I purchased a gyre/icecap setup to use with my Apex. Its my first time using a Gyre. It has the "Y" cord plugged into the V3/V4 port on the apex. When I power up the gyre, the icecap runs through the startup routine and spins the prop, so I know I have power and the blades work. But, after the startup, it does not respond to the Apex. I am unsure if it is hooked up to V3 or V4, so in both spots I have this coding:

Fallback ON
Set GyreSpeed

For GyreSpeed I have the following:
Sync and Divide not checked
Initial Time 1
On time 10
Off time 10
Min 80
Max 100


Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
 
Got it working. Needed to switch to the other wire on the Y. Not sure why it worked.
Can I ask what icecap you bought ? We are upgrading our tank and recently bought an apex system and want to run gyres with it . That is how I found this post ? Thank you
