6105.50 on 1073.05 return or a 6105 flow

five.five-six · 01/04/2018, 07:24 PM

I finally put my backup system together 6105.50 on my 1073.05 with a 12V 18 AH battery. I just need it to keep my things alive for probably a max of 8-9 hrs so I can get my generator connected worst case. I figure I have 3 hrs with no flow before stuff starts dying hard.

Which is better to connect to? 1073.05 return or a 6105 flow?

It seems that if the apex is dead, anything connected to it's 0-10V ports are dead too

Yes, that is correct, any of our older controllers get power from the pump so they will continue to run, Apex and most 3rd party controllers and our 7000 will need to be backed up as well to run or the pump manually disconnected from the controller.

The 6105 will be the most effective back up.

So either I disconnect from apex or backup apex.
