NOTICE
If the primary voltage is 440/480 volts, separate, externally mounted
transformers are required (P/N 9230-1022).
Inputs (See Mechanical Installations for Wiring
Diagram section 4)
The Apex2 Controller operates with the following inputs (I/O Enclosure):
• Inductive Probe (mandatory for operation in probe mode)
• Rinse Thermistor (mandatory for all Apex2 Installations)
• Product Lid Switches
• Detergent Lid Switch that prevents detergent valve from opening while
the lid is open
• Solid Rinse Additive Lid Switch input that prevents rinse additive pump
from running while the lid is open.
Note: This is an optional feature used with certain external dispensers.
A jumper wire has been installed in the factory to electrically connect
this input.
• Sanitizer Lid Switch that prevents sanitizer pump from running while
the lid is open.
Note: This is an optional feature used with certain external dispensers.
A jumper wire has been installed in the factory to electrically connect
this input.
• Out-of-Product Signals
• Solid Rinse Additive Out-of-Product Signal
• Liquid Rinse Additive Out-of-Product Signal
Outputs to External Dispensers
Apex2 operates with the following outputs (I/O Enclosure):
• Solid Rinse Additive Dispenser
• Two wire output to provide 24VDC power to dispenser
Plumbing Requirements
Water supply tubing from the building water supply to the solenoid valve in the
Apex 2 I/O will normally be 1/4” O.D. copper tubing.
Note: Refer to the Installation and Operation Manual of the appropriate
Detergent and Rinse Dispensers used for this application to aid in the
installation of the Apex2 Controller.

4.0 INSTALLATION
Apex2 Controller Installation
Disconnect electrical power supply and follow lockout/tagout procedures
before installing or performing service on the system.
Electrical and grounding connections must comply with the applicable portions
of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition) and/or other
electrical codes.
Mounting Controller
1. Choose an installation location that:
• Allows visual display of the Apex2 Controller (see figure 4.1 below)
• Permits shortest possible tube, wire, and conduit lengths.
• Provides accessibility for adjustments and servicing.
• Provides as much protection from moisture/steam and heat as possible.
2. Secure Controller
• Mount to the top or side of the dish machine using the wall mount and
L-bracket
• To flush mount to the wall or dish machine use only the wall mount
bracket
Note: Avoid mounting the controller in areas near the dish pre-scrap area, and
the rinse section of the dish machine due to excessive water, heat and food soil.
Connect RS-485 Communication Cable to Apex2 Controller
1. Remove the back cover from controller by removing the two retaining
screws.
2. Insert one end of the RS-485 communication cable to the open plug on
the controller board. Note: The other end of this cable will be connected
in the I/O enclosure
3. Install the back cover using the two retaining screws.
Mount and adjust the controller
1. Mount the controller to the wall mount bracket. It is necessary to first
depress the release tab before sliding the controller on to the wall
bracket.
2. Adjust the viewing angle of the controller by depressing the release tab
and sliding the controller on to the wall bracket. Make sure the release tab
engages with the back of the controller at one of the three positions.

Mount Apex2 I/O Enclosure
Attach the Apex2 I/O mounting bracket to the wall using the supplied screws
and plastic wall anchors. The installation should be secure, neat, and level. See
Figure 4-4
Inductive Probe Installation
For optimal equipment performance and reliability choose a location that is:
• A minimum of 2” (5 cm) from the tank bottom, side wall, overflow piping,
etc.
• As far as possible (2” [5 cm] minimum) from heater elements or coils
• Protected from physical hazards.
• Always underwater, with entire Probe constantly submerged, particularly
on shallow tank machines.
Before drilling the hole in the wash tank, identify and avoid any obstructions
both inside and outside the wash tank.
Installations Steps
1. Drill/Cut a 7/8” (22 mm) hole into the wash tank wall.
2. Install the rubber sealing washer onto the probe (over the threads and
against the flange on the probe).
3. From the inside of the tank, route the wire through the hole until the
probe is against the wall of the wash tank. Secure the Inductive Probe
to the wash tank using the provided retaining nut with the O-Ring against
the outside surface of the tank wall. The nut end of the Inductive Probe
must be on the outside of the machine wall, refer to Figure 4-5.

Rinse Thermistor/Injection Installation
The rinse aid injection point must be installed downstream of the vacuum
breaker, and a minimum of 6” (15.2 cm) vertically below the vacuum breaker.
Note: Some international installations require this distance to be 30 cm (11.8”).
The enclosure must be mounted so that the top of the rinse dispenser pump is
below the injection point.
NOTICE
Install fittings using Teflon tape or pipe sealant to prevent leaks
1. Identify point at which rinse additive will be injected into final rinse line.
a. If ports are available on the machine rinse line for separate
installations of the rinse injection line and the thermistor, use the
supplied 1/8” FNPT x 1/8” MNPT brass bushing ONLY.
-OR-
b. If the thermistor and rinse line must be installed in the same port, use
the supplied 1/8” brass street tee and follow the diagram below
Note: The Rinse Additive tube must be installed 1.5” (3.0 cm) past the end of
the brass tee fitting for accurate rinse temperature measurement.
2. Assemble the Visual Flow Indicator (required for NSF listing) on the
outlet side of the rinse dispensing pump by inserting the 1/8” tube fully
into one of the two 1” sections of 1/4” OD x 1/8” ID PVC tubing provided
[See Figure 4.7]
3. Install the check valve between the visual flow indicator and the rinse aid
injection point.
