    Question EB 8

    I just purchased a new EB-8 to connect my 4 RedSea rear circulation pumps I have a EB-832 as well and I will like to connect the eb-8 to the apex 832.
    How I’ll do that ?
    Do I connect the power cable straight to the wall power outlet?
    Where I connect the aquabus cable (usb) on to the EB-832 ?

    Eb8 goes in the wall. The aquabus can be connected however you want as long as you don't make a loop.

    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.

    Don't make a loop means you can plug it into any module connected to your system right now, but don't use a second cable to connect to a second module.

    Use this code to turn off for a feed.

    Fallback ON
    Set ON
    If FeedA 000 Then OFF

    The USB must be plugged in. That's how it talks to the apex.

    Either. What zombie meant was don't connect it to more than one module that is already on the aquabus. In other words, there should not be more than one path back to the base unit.

    Doesn't matter. Whatever you prefer to make it look pretty.
