    So I am going to be installing a new ATO/Failsafe system in my tank on Wed and want to install light indictors for each float switch.

    I need to know how many volts are running threw the Apex Breakout box.


    Any help wold be great.

    Thank You,

    Chris

    If you have one already, can't you just measure it with a voltmeter?

    Yes but I haven't had time to do that yet.

    I was looking to see if anyone knew the answer already.

    So I called Apex and they said to make a relay box to show status thats self powered, OR make a virtual outlet and add each float switch to each outlet for status.

    I decided to go the virtual outlet route and I'm very pleased.

    Smart programming makes the Apex amazing. Smart DIY. Especially for your second floor dwelling.
