AQ5 setup LED STRIP

Thursday, July 19th 2012, 7:08am

Hello all!

I have purchased myself an AQ5 pro, along with 3 PA2 ultras.

What i wanted to ask is, which port should i connect 2 led strips i have to?

Let me also note, i have 2 swiftech 35x pumps that have pwm control.

If i connect the led to the pwm ports, where should i connect my pumps to have control?
Or
If i connect the pumps to the pwm ports, where should i connect the led strips to?

Any advice tips would be great!

Thanks alot :)

You can use the LED stripes with the two PWM ports. Do not confuse these ports with the PWM speed control signal. These two ports use a pulsed 12V signal and do not work as a PWM controlling signal like you have it on fan channel 4.

For the pumps you could get a 4-pin y-adapter and connect it to the 4th fan channel. This channel offers are PWM controlling signal. The power for the pumps should come directly from the PSU.
