Default Neptune to tunze cable

Hey everyone!

Just a quick question, is the cable that connects a Neptune controller to a tunze pump just a rj45 to din 5 cable?

Quick answer. No.

There are wiring diagrams for making your own, but for the cost, I'd just buy one. Although you like that stuff, so maybe make your own.

Good to know, I'll take a look online and see what diagrams there are. I've got a ton of parts so I can probably make it without spending anything.

You find a good simple blueprint showing whats involved?? Im thinking of doing the same since i have similar components laying around.

I think there is a reference in the unofficial user guide. Or now official user guide.

I read about it when windcoast first posted about it, just 'cause I was curious - I don't own an Apex, or Tunze pumps

Watch what you read on the web as some of the diagrams have the wiring confused .....
