APEX PM2 Module, does it act as Breakoutbox

[thirty5]

I am looking into getting a breakout box for my APEX, but I would also like to get a conductivity/salinity probe, so that would require me to get the PM2 module.

The question is the listing of what the PM2 can do has a listing for *6 digital inputs for float switches, water on floor sensors, pressure sensors, etc.* But in the picture it does not show anything where you can actually connect anything to it. Anyone have any idea???

I just want to make sure that I buy what I need NOW and if this does not act as a breakout box then I am not going to get it.

The PM2 probe module (shown above) , includes support for conductivity (salinity), temperature, and 6 digital inputs. The PM2 features are:

• Monitor/Control Conductivity/Salinity and temperature.
• 4 Measurement ranges (0-900 uS/cm, 0-9.0 mS/cm, 0-90.0 mS/cm, 0-50 ppt)
• 6 digital inputs for float switches, water on floor sensors, pressure sensors, etc.
• Full datalogging support in Apex Base module.
• Up to 240 AquaBus modules can be added to the Apex system.
• Plug and Play. Automatically recognized when installed into the system.
• Two AquaBus connectors for flexible expansion via AquaBus
• Comes with 3' AquaBus cable.
• Galvanic Isolation for accurate and reliable probe readings.
• Led Status Indicator
• Upgradeable firmware.
• Compatible with all Apex systems

have you seen the apex unofficial guide yet??? if not pm me i will help you out. you can use and S video plug and splice it to give you the same inputs as a breakout box would.

Yes I have. I know that there are work arounds and I can make my own BoB, but the question is really will the PM2 also act as a BoB...

I have the unofficial guide on my desktop. But I dont remember seeing the PM2 on there, maybe i just missed it.

The PM2 does not function as break out box. There is confusion because it gives 6 digital inputs but you would still need some way to connect them.

Ok that is what I needed. So it really gives the ability to hook up a second BoB. So I need to either buy a BoB or make one whether I have the PM2

Thank you!!!
