Aquastream XT fan port power

Wednesday, July 15th 2009, 9:39am

Hi there,

Does anybody know the current output of the fan port of the Aquastream XT? So that I can estimate how many fans can be connected to there.

Thanks! :thumbsup:

The maximum output is 5W (12V * 0,4A)

One or two fans are possible, as long as you know the real consumption.

With the latest firmware you can reach around 5 - 6W. It can be also used with three fans but that will depend on the used fans. If you want to run three, look after fans with a low current consumption.

I have 3x 1.8w fans I want to connect to my XT Ultra... Would that be ok then?

I was going to wire them in parallel and use the rpm signal from only one of the fans?

Thanks, it's my first system :D

Pretty sure it will not work if you don't want to run them at 100%.

So what's the best method if you want to control all 3 fans through aquasuite? Buy an aquaero?

You will love the capability!

Another possibility would be to slap a heat sink on the offending mosfet, but then you would have to mod the cover or leave it off.
