Here's a reply from Curt on another thread in regards to the EB8's...

Thanks D. Curt didn't happen to mention what the price of one will be, did he? I remember reading that each outlet is < $20, which would put it in the same ballpark as the DC8 I suppose. Since I'll be using it solely for my lights, maybe I'll stick with the DC8.

Neptune's order page lists the component pricing.

Maybe the wrong thread but here goes anyway... If I have two tunze pumps (one on each side) then do I need one 1:2 adapter cable or two adapter cables?

I'm just not sure about the V1/V2 and V3/V4 plugs.

 

[clp]

You need just 1 SURFCAB2 cable. It got one RJ45 connector that will plug into the V1/V2 or V3/V4 Apex connector. The 2 DIN5 connectors on the other end of the cable will plug into the streams.

Sweet. The PB8 (can I do that? ) is the same price as the DC8. :smokin:

Thanks Mark.

Okay so my order is in but I am going to want to hook this up to my network via the wireless. I am assumming I will need to use a wireless bridge, any recommendations on which would be the best for the job.

 

[BigAirHarper]

So the Apex can be hooked up to the internet wirelessly? Tell me more please, I am interested too.

Not natively. I think the user was referring to the use of a separate bridge.

Wow, that yperlink didn't come through as I expected. Lets try again...

So with this device, it essentially makes the APEX wireless which then allows it to be hooked up to your home wireless network? If so, that is what I want to do since I would need at least 100ft of ethernet cable to run it thru the wall to my nearest hard wired port.

I have my ACIII connected to the Internet via a wireless bridge like the one mentioned above and it works great.

builderguy,
There are many enhancements to the programming language in Apex. Including:

- Sub second control.
- Virtual Outlets to create complex logic (no need to buy more hardware to get them).
- Enhanced hysterisys
- Default state of on all EnergyBar outlets.
- Power failure detection/action on each energy bar.
- Incredibility flexible wave maker configuration.
- More profiles for diming/variable speed pumps (16 vs. 7 in AC3Pro).

BigAirHarper,
I'd get the same brand wireless adapter as your wireless router, to ensure that there will not be any capatibility issues.

Sounds great Curt...the kinda stuff I'm looking for. Is there a manual yet that shows that stuff so I can wrap my brain around it?

 

[clp]

Sorry, the manual isn't done yet.

Curt

 

[SirVilhelm]

Do you charge the full amount? When you ship?

 

[builderguy]

No worries...thought that may be the case.

 

[clp]

We'll charge the $100 deposit between now and the ship date (no one has been charged anything yet), and the remainder when the unit ships.

Getting ready to pre-order mine, just one question. Does it (or will it at some point) have the capability to monitor salinity?

 

[clp]

Yes, probe modules are in development for pH/ORP, Conducitivty (salinity), and dissolved oxygen.

[Creetin]

Sorry for all the questions. I would like moonlight controll and simulation. Will any of the leds you make already be able to be used or will there be some new stuff for the apex?
Thanks
