Thane - and I thought you would get Profilux but i see you didnt want to program in german
I was but when I heard that they were working on the vortech controller I decided to pull the trigger....:splitspin However Im sure the profilux put together a much better manual...
You first need to decide what you want to call the 4HD, I used and set it as D1-4 for mine. I think you are limited to A-D on these.
Next step is to go to the Module setup screen and add "DirectConnet4 (DC4) and fill in "D1" as the Start control address.
You should see "Outlet XXXXX (Cntl1)" and the rest of the outlets in the Outlet Setup screen, you can now rename the outlets to match your equipment needs and program accordingly.
I just got mine today. Does anyone know if you can hook this up to internet wirelessly? Or do you have to run an ethernet cable? I haven't even tried turning it on yet. But the manual doesnt seem to go into much detail. Where can i download the new one?
Wow..... I downloaded the new manual and all i can say Is why would they ship new Apex's with old manual....:irked: The new one is much better and I got the lights finally working....I finnally kind of get it. Got the temp probe and ph probe working as well. But now I still am having problems setting up my 4hd outlet and having it comunicate with the base. The directions once again dont say anything about the pin settings on the 4hd only that you use them to switch on x10 control which I do not need. I assume you need to put the pin in the "on" setting in order for the that specific outlet to work. How did you guys get this thing to connect wireless ?
All in all I have the moon simulator, 1 4hd and 2 eb8's....
Ty sauce, michaelp,creep for getting back so quicly. I havnt even attempted to email or try any other options to connect from outside the network. Did the majority just hook it up to your computer and program or use the apex head unit ?
Thanks again,
Thane
I am using a wireless bridge, others have reported wireless game adaptors from linksys and dlink works as well. Wired will be a better solution if you can go that route, one less thing to fail (or figure out how it works).
Like I didnt have enough problems setting this thing up....I broke the display last night....:irked: Jeez ....well at least it gives me time to read the manual another 6 times while I wait for a new display....lovely
