Comparison Chart for Apex Models, Including EL?

Kengar · 09/17/2018, 06:38 PM

I saw a chart somewhere comparing the various models when the EL was released, but can't find it now. Can you provide a link or attachment showing it?

Thanks

Thanks.

Given what I'll be running, the only thing that is optional on the EL that I would want (included in full system) is salinity monitoring. The other features (e.g., 0-10V) I just don't need. So I could go EL and buy PM-2 and be about $200 ahead (used to get the bundle with display.....)

Don’t forget the cost of the probe. Total cost is $225 (module and probe) vs $300 for the full apex. So $75.

good point. although I see that the PM-2 also functions as a 6-terminal breakout box, so I could avoid having to buy a separate on for my various float switches.

or do I still need breakout box to work with the IO input on the PM-2? In other words, does the PM-2 only offer another place to plug in the breakout box, in addition to the place to plug it in on the Apex base unit?

The Apex EL base has a six-input connector. So does the PM2. Both require a breakout box to use.

Thanks, Terry. So I'm seeing..... So hard to stay focus on patent work when there's toys to shop for!
