I have connected the Reef Octopus Regal 150INT w/ Varios 2 Pump into my Apex Base Unit Variable Speed (0/10V) using the Icecap Y module cable (compatible w/ VarioS pump). When I turn on the skimmer w/ Y mod cable connected - the skimmer goes into full power - overflowing the skimmer in seconds. Regardless of all 4 VARSPD turned on (or off) seems to have no control over the skimmer. Once I disconnect the Y cable from the skimmer (so I can use the skimmer control box to control) - I am able to run the skimmer pump at a normal speed - everything is normal - except for the fact I am not controlling the skimmer with the Apex. The power supply for the skimmer is plugged directly into a battery backup UPS - not the Apex Energy Bar.
I am unable to identify which VARSPD controls the pump since turning them all on or off has no effect. I am able to identify the "4 green lights" on the Apex Base Unit go on and off as I turn on or off the VARSPD in Fusion. I think the first step would be to know which VARSPD controls the pump (with the simply on/off test) - so I could move forward with configuring the correct VARSPD as a skimmer.
Have I misconfigured a hardware setup? Am I missing steps needed on the Apex Fusion configuration?
