Adding a Varios 6 to the Wave Engine

[kbrooks]

I am changing my return pump to a Varios 6, and want to connect to the Wave Engine; what do I need and how do I set up the 0-10v ports?

When connecting to the Various to the WE, do you still have to use the Reef Octopus hardware? I received the 0-10v adapter and didn't see a way to connect the pump straight to the WE. Thank you for assistance.

0-10v you would still need the pump controller.
If you want to hook it directly to a direct drive port you need the cable below.
This will allow you to eliminate the controller and power supply.

For many pumps the HYDROS WaveEngine connects directly to the pump head. This removes the clutter of the power brick and the control head for these pumps.

Ok sorry yea the 6 is only 0-10v.. I read the last post.

There is a port on the bottom of the VarioS controller for 0-10v. You need the controller and power supply for that.

gotcha, was hoping to get rid of all that... but it will be fine.
thank you for your help

One good thing about keeping the various controller is that they can run independently if ever needed. Just unplug the 0-10 volt plug. It's the way I have my return pumps set up on purpose.

It is so it can control 4 different pieces of equipment.
With my test unit I was running two pumps on 0-10v so I used 2 of those cables.
