    PROGRAMMING (APEX FUSION INTERFACE) There is no programming of the 1LINK necessary in APEX Fusion for WAV operation. You will program only the WAV outlets. To program a WAV using APEX Fusion, click the cog icon on the WAV tile from the Fusion dashboard, then using the Fusion graphical scheduler interface, create your desired WAV schedule.

    PROGRAMMING (CLASSIC WEB INTERFACE) There is no programming of the 1LINK necessary in the Classic Dashboard for WAV operation. You will program only the WAV outlets. Refer to the Apex Setup and Programming Guide or the Comprehensive Reference Manual for detailed instructions on how to configure and program profiles and outlets. This QuickStart Guide assumes a basic level of understanding of profiles, outlets, and the use of the Classic Dashboard Interface.

    WAV TYPES/MODES OF OPERATION There are 7 primary modes or control types available in the APEX Fusion WAV scheduler and in profiles. Constant– a simple mode which gives an unchanging intensity. Mavericks – A high-energy flow mode with random small and large changes in intensity such as is typical of a reef.
  • Page 10: Wav Monitoring And Alerts

    WAV MONITORING AND ALERTS The WAV has the capability to report various abnormal conditions; there are 4 types of WAV alarms: Position Error Alarm – The WAV can sense if its position has been changed, such as might happen if the pump gets solidly bumped during maintenance, or if someone has removed the outer magnet mount and the pump has fallen to the bottom of the tank.
  • Page 11 Optionally, the WAV Alarms may also be configured and the Home Position of each WAV set using the display menu. Before setting the Home Position of each of your WAVs, the WAV outlet(s) must be turned OFF.  To set the WAV Home Position using the Apex web pages, navigate to Configuration -> Module Setup. Then click the Set Home Position button.
  • Page 12 If none of the 4 WAV Alarms are present, the WAV tile in APEX Fusion will show an OK status; if any enabled WAV Alarm is active, it will be displayed on the Fusion tile. On the WAV tile, a TEMP value equating to the current internal temperature of the WAV is displayed. The normal range of TEMP will be 40-60%.
  • Page 13: Flo

    Since the WAV constantly communicates with APEX Fusion, it knows exactly how much flow it is producing and logs a new measurement simply called FLO. FLO is shown on a tile in APEX Fusion. Data from all of the WAVs in your aquarium are aggregated. The size of your tank is factored in, and calculations are done to determine the number of tank volume turnovers per hour, which is then scaled to a FLO number from 0 to 10;...
  • Page 14 You can use the FLO number and FLO graph to assess the overall level of flow in your tank. Suggested flow ranges for varying types of marine aquariums: FLO Value Best For Fish-only Common LPS coral Common SPS coral High-flow SPS coral 7-10 Extreme flow for SPS coral You can use this number to compare to others who use the WAV in their aquarium or simply compare to your...
