New to me. I need help setting it up I have 4 eb8 I won't need them all. This is the first apex system I have owned I don't have the owners manual for any of it. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

Did they give you all the cables? Generally speaking apex connect through daisy chain. I am not sure if they are USB cables or slightly different since i used apex cables but everything connects via a cable that looks like a computer USB cable. See how almost every component has 2 usb slots? Take the cables and run them 1 to the other then take a 2nd cable and take it to the next component etc etc etc.

video is of the newer gen but its basically the same for setup

I have about 10 USB cables and a few that look like a phone cable. Ok thanks Josh

If you can spare an eb8 I could use another one

The phone cables are temperature sensors i beleive? The phone line plugs are also used by the VDM (for dimming lights / pulsing pumps etc etc)

The ORP/PH looks like an old cable tv connector

2 of the eb8's have outlets that will not turn off it the number 6 outlet on both. I had a heater in the #2 and #6 spot and it was working fine both heaters are 500 Watt titanium heaters. Last night everything was fine got up this morning to find the tank at 89.6 f. I changed out the eb8 for another one and it is doing the same thing on the controller it says the outlets are off. Any thoughts about this?

Not sure if this is related but my Apex went nutty this morning with the time change.

My ATO kept going into alarm for no reason right around 1am.

Then my pump decided to turn off.

Just rebooted it but had to reconfigure the pump again, not that big of a deal

It’s the new one, Apex EL
