AC Jr alert during power failure?

[saltySamurai]

Can the AC Jr alert me when the power fails? I have an AC3 and it has a secondary power source so that when the main fails, it can send an alert. Does the Jr have this same ability? Also, where can I download the user manual? Or is the Apex owner's manual on the Neptune site the only manual available?

You can code it to email you once the power is restored. If you don't have the display there's no audible alerts. I saw something about if you get the optional power adaptor and a ups you can send an alert with the power out but the apex doesn't come with a second source.

The manual is the same for all apex units. You will just not have some functions the others have and will need to use the web set up if you don't have the display.

ACjr does not have power loss alarm capabilities.

The ACjr manual is found on the same page as the Apex manual - just scroll down a bit.

If you meant Apex Jr, it does not have an aux power input.... only the Apex and Apex Lite have it.

Thanks Russ - Apex Jr is what I meant, bad typing on my part. I believe you answered what I wanted to ask - no power loss alarm capability on the Apex Jr since it has no aux power input.

I am not directly familiar with the Apex Jr, but assuming it can detect power loss of an EBx then you have an alternative. Power the base unit from UPS and the EBx from mains. The one that is not on UPS would then serve to detect loss of power.

Expanding on Todd's post, you can still use If Power Apex and If Power EBx statements in programming. The Jr just lacks the Power Monitor feature of its bigger brothers.

thanks for the extra info - things to think about!
