    VDM for AI Hydra 26 HD

    I ordered a VDM module to control 4 AI Hydra 26 HD lamps that came with my Red Sea 750. Will I need some other cables or adaptors to make it function? I've been out of the hobby for a couple of years and I'm a bit rusty on this new Apex I ordered. TIA

    The VDM does not control any model of Hydra... the serial port is used only for AI Sols, some ZetLight fixtures, and some Acan Lighting brand LED fixtures.

    The Hydra HD series is not controllable with the Apex; only the older, non-HD Hydras can be fully controlled. The Hydra HDs are limited to only ON/OFF control of AC power.
    Please do not send me PMs with technical questions or requesting assistance - use the forums for Apex help. PM me ONLY if the matter is of a private or personal nature. Thanks.

    Well damn! I thought I saw a post that had it to control them but I guess I'm wrong (again).

    As always, thank you Russ.
