Faulty Variable Speed Ports: Need help confirming they are bad.
I have been trying to control 2 DC pumps via the variable speed ports to no avail. I need to confirm if the ports are working correctly before I dive into the pumps themselves. Here is what I am doing and the results.
I am testing via male ethernet cable end (patch cable)... so pins go R to L 1-8.
I am getting 0v between 1&2 and 5&6 (which I believe are +/- V for V1 and V2 respectively)
I am getting 10-14v between pin 6&8 and 2&8? (so 2 and 6 are hot) and 8 is ground?

Depending on what DC pump you are using, some are not controllable with the Apex. If you try, you could damage the ports. I read that you are using a DC12000. Are you sure it is the DC and not the DST or DCT? If the pump is blue, then you should be good. If it is any other color, then it is not the DC and it is not controllable with Apex. I only ask as they stopped making the DC pump a long time ago.
Yes I was careful to get the DC1200. It is the blue bodied ones.
Also Ive used two separate patch cables with the same results.
