It suits aquarists who want to switch, monitor and manage pumps, skimmers, UV units and other equipment from one unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned from scratch for the new Apex, as more than a simple powerstrip, and shaped by years of customer feedback asking for a power supply for individual devices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix controllable 240V AC outlets, each switched by a high-current mechanical relay rated at 8A and for millions of cycles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndependent power monitoring on every outlet, with a dedicated LED for each. The LED shows when the outlet is powered and flashes if there is an overload.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn internal 100W 24VDC power supply feeds three built-in 1LINK ports and two 24VDC accessory ports, giving 11 power connections in total.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBecause the Apex receives continuous power consumption data, it can alert you when a device is not drawing power, such as a return pump showing no consumption.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt can also flag a change from normal consumption, for example a skimmer whose airline is clogged. High and low limits can be customised for each outlet, so you can catch problems as they arise and stop them getting worse.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour AquaBus connectors leave three free for further modules or additional Energy Bars.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtected by a built-in 10A circuit breaker.

Plug your equipment into the 240V AC outlets, 1LINK ports or 24VDC ports. The Apex then switches each outlet and reads its current draw through specialised software, which helps you optimise control and use less power. Set high and low consumption limits per outlet so the system can notify you when a pump, skimmer, UV device or other piece of equipment is not running as it should.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAquarists running an Apex controller who want per-outlet monitoring and switching.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReef and marine setups where early warning on pumps, skimmers and UV units helps protect fish and coral.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSystems on a European-style 240V power grid.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAquariums using 1LINK devices such as WAV and DOS, or 24VDC accessories such as small pumps, solenoids and fans.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with the ApexEL Entry Level Kit and the Apex Lab Grade Kit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRequires a Neptune Systems Apex Controller for operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot compatible with the legacy Apex Classic Controller systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegional note: the EnergyBar 832 is for North America (USA, Canada and parts of Mexico) and other locations with 120VAC 60Hz power. In regions that use 230VAC 50Hz power, Apex systems are bundled with an EnergyBar 6 fitted with six region-specific outlets (UK, EU, AU or Schuko). Those EnergyBar 6 models do not include the per-outlet power monitoring, 1LINK or DC24 ports, or per-outlet indicator LEDs found on the Energy Bar 632.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower grid: European-style 240V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAC outlets: 6 x 240V, each switched by a mechanical relay rated at 8A and for millions of cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal current: 10A, with a built-in 10A circuit breaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal power supply: 100W 24VDC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1LINK 24VDC smart outlets: 3, for devices such as WAV and DOS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitchable 24VDC outlets: 2, for accessories such as small pumps, solenoids and fans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal power connections: 11\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAquaBus connectors: 4, with 3 free for more modules or Energy Bars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonitoring: individual current monitoring on every outlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndicators: one LED per outlet, lit when powered and flashing on overload\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafety: UL certification and CE safety standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Neptune Energy Bar 632\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use the Energy Bar 632 on its own?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. It is not a standalone device and needs a Neptune Systems Apex Controller to operate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it work with the Apex Classic?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. It is not compatible with the legacy Apex Classic Controller systems.

The two switchable 24VDC outlets suit accessories such as small pumps, solenoids and fans. All five run from the internal 100W 24VDC power supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does it help me spot a failing pump or skimmer?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEach outlet is monitored individually and the Apex receives continuous power consumption data. You can set high and low limits per outlet, so a return pump with no consumption, or a skimmer drawing an unusual amount because of a clogged airline, can trigger an alert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the LED on each outlet tell me?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt lights when the outlet is powered and flashes if there is an overload.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the maximum load, and is there overload protection?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEach outlet is switched by a relay rated at 8A, and the whole unit can handle a total of 10A.
