Wavebox 6208.

@rvitko Can the wavebox 6208 be connected to and controlled by an Apex?

 

[rvitko]

It could, but I would be surprised if anyone would find that simpler than the included controller. Wave timing is very precise and requires a lot of trial and error, so a simple manual controller tends to make it easier. You need the ability to get the timing to within 100th of a second to really maximize the wave.

@rvitko Could you have the Wavebox controlled by the Tunze wave timer and have the Apex as power source through the EB832 to shut power on/off to the Wavebox for a feed timer? After the off time for feed interval would the Wavebox to back to it's original settings? Is there another way to have an auto-set feed interval through the Wavebox controller without actually having to manually pushing the feed mode button?

 

[rvitko]

I have not used an Apex, but I would assume that would be OK and would work.

Basically my questions are asking: if the power to the Wavebox was removed would the programming be saved and how long of a power outage can the programming be saved?

 

[rvitko]

It should be saved, but it is stored by a capacitor, so depending on duration it was off, it could be lost. You would just have to try it, I would assume a short pause to feed would not be an issue.

What is the controller device number for this wavemaker and can it be connected to a PC like other Tunze controller devices?
