help with aquaero XT and PA 2 ultras

Mittwoch, 9. November 2011, 07:17

Just got it in, running tests on bench to make sure everything is working... Love this thing, and I just begin to "touch the tip of the ice berg"...

a few questions..

Can I plug fans into the "tacho signal" and "flow sensors" of the PA2? or I will need to use a 1 to 3 splitter on the "power output" ?
Will the unit auto adjust / detect what is connected?

Any difference in how I daisy chain my PA2? I have 6 of these..
ie; on Aquabus 1 and 2..
XT to PA2 bus 1, PA bus 2 to
next PA2 bus 1... repeat
or it does not matter?

I also purchased the RGB illumination module for aquaero 5, what exactly is this? I thought it was just for bling but apparently there is a usage for this..
If I don't plug anything into the XT, it lights up red, but with stuff attached, it lights blue.. I have it plugged into the RGB-LED on the XT.
according to the translated spec on the webshop..

Zitat

Full-color lighting module for connection to the LED output of the fifth aquaero . The illumination module consists of an ultra-bright RGB LED in which all three primary colors can be controlled separately
A plexiglass rotating part for mounting in aquatube needs may be ordered separately (not included). Compatible with: aquaero 5 XT (Art. 53 089) aquaero 5 PRO (Art. 53 090) aquaero 5 LT (Art. xxxxx)

Thanks.. :D

There is only one fan header on the poweradjust 2. All other connectors are for sensors etc. like you already mentioned yourself. If you want to connect several fans you will have to us y-adapters.

It does not matter how you connect them via aquabus. Since this is a real bus system they must be only connected in some way. If from one device to the other or by using y-adapters does not matter.

The RGB illumination LED can be connected to the aquaero. Its function depends on your configuration. You can use it as indicator for temperatures or optical signal for alarms etc.

Thanks Shoggy, You are awesome !!

Can you answer me one more question please?

I need some technical spec of the AQ5 and PA2..


mainly what's the max temp before it switches to safe mode, what is the max watt or amp per AQ5 (channel and total combined) and PA2?

I don't know the exact temperatures. Somewhere around 85°C it set the power to 100% and somewhere around 95°C it should turn off.

Each channel on the aquaero can take a load of 19,8W @ 12V while the overall power combined can not exceed 60W. The poweradjust 2 can take 25W at 12V. Of course it does not count in for the aquaero since it uses its own power supply and cooling.
