PM1 Help
How in the world do I hook up the Float switches with the I/O port? It's almost like a S-Video port? Do I need and S-Video cable to hook it up or are these indiviual switch ports? I'm confused please help- Also what good switches are available with a mounting bracket? I know Aqua Hub has them but does anyone make one specifically design for the Apex?
Thanks Frankie

The I/O port is a 8-pin mini DIN connector. You need to buy a breakout box which connects to that port. Float switches in turn connect to the terminals on the BoB.
The BoB can connect to the Apex or Apex Lite base unit (not a Apex Jr), or to any PMx module. There are threads here about building a DIY BoB if you are so inclined. Last edited by RussM; 07/19/2011 at 09:25 AM. |

BoB = breakout box
As I said, it can connect to your PM1. |
