EB832.

I tried basic lighting settings on the Var3 and Var4 variable outlets but the light didn't respond.

Any help is appreciated.

Are the variable speed ports set to Auto? I personally like the wizard on Fusion for setting up light profiles.

Unless it has changed with the new Kessils they won't power on until they are over 15% or somewhere close to that number. Color has the full range from 0% to 100%

I knew I forgot to do something! Ty. The light came on.

Next question, any idea how to control the intensity and spectrum? I made a RAMP profile and that is changing the spectrum, however Idk if this is the right profile and/or how to effect intensity.

I just sent an email to Kessil asking them. Not sure if they can/will advise how to use a Neptune product with theirs but we'll see. ;)

variable speed 1 (or 3) is one and variable speed port 2 (or 4) is the other. I cant remember which is which but you should be able to tell by switching the outlet to "ON" which ever is color will change enough to see the difference on the A360s, and I would think would be noticeable on the H160.

My preferred way to control the Kessil on my setup is with the wizard on Neptune Fusion. the ramp profiles work fine but the Wizard is much fasted and more intuitive IMHO

Thanks @Drauka99 ! About the same time, Neptune Support sent me the link to the A360 instructions. They said it works the same, just like you described above.

Odd # ports (variable speed) control spectrum and Even # ports control intensity. I would find the percentage for the "grow" spectrum and leave that set for the duration. Intensity depends on what you were using before? Start low and slowly ramp up every week until you see the chaeto (or your preferred macro) start to bleach/burn a little and you have your max setting. The "grow" spectrum is perfect for macros. Good luck!
