is my wxm controlling my vortechs?

[tableforglasses]

So I cannot tell if my wxm is controlling my vortechs. I mentioned in a previous post that I am getting too much flow currently with my new vortech mp60's and I am trying to lower the percentage to 20% but I don't think it is changing my vortechs. I have updated the configuration and sent it to the Apex but it still seems like it's too high. Will it adjust the quiet drive controller as well so that I can see and tell that the percentage has gone down. I am just not sure how to trust that is actually working.

If you slide the Votech Button to off does it shut off the controller and power head?

 

[Lithoman]

make sure you are on auto not on.

 

[DarthSimon]

Yes, please post a picture of your outlet and schedule...

Thanks for the quick feedback, they were set to Auto just switched them to On but doesn't seem to have changed it. I can shut them on and off with my apex controller so they are connected on some level. Here is what I am seeing on my vortech controller and here is my dashboard

 

[DarthSimon]

Open the slide on both Vortechs and flip the switch to the center and put them on auto.

Then take pic of fusion dashboard 10-15 seconds later, and kindly post.

Your outlets are set to “On” not Auto. Hence them being on Constant and the Physical Driver being green.

from this photo it looks as if your vortechs are both in constant mode at 100%, which is why its too strong

Switch them to here:

Also when you control the Vortech Drivers with the wxm (black box) you don’t touch them. All control is done in Apex Fusion via the outlet button ( Photo I posted above ) and the Vortech Outlet Configuration page (Grey Icon) that takes you to the schedule... Page you posted above.

Man you must have a nice size tank there? Looks like your doing an AWC...

300 Gallon?

So GlassMunky how doI turn them off from "constant mode"? I tried doing it on the vortech controller but didn't change anything and should I bet to "On" or "Auto"? I have tried both.

As mentioned above and shown in the photo, switch them to AUTO.

You have them set as ON, which makes it full speed. Going to AUTO will go to the programming you setup

So when I switch to auto I am still seeing CNST 100.

What does the programming look like when you hit the gear icon?
In your previous post it tooled like you set the pump to Lagoon 20% all day.
Did you upload those settings to the apex by hitting the up arrow in the top right corner?

 

[DarthSimon]

Clicking the gear will show you the schedule like you posted above.

 

[tableforglasses]

yeah I sent to the apex and I have it all set at 20% just to test it out to see if I can lower it. So far no luck. Only other programming I have is for my feed schedule. Not sure if there is anything there.

I believe the SET ON is your problem.
I believe that makes it full speed all the time.

Post your fusion main page please...

Wouldn’t having them programmed as
SET ON
With no predefined profiles automatically make them run constant 100%

I think the OP needs to setup some profiles and change the programming to a Fallback (Profile)
