    I tried with a powersupply of 9v 500mA and I can see the jebao pump turn on but not change velocity. Is this by the 3v missing on the powersupply? the Aquasurf leds turn on and they blink.

    A 9V will work. It must be a 9V power supply. You can get one that is rated for more current (like a 1A), but it must be EXACTLY 9V and must be AT LEAST 200mA

    I used my multimeter and the 9v powersupply delivers 15v and another one I have of 12v 800ma delivers 20v.
    What do you think?

    Regardless of what the power supply says, the output needs to be 9V DC. I do not know whether your meter is just severely out of calibration or whether you are using non-universal power supplies with a input voltage different than what they are designed for.

    The 9v powersupply is the one that arrived with an AquaC Jr.
    So, if it is delivering 15v, it must work right?

    I am using this code:

    If Time > 11:30 Then FRG ON
    If Time > 21:30 Then FRG OFF

    If Timer FRG = ON Then WV1 PF1
    If Timer FRG = OFF Then WV1 PF3
    If Timer FRG = ON Then WV2 PF2
    If Timer FRG = OFF Then WV2 PF4
    PMP MODE sD for PF1
    PMP Int 035/100 for PF1
    PMP OSC 12/12/00 for PF1
    PMP MODE sD for PF2
    PMP Int 035/100 for PF2
    PMP OSC 00/12/12 for PF2
    PMP MODE SD for PF3
    PMP Int 035/050 for PF3
    PMP OSC 20/20/00 for PF3
    PMP MODE SD for PF4
    PMP Int 035/050 for PF4
    PMP OSC 00/20/20 for PF4
    Is this correct?

    9VDC is correct to use, not 12 volts.

    AC adapters aka "wall warts" will often read high when there is no load on them.
    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.

    This is incorrect. The AquaSurf uses a 9V DC AC adapter, 3.5 mm phono jack, tip positive, => 200 mA. FWIW, a 9VDC PS is not needed when an AquaSurf is used with Tunze STREAMS, which supply power to the AquaSurf through the DIN5 connection.

    My responses corrected above. I was unaware of this and going off of what torx recommended.

    I stand corrected as well. I was just going off what I found online.

    Can Jebao pumps be controled by an AC3?

    12v 500mA is for the Apex aux power input.

    I didn't trust my own memory- I was fairly sure it uses 9v but wanted to be 100% sure before posting anything here. I found an old post from Curt with the requirements for the AquaSurf power - yup, 9v.

    ok, in this case I am using the correct powersupply. Why the Jebaos are not switching speed?

    Check the voltage at the ethernet pins. Do you see the right voltage there?

    Do you mean on the Aquasurf side?

    Kind of. On the ethernet cable connected to the aqua surf side. You should see 10V at 100%, 5V at 50% and 0V at 0%

    Ok, I connected the cable directly to the aquasurf (just ethernet cable) and followed th pinout Torx mentioned (pin 3-4 and 7-8).
    On Pin 3-4 I am getting 1.7V and Pin 7-8 I am getting 9V.
    I can not see any variation.
    Is it burned? bad configured or what?
    Thanks !

    Here is the code I am using. T5A is ON when testing is performed:
    WV1#-E01
    WV2#-E02
    WV3#-E03
    WV4#-E04
    WV5#-H01
    WV6#-H02


    If Timer T5A = ON Then WV1 PF1
    If Timer T5A = OFF Then WV1 PF3
    If Timer T5A = ON Then WV2 PF2
    If Timer T5A = OFF Then WV2 PF4
    If Timer T5A = ON Then WV3 PF1
    If Timer T5A = OFF Then WV3 PF3
    If Timer T5A = ON Then WV4 PF2
    If Timer T5A = OFF Then WV4 PF4
    If Timer T5A = ON Then WV5 PF1
    If Timer T5A = OFF Then WV5 PF3
    If Timer T5A = ON Then WV6 PF2
    If Timer T5A = OFF Then WV6 PF4
    Pmp MODE sd for PF1
    Pmp Int 035/100 for PF1
    Pmp OSC 08/08/00 for PF1
    Pmp MODE sd for PF2
    Pmp Int 035/100 for PF2
    Pmp OSC 00/08/08 for PF2
    Pmp MODE Sd for PF3
    Pmp Int 035/040 for PF3
    Pmp OSC 20/20/00 for PF3
    Pmp MODE Sd for PF4
    Pmp Int 035/040 for PF4
    Pmp OSC 00/20/20 for PF4
