SÅ MEGET MERE END ET PowerStrip
De Energy Bars til rådighed for vores Apex systemer er meget mere end en glorificeret strømskinne. I virkeligheden er denne del af dit akvarium controller udstyr er langt vigtigere end de fleste mennesker er klar over – og ikke alle systemer er skabt lige!
Det er indlysende, at denne komponent er nøglen til at styre tingene på dit akvarium, men hvad er ikke så tydelig, er, hvordan det er afgørende at forhindre katastrofe i dit akvarium. Her er hvordan.
LET’S START WITH CONSTRUCTION
We have put a lot of thought into the construction of our Energy Bars. Unlike our competitors and simple power strips, our Energy Bars are made out of 16 gauge, powder-coated aluminum.
CURRENT SENSING DEVICE
The Energy Bars continually send their information on their present current drain to the Apex controller. This is incredibly useful information for a number of reasons.
CONTROLLED OUTLETS
Each of the independently controlled outlets on the Energy Bar are independently switched and easily carry the current load specified on the label. In fact, we intentionally underrate our outlets just to provide that extra level of security.
CURRENT SENSING DEVICE
The Energy Bars continually send their information on their present current drain to the Apex controller. This is incredibly useful information for a number of reasons. First, it enables you to recognize what the overall power consumption is on any Energy Bar so that you can better distribute the load across your multiple Energy Bars. Also by having this feature you can accurately determine the power utilization of your tank to compare different lights, pumps, skimmers, etc. (Not available on Energy Bar 6)
SOFT-START EXTENDS THE LIFE OF PUMPS
Imagine revving the engine in your car and dropping the shifter from P to D. That is exactly what happens when many controllers turn on the power to your pumps. Just like in a car, this kind of instantaneous application of power to your return pump after a feed cycle or to your power heads will certainly lead to early failure. With the Energy Bar, power is slowly ramped on so that every motor is safely brought up to speed without the damaging torque.
POWER-FAILURE DETECTION, COMMUNICATION ERROR PROTECTION AND PRE-PROGRAMMED FAILSAFE STATE
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. This means that if, for instance, your heater was on when the power went off, you could have it programmed to be off until control was reestablished with the Apex base unit. Or, as another example, you could program your main return pump to always be in the on position in case of failure.
One additional advanced feature is that when you use an additional Energy Bar on a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) you can 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!
It is easy to see the importance of this one small feature that differentiates the Neptune Systems Energy Bars from the rest and how once again Neptune Systems is looking out for every possible way for you to avoid catastrophe in your aquarium.
EXTRA AQUABUS CONNECTIONS
Each Energy Bar has additional connectors so that you can easily expand to other modules. This is very helpful for those that want to use one Apex to control multiple aquariums. The Energy Bar becomes an AquaBus “hub” at any location you choose – allowing you to connect more modules in that area. This is called a “star topology” and is unique to the Apex. Many other controllers require you to daisy chain together every module or they require you to buy a separate “hub” to connect everything together.
ENERGY BAR MODELS:
Energy Bar 8
- 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 will have five free to connect to more modules or Energy Bars
Energy Bar 4
- Designed for a USA-style 120V power grid.
- Four controllable outlets. All outlets are controlled by high-current mechanical relays. Three of the outlets are rated at 8A and one outlet is rated at 12A.
- Each Energy Bar can consume a total of 15A and has a built-in 15A circuit breaker.
- Four AquaBus connectors so you will have three free to connect to more modules or Energy Bars
Energy Bar 6 – 240V
- Designed for a European-style 240V power grid.
- Six controllable outlets. All outlets are controlled by high-current mechanical relays rated at 8A.
- Each Energy Bar can consume a total of 10A and has a built-in 10A circuit breaker.
- Four AquaBus connectors so you will have three free to connect to more modules or Energy Bars
- UK, SHK, AU, and Universal Versions available through International Resellers
