Russ, Zombie or anyone else, please help
I am living in the Philippines about 60-70%of the year. I have a 2016 Apex on my 160 gal Reef, but I have 6 devices that are not 110 compatible. I have created an 8 outlet box with 6 solid state relays 2x2 + 4x1. It’s my desperate man’s 220v Apex. I am trying to figure out how I can use a breakout box to turn the relay on and off. If not a breakout box, and I use the 4 1-10v ports.
The BoB ports seem to have 3.3v and and are technically closed even though they show open in Fusion. I also cannot figure out how to control the in Fusion. ie: turn off skimmer when I enter feed mode A. This seems like it would be simple, a command that say
If FEEDA 000 on then OFF
Delay 10:00 then ON
One example is my skimmer is 220v only, so I cannot turn it off during feed mode. If I can use the BoB to control the relay outlet, I can set this to turn off the outlet in feed mode with 10:00 min delay after the feed cycle end and the h2 return pumps, 2 gyres and 2 power heads come back on. Otherwise the skimmer over flows.
I also cannot force the chiller off IF the chiller temp controls where to get stuck on, and the temp gets to low. I can turn off the pump feeding the chiller, but I would still have cold water flowing due to convection.
4 lights and chiller are also 220v.
Btw, I have tried like crazy to buy an EB6, but no one in US carries them, Neptune refuses to sell direct, and the distributors in Singapore, Thailand, and Philippines have been non-responsive/worthless, even after Neptune put be in direct touch with them. I guess no one wants my money. I even asked about becoming the Philippine distributor for Neptune.
Thank you in advance. You guys are always great help.
