anyone tried to using Jebo WP40?

[Lostinthedark]

I ordered mine on March 6th when it stated it was in stock and I still haven't received a shipping notice.

I got the email yesterday. It said that they have overwhelming demand. Can't imagine how that happened....lol

Hope they don't raise prices

Whats everyone doing for connecting to an Apex?

I made a quick how-to a few pages back.

 

[andyrm66]

Here's a quick one

For Neptune Apex:

0-10v analog input PWM module:
Search ebay for LED DIMMER PWM 10 A.12VDC-24 VDC; POT. or 0-10V control

Cat5e ethernet cord

Wire nuts or solder and heat shrink tubing

Solid core wires (or wires that can handle up to 5A) stevesleds has some

Unscrew the controller casing

24- is blue
24+ is reddish
VA is green yellow and remains untouched

Cut the blue and red wire about halfway down, so you have enough wire connected to the controller still, and some down the cord.

Add solid core wire to extend the wire length with wire nuts, solder, or some way to connect the wires securely.

The 0-10v PWM module terminals look like this -+ +-

The first -(blue) and +(red) go to the pump wires

The next +(red) -(blue) are the ones connected to the controller internals 24+ and 24- points

The following saves you $14 over getting a neptune vdm cord.

Cut one end of a Cat 5e ethernet cord off.

Keep the following wires:
orange/white wire (positive) - orange wire (negative)
blue/white wire (positive) - green wire (negative)

When plugged into the first VDM port, blue/white green is V1, oranges are V2
Second port, blue white green is V3, oranges V4

On the 0-10v module for V1, connect blue/white to + on 0-10v control input terminal , green to - control.

Put the controller back together in a project box, do a really good job with electrical tape taping the loose box together, or fit it all inside somehow and screw back together.

Set profiles and you're done.

Since the PWM is 12-24 Volt, doesn't this mean we will only be able 12-24 volts? Meaning 50-100% pump speed?

The pump is 12-24v. You get the full 0-100%

Okay, I see. So 12volt is basically off?
How do you like it hooked up to your Apex?

How are these power heads regarding temp?

Oh wow, just spent the day reading the thread. Glad i did, this thread alone just saved me about $1.5k in purchases. So thank to those who put in a great deal of effort and time into pretty much being the guinea pigs of the pump.

I didn't notice any temp rise since I put in 2 WP40s in my 92g tank. The pump consumes between 13w-20w running on variable power supply there is very little heat generated. May be in the summer months I may notice the difference.

 

[jrp1588]

I hope these pump a bit of heat. My house gets cold at night. I have trouble keeping the tank warm enough.

 

[SeedlessOne]

SeedlessOne, with your comment about not enough memory, will you recommend if someone who is thinking about getting a RA controller and wants to control a pump like WP40 with all kinds of wave modes that you would recommend a RA+ over a standard RA?

Put it another way: will most standard RA users max out on their memory by adding control to run the WP40?

I have the regular and I've yet to run into any issues. Some people make custom readouts on the LCD and that tends to take up some space. Since I make 99% of my adjustments via iPhone app I dont need much info on my reefangel LCD. Also if you ever run out of space you can always upgrade for $75.

 

[bhazard451]

No change whatsoever over when I was running MP40s. The apex graph looks the same as before them.

I ordered one on the 8th and haven't recieved anything. I have emailed them several times with no response.

Just got shipping confirmation on mine!

I ordered on 3/12 and just got shipping confirmation! Here we go!

 

[Jorgens]

I'm going to have to try one as well. Esp since we have the apex part figured out!!! Great job gang....

I ordered 2 wp40s and came home this morning and found only 1 had been delivered. It had 2 different addresses on it. One to a guy in California and another with my address in Indiana. On my address it also had the name of the guy from the California adress.
The tracking ID was different then what I was given in my confirmation email.

I just emailed fish-street and also filled out a contact form on their web site. I included a picture of the package i had with the 2 addresses. I guess I'll be finding out how their customer service is.

me too !
ordered march 9th

 

[Recliner]

Just got a reply from them. They confirmed that I shouldn't have gotten the package I did and that my 2 are still on their way to me.
They did not say anything about what I should do with the one I have already...so it's going in my tank and I'll return one of the 2 still coming to me if they want it back. Maybe I got 3 for $210!

Dude! You got my pump!

I have since moved so ill pm my new address.
