Lunar Simulation Module (LSM) - Setup Guide

WARNING: Water damage will void your warranty! Mount all modules in locations safe
from moisture exposure.
INITIAL CONNECTIONS
Plug one end of the included AquaBus cable into one of the AquaBus ports on the LSM and
the other end into an available AquaBus port on your existing Apex system. It makes no
difference which AquaBus port is used and you do not need to power down the system
when connecting AquaBus accessories as the system is plug-and-play.
WARNING: NEVER plug standard USB devices into any AquaBus connector or AquaBus
accessories into computer USB ports. Damage to the AquaBus accessory and/or USB
device may result.
STARTUP
As soon as the LSM is connected to an active AquaBus, the module will power up and begin
to initialize. When first connected to an AquaController Base Module (through the
AquaBus), the LSM will automatically be assigned an AquaBus address and be added to the
AquaController configuration. The LED Status indicator on the LSM will flash yellow while it
is being initialized. Once initialized, the LED Status indicator will be solid green. The LED
Status indicator will flash when the LSM is powered on and communication with the
AquaController Base Module is lost.
VERIFY THE INSTALLATION
Verify the LSM was initialized and added to the AquaController Apex configuration:
Apex Display: Setup – Module Setup – Modify Name – from this screen, you can
see all AquaBus modules installed on the system.
Web Interface: Configuration – Module Setup – Verify the LSM is listed in the Apex
Module List. Also 1 outlet is automatically created which can be configured
Configuration – Outlet Setup. The initial name of the LSM outlet is Lunar_X_1
UPDATE LSM FIRMWARE
A new version of firmware for the LSM may be included with Apex firmware updates. You
should check the firmware version status when the LSM is first installed and after updating
the AquaController Base Module firmware. See the section titled Updating Firmware in the
AquaController Apex Setup and Programming Guide for instructions to update
AquaController Apex Base Module and WXM firmware.
