My WMX Module has SW Rev 004 (my EB8's have SW Rev 009)...
Any one with an Apex and WMX verify some numbers?

The other line reads:
Rev 1.1 RF Rev 1.2 (1,1,1,1)
VorTech_Left Rev 2.2 Ser# xxxxxxxxxxxxxx OK-1

I seem to be able to control the VorTech from the Apex and the profiles. I am planning to add a 2nd MP40 (arriving tomorrow) I just want to make sure things are OK with 1 before I start messing with 2…

While following the VorTech firmware update instructors the pump successfully flashed red/white but when it was suppose to flash white/blue for phase 2 if was flashing GREEN/blue rapidly… and then the Apex reported that 1 pump was upgraded. The pump was successfully “attached” to the WMX unit following the other steps.

When ‘power cycling’ the pump I really do not see the indications of “For example, 3 green blinks followed by 1 blue blink indicates version 3.1.” I don’t really see any thing that would resemble a green blink.

My Apex Controller version reports as 4.12_5A12
MP40 #1 bought with in the last 6 months...

Thoughts?

Thanks worm'... the numbers look comparable to mine.
Let me know how you make out if you do any software/firmware updates (Unless you have)...

I can see my pumps SN# in the web panel. I just blanked it for the web...
Since the pumps diver firmware upgrade didn't go as described in the manual, that was my main concern. But the pump seems to function changing modes via the Apex just fine.

Ok, I received my 2nd MP40 today and got it installed... And got it attached to the Apex WXM... And little playing and I even figured out Anti-Sync. So now each pumps ramps up/down the way I want in Reef Crest! Even setup a profile for Night (low flow) and Feed settings as well as NTM.

According to my web interface all version numbers do match as described above.
Rev 1.1 RF Rev 1.2
VorTech_Left Rev 2.2 Ser# xxxxxxxxxxxxxx OK-1
VorTech_Right Rev 2.2 Ser# xxxxxxxxxxxxxx OK-2

When I try EcoSmart Automatic Update it downloads... But then reports download failed.. and to try again? So are they already up to date or what?

Otherwise they do seem to be functioning...
WXM Module still reads SW Rev 004
