Thank you for your reply Boris, I will do as suggested and split PWM cable to each pump and then power from molex connection directlyHi SoMBrA,
I would power the pump via molex and use PWM for regulation. This gives you the added security, because if the PWM connection fails, the pump should just default to 100% power and also you don't have to worry about the minimum starting voltage etc.
Kind regards,
Boris.
Sounds good.PA's are just like an additional fan channel on the Aquaero itself, so basically the same like the first three channels on the Aquaero.
They do support higher loads and the Ultra version supports temperature regulation by using the temperature input on the PA. I can't really say that they provide any advantage over using the PWM control.
Depends on your preferences in the end, I have my pump connected to PA2 (power controlled) and it works as advertised, no problems.
Kind regards,
Boris.
It does matter for pump using PWM since the pump will slowdown just via PULSE and not adding the extra load / heat on the Aquaero 5.does it matter weather you use Power controlled vs RPM controlled for fans and pumps?
i don't know what the difference is, but when i change it there is about a 90 RPM difference.
No problem Boris, your help is really appreciated!Hi SoMBrA,
Sorry for the late reply, I am traveling...
You can read about my experiences with the ATX break adapter and wiring in the following post.
The standby line is only really necessary if the Aquaero is not connected to your computer over USB, or USB is not providing the power for some reason while the computer is in standby.
Kind regards,
Boris.

I have a PA2 and have my D5 Pump connected to it using the 3 Pin Connection next to the Molex Power Connection. I have my PA2 Connected to my AQ5 (LT) via the High Speed Aquabus, but nowhere can I find a way to control the Pump. Can you help me ? I did connect the PA2 to the USB all by itself and ran Aquasuite 4.72 to set the PA2 address to 50. Then I removed the usb connection from the PA2 and connected via Aquabus . But see no pump or RPM or way to adjust the power. Sounds like you have done this.PA's are just like an additional fan channel on the Aquaero itself, so basically the same like the first three channels on the Aquaero.

If you mean the standard D5 pumpI have a PA2 and have my D5 Pump connected to it using the 3 Pin Connection next to the Molex Power Connection.
