Neptune AquaController 3
 
Neptune Control Modules

Direct Connect 8 (DC8)

The Direct Connect 8 modules features 8 solid-state controlled outlets each capable of switching 120V at 6 Amps. The DC8 enables a very reliable hardwired connection between the AquaController and all controlled devices - X10 interference problems caused by noisey electronic ballasts (i.e. Blueline) are eliminated. NOTE: This module is suitable for use on ICECAP™ ballasts.

8  120V Outlets (Max 6 Amps, total current must be less than 15 Amps).

Compact custom aluminum enclosure (8.8" x 3.35" x 1.6").

High reliability direct wired connection to the AquaController (does not use X10).
Can be used with electronic ballasts which cause X10 interference.
Completely Silent Operation - uses solid state relays.
"Soft-Start" for reduced pump wear.
Up to 5 DC8s can be daisy chained together for up to 40 switched outlets.
All 8 outlets independently controllable.
Control Interface (IM513) can be last device in chain (Simultaneous X10 and hardwired control)
Fuse Protected
4 Mounting Holes for easy installation
Recommended for use with ICECAP™ ballasts

Direct Connect 4 Heavy Duty (DC4HD)

The Direct Connect 4 modules features 4 relay controlled outlets each capable of switching 120V at 12 Amps. The DC4 enables a very reliable hardwired connection between the AquaController and all controlled devices - X10 interference problems caused by noisey electronic ballasts (i.e. Blueline) are eliminated. NOTE: This module is suitable for use on ICECAP™ ballasts; it utilizes large relays which can withstand the high inrush currents on these ballasts.

4  120V Outlets (Max 12 Amps, total current must be less than 15 Amps).

High reliability direct wired connection to the AquaController (does not use X10).

Can be used with electronic ballasts which cause X10 interference.
Up to 10 DC4s can be daisy chained together for up to 40 switched outlets.
All 4 outlets independently controllable.
Fuse Protected
Control Interface (IM513) can be last device in chain (Simultaneous X10 and hardwired control)
4 Mounting Holes for easy installation. (5.8" x 4.6" x 2.4")
Recommended for use with ICECAP™ ballasts

The Direct Connect 4 modules features 4 relay controlled outlets each capable of switching 120V at 8 Amps. The DC4 enables a very reliable hardwired connection between the AquaController and all controlled devices - X10 interference problems caused by noisey electronic ballasts (i.e. Blueline) are eliminated. NOTE: Due to the high inrush current (greater than 40 Amps) on ICECAP ballasts, we do not recommend that you use this module to control these ballasts. Use the DC4HD instead.

4  120V Outlets (Max 8 Amps, total current must be less than 10 Amps).

Socket Expansion 120V

The Socket Expansion box is a small power strip with controllable 2 outlets used to reduce the power load on a direct connect (DC) box. Since power is supplied from a different circuit, the Direct Connect box's power budget is not affected.


Dual outlets so two devices can be controlled by the same channel.

High reliability direct wired control connection to Direct Connect outlet.

It can switch high power (up to 15 Amps) 120V loads.
The internal relay has negligible power consumption so it does not affect the power budget of the Direct Connect box
2 Mounting Holes for easy installation.
