Hello all,

I am cross posting this from the Neptune forum looking for help.

Recently I acquired an SBReef LED bar and attempted to hook it up to 0-10v port. I followed the wiring via a video on YouTube by SBReef. When I plugged it in I noticed that the dimmer was not working and it ended up frying my ports and melted a resistor off the RJ45 ports. There are 4 wires that go from the driver to the potentiometer board.

On / off
VCC
0-10
Ground

It looks like when hooked up the way the video explains that the driver sends power to the APEX. I’m told this is incorrect and the APEX is supposed to send the signal to the driver.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
 
I attached images of the potentiometer board and the driver
