aquaero 6 PWM 2x 2 pin plugs: where to find ?

Tuesday, February 2nd 2021, 8:49pm

Hello,
i own an aquaero 6 and would like to use the 2 outputs named "PWM1" and "PWM2" in the doc.

Doc:
> 4.4. Connector “PWM 1/2”
Pulse width modulated 12 V outputs, maximum current load 1 A, carrier frequency 15 kHz. Suitable for example for 12 V LEDs, not compatible with
PWM fans or pumps.
Pin assignment: Pin 1: VCC
Pin 2: GND

Is there a firmware update that can change that output so it becomes compatible with PWM pumps and fans instead ?
All my fan/pump outputs are used

Also, where to find the matching plug ? What is its name ?

Ty !

No.

You can use a second aquaero as a slave device or standalone or you can add a poweradjust (only one DC output, no PWM) or a QUADRO (four PWM fan outputs) or an OCTO (eight PWM fan outputs)

Here: Plug for power output connector (aquaero 5 and 6)

With a quadro connected to aquabus i can control all the fans independently using aquasuite ?

Yes.

You need to make a Firmware Update on the Quadro first, which requires USB Connection. Once that is done, you can unplug the USB and control the Quadro with the Aquabus.
RGBpx Functions will be unavailable when using Aquabus connection only.

If i plug that into USB only, will the aquasite software be able to control the matching fan ?
I know the aquaero will not be able to control them. But the rgb are great even if non standard and the adapter is out of price 16€ !!! https://www.amazon.fr/Aqua-Computer-Adapter-rgbpx-komponenten-anschlu/dp/B0842CLQVC
