That's why I posted it, i am not sure and needed a visual. Deleted old pic and new is here.
Thanks man!

Sorry, I took it as though rhwimmers was insisting it was correct.
It looks good to me, only thing now is your color coding. I recall reading that the black wire is the signal and the red is the ground. Not that it will matter much.

True, but above your post is mine correcting mixer's understanding of the wiring diagram. Either way the updated one is correct.

I believe it will. I don't really trust the apex new user guide because it was incorrect with the 6055. DIN 5 jacks are cheap though, wire one up and if it doesn't work, resolder it or use a new one.
It would be great to find out what the pin outs are for various models, and get some consistent documentation on the matter.

Ill be able to help on the 6105. When you say wire one up and re-solder if it doesnt work...What exactly would you be soldering? My impression is you cut the end off of a din5 cable and crimp that into an rj45 jack (well, you put 2 din5 cables in 1 rj45)...So if you mess up wouldnt you just be re-ending the rj45?
Thanks for the clarification.

Sorry, I forgot you were using a pre-made cable. You could also open up the small enclosure that houses the DIN female jack on the Tunze to see what the pin out is. Thats how I figured out the pin out on my 6055.
Because it's fun. And I assure you the cable I made is far from makeshift. It also only cost me $8 for the 4 DIN 5 jacks. When you look at it $8 vs $40 is a pretty good bargain.

ok so I am still lost.
I tested the Tunze 6055 Female Din 5 and here is what I got
Pins:
1 - 8v
2 - Ground
3 - nothing
4 - nothing
5 - ( I suspect Data, no voltage, but soldered with a wire internally)
I wired it like I diagramed above and it doesn't seem to be working. Are the pumps supposed to still run when you set the variable speed ports to OFF?

Ok this is what I have so far. Using the radioshack part number referenced in the apex unofficial user guide chopped in half (giving me 2 male plugs one one end and 4 wires on the other (red black yellow red). Red and yellow are giving me a reading on my multimeter, it jumps around a bit but they are both under 8vdc one seemed to be around 7.5 the other 7.9, black and white both had no readings at all, so guessing they are ground.
Does that mean I just use one of the "powered" wires (red or yellow) and one of the ground (white or black) and put them in postition 1+2 (1 power, 2 ground) on an rj45? Then the same thing with the other cable, other 6105 but using 5+6?
The alternative would be to use a regular network cable, chop the end off then wire orangewhite (pos1) to my red or yellow and orange (pos 2) to my black or white, just putting them all in a wire cap - seems cleaner to me to go radioshack cable straight into rj45?

You should only need The 0-10vdc from the apex hooked to pin 5 and the Ground. The 8vdc is supposed to be for powering the Tunze controller, so we don't need it.
I'm not sure what is going on with mine since i hooked it up the way I described and its not working. Really weird.
