Page 6: Get To Know Your Cor Driver
COR-15 Driver Connections COR-20 Driver Connections The COR-15 and COR-20 driver provides power and speed control to the COR pump. When connected to an Apex system, the COR driver appears to the Apex as an AquaBus expansion module, and is managed by the Apex like any other Apex expansion module. -

APEX if needed. PHYSICAL INSTALLATION – COR-15 AND COR-20 DRIVER The COR-15 or COR-20 driver should be securely mounted in a location free from moisture. The COR driver uses an innovative mounting system which provides safe secure mounting yet allows easy removal of the COR from the mounting plate. -
Page 9: Physical Installation - Cor Pump
PHYSICAL INSTALLATION – COR PUMP The COR pump may be installed for use either submerged (in sump) or externally- plumbed. An extensive discussion of aquarium plumbing design, PVC plumbing cementing, etc. is beyond the scope of this user guide; however, some tips and suggestions are provided here. -

Slip Adapter Collar Mounted on COR Intake Externally-Plumbed Installation If you will install your COR external to the sump, use both supplied slip adapter fittings, or optionally, use the 1-1/2” x 1” slip fitting on the pump intake and the 1-1/4” union on the pump output. -
Page 11: Cor-20 Connection To Apex System And Power
COR-20 CONNECTION TO APEX SYSTEM AND POWER The COR-20 driver communicates with the APEX base unit and other system modules through the AquaBus connectors. The COR-20 has two AquaBus connectors which may be utilized to connect the COR-20 to an APEX system and optionally, daisy-chain an additional module or modules downstream of the COR. -
Page 12: Cor-15 Connection To Apex System
COR-15 CONNECTION TO APEX SYSTEM To connect a COR-15 to an APEX system, that APEX system must be equipped with an available 1LINK port on an EnergyBar 832 or a 1LINK module. The EnergyBar 832 and the 1LINK module each have three 1LINK ports; any of those 1LINK ports may be used. - Page 13 If it shows OLD, then click on the COR line, choose Update Firmware from the Action menu, then click the (Update APEX) button If you have an APEX Classic model, you must use the Classic Dashboard to check the COR firmware version, and if necessary, update it. This cannot be done through APEX Fusion.

Page 14: Cor Driver Status Led Panel And Led Bar
Look in the SWRev column; if it says (OK) for your COR, no update is needed. If it shows (OLD), then select the COR using the Module dropdown; after the page refreshes, click Update Firmware, the click Submit Module Change. You can observe the module firmware update progress just above the Module List on that page. - Page 15 The Neptune Systems logo on the face of the COR-15 and COR-20 driver is a multicolor LED panel which indicates the status of the COR. The top bar of 8 small LEDs provides additional information. In most cases, it indicates the approximate speed of the pump.

ADDITIONAL NOTES: o Whenever the LED panel is lit red, a specific error message will also be shown on APEX Fusion and APEX Local dashboards; these are not shown on the Classic Dashboard. The error conditions must be enabled however, for these status messages to appear. -
Page 18: Cor Dashboard Tiles
❖ Each button press changes the pump speed by approximately 6% COR DASHBOARD TILES When you connect your COR-15 or COR-20 to your APEX, one or two tiles will be created on your Dashboard, depending on the APEX model and the user interface in use. - Page 19 Click on the button when done. The COR slider tile shows the current state of the COR output: manual OFF, AUTO, or manual ON. The current speed of the COR is shown as a percentage. The COR tile must be in the AUTO position for the COR to be operated under program control. Click on the button on the OFF/AUTO/ON slider tile to configure the COR.
-
Page 20: About Iq-Level
Click on the name of the COR in the tile to configure the COR. Regardless of the APEX model and user interface in use, the default name of a COR-15 or COR-20 output is COR_#_1, where # is the AquaBus address of the COR driver. You may change the name if desired. -
Page 21: Initial Cor Configuration
INITIAL COR CONFIGURATION Using the COR Task in APEX Fusion is the fastest and easiest way to do the initial configuration of a newly-installed COR. The COR Task will guide you through the IQ- Level adjustment process and then through basic programming of the COR. The COR Task will also (optionally) walk you through the process of modifying your skimmer programming so that the skimmer is turned off whenever the COR is off or running at a lower than normal speed. - Page 22 may not be able to find the perfect speed; that’s OK; get as close as you can. You can fine-tune it later. ❖ When setting the minimum speed, use the left and right buttons on the COR driver to set the COR so that the water in the return line plumbing is at a point of equilibrium –...
- Page 23 Go slowly! You have already done the rough calibration, so during this fine-tuning process, make a small adjustment of 1-2%, then click the OK button to apply the change. Observe the water flow in the aquarium for 60 seconds or more in between each change of the minimum or maximum percentage.
