First Look: Neptune System's new Apex Jr controller!


The upcoming Neptune System Apex Jr controller

The Apex Jr will replace the Aquacontroller Jr in Neptune System’s line-up.  The Apex Jr does not have a built-in display and is interfaced via ethernet (the controller includes an embedded webserver for web-based interface).  This means you can control the unit via your computer or smartphone.  An optional display (approximately $100) is also available for those who like to interface their controller the old-fashioned way.

Neptune System’s Apex Jr features:

  • Starting at 9.99 – Iphone application w/ apex Jr module and temperature probe.
  • Built-in Ethernet port.  Has all the same monitoring, control, and configuration features of the apex and Apex Lite
  • Email or text message alarms.
  • Resettable circuit breaker for over current protection.
  • True datalogging on all monitor probes and outlets.
  • 4 Independently controllable 120V outlets (8 Amps each and total current must be less than 15 Amps).
  • 2 Port AquaBus hub for expansion.
  • All AquaBus accessories work with the apex Jr.
  • Plug and Play AquaBus expansion.
  • Expandable up to 5 AquaBus accessories.
  • Simple firmware updates over Ethernet
  • 4 Mounting Holes for easy installation
  • Compact custom aluminum enclosure (7.5″ x 3.75″ x 1.8″)
