i am thinking of adding a 2nd pump to my loop.

the aquaero manual mentions it can control 2 aquastreams.
but that appears to only be the old ones with the 10 pin connection.

how can i connect 2 ASXTs to 1 aquaero via aquabus?

My AC supplier doesn't seem to stock that.
is it as simple as it looks?
can i just make one out of some fan Y adaptors?

i have male and female 3 pin plugs available.

no resistors or anything i cant see?

thanks!

a part like this (and the flow sensor cable and flow sensor for eg) should come with the hardware.
For the price of the Aquaero, it would seem reasonable to throw in a part like this that is only needed with that hardware.

Why is the flow sensor cable sold separate to the flow sensor?

the 3 pin fan connectors i have do have all 3 wires on both plugs,
so they should work fine?

yes i agree the mobo should get confused, but all the fan adaptors i have bought have all 3 pins attatched at both ends,
i am useing them to run pairs of fans off my aquaero and seems to all be fine.


I am currently flow testing my rig, and am a little confused, can you please confirm the impulses/liter for me?
the retailers site that i purchased it from
http://www.thekoolroom.com/index.php?rou…&product_id=456


says 169pulses/liter (but ur website says 158 http://aquacomputer.de/newsreader/items/…atursensor.html )
when i set to 169 i am getting 145l/h or 2.4l/m

do these numbers sound right?

also i am getting a message on the aquaero saying "pump 1 not avail. firmware too old not connected"
i believe it is related to the control via aquabus or control via usb setting. i have tried changeing it and saving the settings but no luck.
which is the right option?


one last thing, the yellow cover on the back of my ASXT just spilt and came off..
i noticed the bulge in it due to the cable routing, but thought it was fine.
but the plastic seems to have torn on its own without any force on it.
now the rear cover wont stay on.
what do u suggest i do?

thanks shoggy

then why does the manufacturer page for it say 158?

i was about to buy a 2nd ASXT but having to glue the cover back on a brand new $150 pump is not right.
i will probably RMA it.

i did not get the pump error originally, the usb is connected correctly.
the firmware is
aquasuite 4.69.00
aquaero FW 422 OS 203
ASXT FW 1017

according to AS all up to date.

UPDATE:

just tried to reflash the asxt firmware, got error msg saying cant flash, turn off power,
and also a PUFF OF SMOKE FROM MY PUMP!!!

tried again to be sure and again saw small white puff of smoke coming from pump.
and still failed to flash,
im starting to think i have a dud here

i have just ordered a 2nd one, i will send this one back tomorrow

Its not the magic blue smoke as the pump still runs fine.
everytime i try to flash it it fails and AS i click the START button i get a very small puff of white smoke.

i stripped the loop and checked the impeller chamber first and all looks good.
then i checked the pcb and the main power cable on the left that comes from the pump to the pcb.
is NOT SOLDERED ON?!?!?!?!
the end of the cable is tinned, but it is not soldered to its socket.
the right one is.

very odd.

after a faulty temp sensor and now this, i am fast losing faith in my AC gear.
i will upload a pic shortly

So Shoggy,
what do you suggest I do with it?

my retailer suggested I organize RMA with you direct,
I am not happy about that as I bought it here (Oz) and not from Germany.

I would prefer to send it back to my retailer, have him replace it with the other he has in stock (on order to me) and then for him to chase it up with you.
