I have a Jebao DCT-8000 return pump, recently bought an AQ1Link adapter, did some searching on how to put it all together, and came across this thread:
https://forum.neptunesystems.com/sh...trol-my-Jebao-DCP-10000-pump-by-using-my-Apex
It's been a few years ago, but Mr. Kelly did a good job explaining how to set up the AQ1Link adapter with a Jebao and Apex. My question is this: he used an ethernet cable from the AQ1 to the Apex brain variable speed port, and plugged the power brick into the wall rather than the EB8. To free up plug space on the wall, I had planned on plugging it directly into my EB8. Would I still need the ethernet cable from the adapter to the brain if it's plugged into the EB8? If not, then could I simply program it via the programming tool for that specific outlet, rather than configuring the VarSpd1_I1 ports?
The Jebao came with a somewhat faulty controller- if there's a power interruption it doesn't remember the previous setting and roars all the way up to 10 (the good news is that my overflow box can still handle that!). I run it at 4, so I wanted to program it to run at 40%, and have the Apex remember that when the power comes back on. Is that the reasoning behind using the variable speed ports- not so much that I can run something forwards and backwards, but so that I can run it at a reduced setting? Is there a way to program it from the outlet programming tool to run at 40%, or will I indeed need to use an ethernet cable to the VS port? Thanks for your help!
