Hopefully simple question

mattgumaer · 08/01/2018, 02:39 PM

I have a new Apex (actually about 1.5 years old but just setting up now). I think it's an Apex 2016 (orange one). In Apex Fusion, it's showing that the software for my 2 WAV pumps and my energy bar are outdated but, I can't seem to figure out how to update the software.......

Can I do this through Apex Fusion and, if so, how? If not, what do I need to do? It seems like there ought to be a simple answer to this but, I'm not having much luck finding one. Thanks.

This is my second Apex. I have a classic on my main tank so I am somewhat familiar with the 'old ways' of programming and whatnot but, I've not done much fiddling with things lately.

First thing first, did you follow these instructions?

Most of my updates had to be done through the IP address connection.Not sure if the 2016 Apex allows you to use fusion or not.

Thanks for the response Jimmy. Thing that threw me off was the lack of an 'aquacontroller' with the new apex. figured it out though. There was a drop down box with an update software option. Several updates later, I'm running the latest and greatest (although I'm not really sure what the updates actually did).
