http://brs.li/neptuneapex In our fourth episode of the Neptune Apex series, we'll cover the energy bar as well as power management. The energy bar, which comes standard with the Apex, has a total of eight outlets and an overall power rating of 15 amps. You'll want to count the amps on all of your equipment to ensure it doesn't go over 15. • There's also two types of outlets on the energy par; 6 which run on TRIACs that can handle up to 5 amps, and two which are controlled via relays and can operate up to 10 amps each. • So why don't all of the outlets use relays? Good question. It's really just because they make a small clicking noise when they turn off/on which is probably not preferred for equipment like a wavemaker that constantly turns off/on. • You do have the option to pick up a second or third energy bar, which come in four and eight blocks. It's really a cost per outlet calculation. The energy bar with eight is $20 an outlet, and with four is $30 an outlet. If you are absolutely sure you will never need more than four, then go with the four. Otherwise, we'd recommend the eight. • A few last tips: • If you have issues with an individual product not working correctly, try plugging it into one of the relay outlets on the end and it will likely solve your issue. • One of the best tools for measuring amps or watts is a cheap $20 tool called a kilowatt which can tell you the power consumption information of every item in your system. • If you have any questions or advice for our fellow reefers, please use the comment system below. • Check out the entire Apex line: http://brs.li/neptuneapex • Watch the whole playlist: • Neptune Systems Apex Controller Overview • Connect with us on Facebook: / bulkreefsupply • Check out our pics on Instagram: / bulkreefsupply
