2.3.2.2 Set inital states
If the Powerbar-PAB doesn’t receive commands anymore over a minute (e.g. since the bus has been interrupted, ProfiLux is switched off or is defective, …), the sockets of the Powerbar-PAB can be switched due to safety reasons into a predefined state (on or off). The initial state can be programmed separately for each socket. For example it can make sense to keep the filter switched on. On the other side it is better to switch off the heating in case of an error so that the aquarium is not overheated.

I've never had my Profilux fail but it's good to know that the power bars will behave this way. Unfortunately, the original poster doesn't doesn't use Profilux, he uses the Apex system by the sounds of it. Are they compatible ? I didn't think that they were.
