Tunze 6055 DIN pin assignment

[rhwimmers]

They are both giving me a reading - ive got my black (ground) on a black (ground) wire and then put the red meter on the yellow and red cable plugged into the tunze and both give me readings?

 

[mixer911]

Your right. I just retested mine and both have 7.8 vdc. These are driving me crazy, lol.

I have been following this and just got my 6055 today. I built a box for my VS ports and am good with all of that. But before I melt something down, am I plugging the VS cable into the small rectangular box on the pump line with the five pin female DIN and the DC power jack? Or do I need some sort of Tunze control box?

Thanks,
John

Never mind, rolled the dice, it works and nothing melted. Not sure why, but it does.

[mixer911]

how did you wire yours John?

 

[rhwimmers]

Yeah, did you take the blue or yellow pill? # ; )

 

[eyesolator]

The heck with pin numbers. Looking at the back/side you solder, of the DIN plug ground is the top center and hot is the lower left. On my DIN the #s are 2 - ground, 1 - hot. This corresponds with the Tunze DIN ground (yellow) at the top and the other wire (brown) that doesn't seem to do anything when the power is on, on the lower left. Real technical explanation! But what I know about electronics is I don't know anything about electronics.
It just doesn't seem to make sense to me that it works. I would have thought that the Apex voltage would have plugged into the DC module and controlled the DC output there. Must be something going on it the motor, oh well it works.

Good Luck!
John

thanks that helps. I know what you mean about not knowing what it is doing. Really weird.

Sorry I haven't been able to help you guys.

I will post pictures of my cable wiring when I get home.

rhwimmers, is there any chance you can post pictures of the wiring on the female jack on your Tunze? That way we can determine whether or not there really is any difference in the pin out for different Tunze pumps.

 

[mixer911]

Thanks Metal Man.

Mine still isn't doing anything. And I know I have to have it correct. BTW I am using a 6095 which should be like the 6055.

 

[Metal Man 1221]

Well just to clear up my wiring for you; On the RJ45 (for V1) pin 5 is the ground which matches up with pin 2 on the male DIN jack. Pin 6 on the RJ45 is the signal wire which matches up with pin 3 on the male DIN jack.

Have you put your hand in the tank to feel the flow? I know after I fixed the bad wiring on the female DIN on the Tunze, I thought it still wasn't working, until I placed my hand in front of the pump and realized that it was.

I get off here in about ten minuets, so I should be able to get pics up in the next 30-40 minuets.

Here they are, sorry for the bad quality.

Here is the wiring on the male DIN jack, the red wire is the ground on pin 2 and the black is the signal on pin 3

And here is the wiring on the Tunze female DIN jack. The grey wire on the left is on pin 4 which I assume is the 8v supply for the Tunze controller. The yellow wire in the middle is the ground on pin 2. Finally the brown wire on the right is the 0-10v signal wire on pin 3.

This is on a 6055, so I don't know it it will be the same for all controllable Tunze pumps. However, it would be nice to see some pictures of other models in order to differentiate the wiring among various pumps.

 

[mixer911]

Cool. That is the same as the 6095 even the capicator. I have it wired like your describing now, so I will have to see if I can feel the flow diference. When you set the Apex for that outlet (VS1) to OFF, should the pump turn OFF? That is what I was thinking it should do right?

 

[Metal Man 1221]

Yes, setting V1 to manual off will turn the pump off. Doing so may aid you in the process of testing the connection between the Apex and
Tunze.

 

[mixer911]

Thats what I thought. Really Weird, mine won't go off. Gonna try to re-wire it all and try again.

 

[Metal Man 1221]

If you can post pictures I may be able to help you troubleshoot your wiring.

 

[eyesolator]

Metal Man, are you seeing the #3 on the Tunze female DIN with the brown wire? Mine is labeled #1, as is my male DIN.
Just curious

John

 

[Metal Man 1221]

I just took a look at it, and yes, it seems that the pin that the brown wire is on is labeled as pin 1, but it corresponds to pin 3 on the male DIN jack.

 

[mixer911]

I will try and get you a pic. I know its wired correctly. Driving me crazy.

 

[Metal Man 1221]

It might be worth your time to carefully look for damaged solder points. I went crazy trying to figure it out until I took a closer look at it.

 

[mixer911]

Ok So I firgured it out. My Apex VS ports are not working. I have a VDM module and I hooked the pumps up to that and they are working perfect now. So now time to contact Neptune

Thanks for the help. I knew I was wiring it correctly.
