Aquaero - DDC question

Can the DDC pump with the RPM sensing, being sold by A-C, be controlled by the Aquaero?

Not sure on that one. It looks like the pump is controlled as a fan; i.e. with 12V, 0V and Signal wires. So technically you could wire it up to run off one of the fan connectors on the aquaero, it just depends how much power it requires, and whether that exceeds the limit of one of the connections on the aquaero.

I think that is not a good idea because the maximum output of a fan channel should not exceed 5W.

Hmmm... What do you think of hooking it up to the Multi-Switch and controlling it from there?

As far as i know multiswitch has no adjustable output. On and off - that's all

Cheers shoggy! Didn't think it was possible.

Is the DDC pump D.C. powered though? Because you would be able to control then, surely? If not by the Aquaero, then by a fanbus that handles whatever power it requires?
