Description

* Designed for a USA-style 120V power grid.
* Eight controllable outlets. Six of these outlets are controlled by super-silent solid-state triacs and are rated at 5A. Two of the outlets are controlled by high-current mechanical relays and are rated at 10A.
* Each Energy Bar can consume a total of 15A and has a built-in 15A circuit breaker.
* Six AquaBus connectors so you’ll have five free to connect to more modules or Energy Bars.
Each Energy Bar outlet can be configured to be either in an off or on state if the power were to fail and then come back on or if there was a communication failure with the Apex base unit. Which means if, for instance, your heater was on when the power went off, you must have it programmed to be off until keep watch over was reestablished with the Apex base unit. Or, as another example, you must program your main return pump to all the time be in the on position in case of failure.

This feature is very important as many other controllers in the marketplace may leave the outlet in its last position or possibly default the entire outlets to off or on. This is even true if they simply lose communication with their base unit because of a system failure, software bug, communication issue, lightning strike, etc. Not good. Consider if you were away from home and a storm took out your Apex – the Energy Bar would just fall back to the Failsafe state you had programmed for such an incident. No worries.

One additional advanced feature is that when you use an additional Energy Bar on a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) you’ll be able to have key lifesaving devices (low power power heads and bubblers) on there that will automatically go into their Failsafe State once power failure is detected. This can keep your tank alive and healthy for hours on a good UPS until the power comes back online. This will run completely unattended and is ideal to give you peace of mind when you are away from home whether out for the evening or on a two-week cruise!
