Plug the Apex Display Module AquaBus cable into an available AquaBus port on
the EnergyBar 8 or Apex Base Module (the display can be connected to any

need to power down the system to connect a new module. The entire length of
the AquaBus should be kept to a maximum of 200 feet.

or AquaBus accessories into computer USB ports. Damage to the AquaBus

not into the variable speed ports or damage to the AquaController Base
Module may occur.
