So i set up a vdm and got the icecap y cable to hook up my Varios2 pump to my Apex. When i have the switch on the Apex set to off it turns off the pump as expected. When i move it to auto it runs the profile i created as expected. When i move it to the on position the green light on the Varios controller turns off and the pump defaults back to normal operation like its no longer connected. I can then change the speed on the controller. Anybody know why that is? Shouldn’t it still be Apex controlled and at 100%?
 
Bump this up for the morning crew!
 
Anybody running this setup?
 
I run a Varios 2 with APEX 0-10v (off the classic APEX). I have never tried the on position. Why not just set the pump controller to 100%. Then you’ll have what you’re looking for.

Im more just inquiring if its functioning properly thats all. Somebody told me that it shouldnt disable the variable control when in the on position... i plan on running in auto but I was playing with it trying to figure it out last night. There is not really a hole lot of info in it that i could find. Just want to make sure everything is working right..
