The 1Link Module from Neptune Systems will hook up to any
current Apex controller and allow control of the WAV pumps. A
single 1Link module can control up to 3 separate WAV pumps off
a single outlet or two WAV pumps and 1 DOS pump, saving outlets
for other pieces of equipment. If you use the 1Link and WAV
pumps with Apex Fusion you can get access to many different
flow modes to control one of the smartest pumps on the market
today.
Compatible with Neptune DOS Fluid Metering System and Neptune
WAV pumps.
The WAV is the first of a line of aquarium products from
Neptune Systems that will use a completely new interface. While
many in the aquarium world continue to embrace wireless
technologies for interconnectivity, Neptune has decided to use
a wire.
Wireless connectivity from your smartphone or tablet to your
Apex (or other controllers) is completely logical – and we
embrace that. However, wireless used for the interconnecting of
devices within the confines of common aquariums (that are
mostly less than 6′ long) is not only unnecessary, but it
reduces reliability. Neptune's philosophy is that when
distances are measured in a few feet, wireless is a solution
looking for a problem. And ironically, wireless really does not
save wires. You still need to use a wire to get power to the
devices anyway. Also let’s not forget configuration – wireless
devices require syncing, endless button presses and arcane
steps to get them to connect up – hopefully with you and not
your neighbor. Finally, for all this “benefit”, you as the
consumer get the added cost of this wireless technology that
must be baked into the price of every device you buy.
So after much study of the problem, Neptune's answer is the
1LINK. It is called 1LINK because there is one power supply,
one module (for up to three 1LINK devices), and a
one-click-connection of a wire that carries not only the power
for the device but two-way communication from it to your
Apex.
Setup is simply click and go.
