How to connect jebao pumps to the apex

Recipe2reefing · Apr 21, 2020

Hi. I would like to buy a JEBAO/JECOD PUMP TO NEPTUNE SYSTEMS LINKAGE ADAPTER. iv noticed some people are using a variable speed port. Can I connect the adapror straight to the Ethernet port on the apex ?

No, the Ethernet port is strictly for a network cable to connect to your router.

The 0-10v variable ports (see the black arrows below) have the same shape connector, but are used for an entirely different purpose:

Hopefully you don't have the Apex-EL, because it does not include 0-10v ports. You'd need to add an optional VDM module to get variable ports for the Apex-EL.

Also, one jebao adapter let's you connect 2 pumps, so you'll only need to use one port for 2 pumps.

Ok so from what I understand. where you have the two arrows is where I can plug in the jebao adaptor
