Apex programming eb832

ColonelCrow · Oct 22, 2022

Tore down all my electronics and relocated then and added some new tech but had remembered a problem i had when i first set the apex up.

When i fist setup the aquarium i remember figuring out how to setup the eb and name its ports to my liking.

Now that i have 2 eb832 i cant remember what i had to do at the start just for one and am just trying to quickly identify each port to tie in my heaters to the apex thermostat.

Ive tried googling but i swear google just wants to get you to click on stuff they get paid for you to click on these days rather than actually giving you what you searched for...

If anyone could give me a quick run down or a link to something setting up and identifying all outlets on multiple ebs id really appreciate it!

Have you checked out the Neptune systems comprehensive user guide? It lays things out pretty well.

If you added a new eb8 you will need to go module tab to see if it needs upgrade. Upgrade it then go to main screen and click lock at top and pull down your new plugs. When finished lock it back. Name them what you want. Have fun

I have never seen this! Real curious there isn't a link to this on the fusion app. Thanks!

So I've figured that part out but I'm not able to get any power from the unit. I'm thinking I may have naming issues though it doesn't appear the case but the original 832 was unplugged and the new 832 was plugged in before the original. From the manual:

"The way around this is to run the Initialize Aquabus command from the display module to blow away the old outlet names."

What display module? How do I run this command? Or could there be another reason? All outlets are set to on. The little red ! doesn't say anything or I can't find a way to see any error?

Buddy stopped by and asked did you try unplugging and plugging it back in as he proceeds to do just that and it works fine now. Que IT guys eye roll...

Hate when that happens, but usually get over it quickly now that it works again!
