Instructions
The instructions below will work
with most boats and also some
shore electrofishing applications.
1. Connect APEX to generator
power source by hooking up the
generator’s output connector to
the APEX’s
Power In
connector
2. Connect remote foot switch to
APEX’s
Foot Switch
connector .
You can also connect the APEX’s
foot switch connector to a boat’s
internal foot switch system, if
so equipped. Consult technical
support if further guidance is
needed.
3. Connect one or both Anode
Connectors to anode arrays or
boom-mounted anode arrays via
the APEX’s Anode connectors 1
and/or 2
.
4. Connect the cathode array to the
APEX via the Cathode connector
. You can also, in some configu-
rations, use the boat’s hull as the
cathode.
Consult your boat’s specifications
or Smith-Root technical support for
more information.
