Aquaero 5 LT

Good Morning,

I've been reading the manual for the Aquaero 5, prior to purchasing a Aquaero 5 LT. I have two Delta fans I want it to control. They're 12V, 4A (48w) each. If I'm reading the manual correctly, I don't think the Aquaero 5 LT can handle them. Is that correct or am I misreading? (Manual looks like it says 1A max?)

Thanks,
denali

For Aquaero 5

Quoted

4.3. Connector “Fan 1/2/3/4” Voltage regulated fan outputs with speed signal processing.
Maximum power output 19.8 W (1.65 A at 12 V) for each channel.
Maximum power is dynamically limited through temperature monitoring.

4.4. Connector “PWM 1/2” Pulse width modulated 12 V outputs, maximum current load 1 A, carrier frequency 15 kHz.
The Aquaero 6 could handle 2.5 A at 12 V around 30 Watts max.!
The Aquaeros are not meant for high power industrial fans. 96 Watts is something for an industrial solution.
If you are willing to use two noisy Delta fans in the first place, why even bother to regulate them anyway? Full speed would be even more suffice.
I don't get it.
