Apex Interface Adapter Cable
The Apex Interface Adapter Cable used to connect the adapter to the apex brain, is it the same as a telephone connection cable or is it a special type of cable?

The RD3 50w, 60w, 80w and 100w models use an adapter interface kit. That kit includes a little 0-10v interface box that converts the 0-10v signal from the Apex or similar controller to the signal required by the RD3. It also includes a special cable to connect from the RD3 controller to the interface and another cable to connect from the interface box to the Apex RJ45 connection. The cable between the adapter and the Apex is an RJ11 (I think) to RJ45
This is the link to the complete interface kit for the Apex. https://royalexclusiv.com/Flow-Pumps...15e82ffe6d22ae This is the link for the cable that goes between the Interface adapter and the Apex. Like I said, I believe its RJ11 on one end and RJ45 on the other. We don’t publish a wiring diagram for that so you’d be best buying a cable if you are missing it. https://royalexclusiv.com/Flow-Pumps...15e82ffe6d22ae If you have the RD3 150 or RD3 230, them you just need the cable with the RD3 DIN connection on one end and the Apex RJ45 connection on the other. https://royalexclusiv.com/Flow-Pumps...15e82ffe6d22ae

It's for the DC200 skimmer. I misplaced it during the breakdown of the tank. Ordered one.
Thanks for the reply. |

Trying to get a replacement 10V cord for the Apex interface adapter for a DC200 skimmer. This is the correct Cord:IMG_1483 by john briscoe, on Flickr
This the cord BRS keeps sending:IMG_1484 by john briscoe, on Flickr This is the difference between the two, the connection to the adapter is different:IMG_1480 by john briscoe, on Flickr The smallest connection is the correct needed. Is this cord still produced? I only see the cord for the 150/230W pumps listed on the RE site. |

As I said in my previous reply, if you are looking for the cord that goes between the interface adapter and the Apex, then this is the cord you need and YES, it is still produced. Just select Apex from the option field. https://royalexclusiv.com/Flow-Pumps...15e82ffe6d22ae If you need the cord that goes between the RD3 controller and the interface adapter, then I would need to check stock to see if we have those on hand.

I need the 10v cord that goes from the skimmer control to the apex adapter. If you look closely at the photos you can see numbers on the cords. The top picture shows the #42-10004 which is the one I need. The bottom picture shows #42-10036 which I believe is to connect the 150/230W directly to the apex brain.

The interface adapter cable has an RJ45 on one end a phone like connector on the other end. The GHL version of the interface adapter cable has a phone like connection on one end and a smaller phone like connector on the other.

https://royalexclusiv.com/Flow-Pumps...15e82ffe6d22ae If your cable has an RJ45 network connector on one end and a smaller phone jack connector on the other, then you should have the correct cable. If your cable has a phone jack on one end and a smaller connection on the other, then you likely have the GHL Profiliux version of the cable. Or you might have the RD3 controller/din side cable plugged into the wrong end of the interface adapter box.

Those numbers don’t really mean anything other than the vendor that makes the shielded wire itself and the wire can change from one lot to the next. The cable that goes with the RD3 230 and RD3 150’s has a 4 pin Din connector on one end and the RJ45 (network cable like plug) on the other end where it connects to the Apex.
This is the cable I'm receiving.....the 4 pin Din w/the RJ45 connection. |
