Aquaero + Fanamps to control pump?

Mittwoch, 14. Januar 2009, 17:08

I have heard that some people have used fanamps to control pumps because of the aquaeros lack of power.

But someone says said that you are only able to control 1-2 volts up and down with the aquaero. Can someone confirm this?

It would be better if you could control it all the way up and down ofcourse...

Here is a quote from a thread:

Zitat

Yes, VirtualRain did use FanAms with his Aquaero. He used the FanAmps to power his DDC pumps and monitor them. He did not use the FanAmps to control his fans.

The problem with using the Aquaero to power/control fans is that your only able to control (2) fans per channel. For my build that is worthless. I plan on having (7) PA120.3 radiators with (21) SanAce H1011 fans. Therefore I require (7) channels of control. The Aquaero will not be able to handle the amperage.

What you find when you hook a FanSmp into a channel on a Aquaero is that it the Aquaero will not be able to raise and lower the voltage output of the FanAmp. IIRC, Big_Daddy help me out here, the Aquaero will only swing the voltage of the FanAmp 1-2 volts. For what you're trying to accomplish that is useless for controlling fans. Pumps on the other hand, like VirtualRain had setup, would be fine because all he was looking for was a minimum level of control and Auto-Shotdown due to pump failure.

Like I previously stated, I'll soon be attempting to find a solution myself. Stay tuned for updates.

The Aquaero can handle 10W per channel and 30W max on all 4. The amount of fans per channel will depend on the fans amperage.

I am not sure the Aquaero plays nice with a fanamp, alone it can vary the volts from 0V to 12V. You should be able to operate (12) 0.2A fans and have complete control over them with the Aquaero.

aquaero + FanAmp = problems

Don't ask me why but I also read it in other forums from users who tried it.

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? and can someone link to some thread where they discus this problem.

Thanks for the answers!
