Using a waveline Return pump like a Vectra
Posted: Mon Feb 22, 2016 9:13 am
I'm setting up a frag tank, and I have an extra Waveline 1200 to use on the system (I know, alot of flow)
Since I have the extra Waveline, I decided i was going to use it like a vectra, and have it ramp up and down through-out today. I figured i could just use the Dcpump class, and have it on Reef Crest.
I have the newer waveline that is Apex ready. It lets you plug in an Ethernet cord into the pumps head unit, and send it 0-10 voltage.
my two questions are:
1) Does anyone know which wires on the ethernet cord I need to plug into the RA?
2) Is there a way to set a minimum and max speed on the waveline? So that I can change speeds through out the day, and have it never go lower or higher than a certain speed?
this could be a good alternative to people that don't want to spend the money on a Vectra, but would like to use their RA with a DC pump to create the same effects.
