Creating a Virtual Outlet

For the Apex Classic:

All physical outlets are created when a physical module is added to the AquaBus. Virtual outlets are no different – you add a virtual module and get virtual outlets as a result. To add a virtual module, you use the Configuration → Module Setup page .


1. Select the module type you want to add. The number of outlets created is based on the type of module you select:
a. Lunar Simulator – 1 virtual outlet
b. AquaSurf – 4
c. DC4 – 4
d. DC8 – 8
2. Once you create the module you will see the new outlets with their default names. Rename the outlets as you wish using the Configuration - Outlet Setup page.
3. If you only need 3 outlets for example, you could create a DC4 then either delete the fourth un-used outlet (via the Configuration - Module Setup - Delete outlet function) or simply rename it something for later use. OUTLET NAMES MUST BE UNIQUE - DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RENAME MULTIPLE OUTLETS 'UNUSED' FOR EXAMPLE. INSTEAD, NAME THEM 'UNUSED1', 'UNUSED2', UNUSED3', etc.

Virtual outlets may also be created using the display menu. Go to Setup->Module Setup->Add Module.

NOTE: Virtual outlets cannot be created through APEX Fusion if the Apex is a Classic/Gold/Lite/Jr


For the Apex (2016) model:

Virtual Outputs are added or deleted by using the Outputs page in either APEX Local or APEX Fusion. Click the Add/Delete button in the upper right (it looks like an electrical outlet in a cloud).
