PowerAdjust 2 Ultra help

Sonntag, 13. Mai 2012, 10:18

I have the AQ5-XT and three PA2's. for some reason one of my PA2's will not pick up on AQ5. i'm not sure if i'm just not configuring right in Aquasuite 4.72 or what. I renamed PA2-1 but AQ5 only picks up PA2-2 and 3. any help is appreciated. thanks

The solution once known is pretty easy. First off you need to download and install Aquasuite 4.72.00 from the software section. Close down (not uninstall, they can both be installed on the same system quite happily) Aquasuite 2012 (best to disconnect the Aquaero from the USB header as well) and connect one of your PA2's to the motherboard USB header. Then in the 4.72 software, which will show the PA2 you need to set an individual address for each unit, I cannot rememebr the exact tab it is on but the default is 50, so you can keep one at 50 then the others will be set to 51 and 52, get the idea. This same process needs to be followed if you are using more than one multiswitch and possibly pumps but I do not use the AquaComputer pumps so cannot be sure.

Ok, so once you set individual addresses for each PA2 you can then reconnect your Aquaero back to the USB header and obviously disconnect the PA2 from the motherboard. To connect the PA2's to the Aquaero you use what is called an aquabus cable which is essentialy a fan header cable with female conectors at each end. Each PA2 has 2 of these connectors and you basically just daisy chain them with one end of the chain going to the Aquaero Fast Aquabus connector.
Anything else please let us know I am sure someone will help

Both suites can be installed at the same time without any problems.

With regards the numbering I am just going on what I have been told and learned along the way, Apparently if you install just one it its id number is automatically 50 so just seems sensible to number further PA2 51 - 52 etc

Hope this helps

where do u find the ID #? I've never seen these #'s? where can I find a good tutorial on setting up my AQ5 with three PA2's? I'm pretty close to RMAing this PA2 because no matter what I do I can't find it. even with just this one plugged into my AQ5

In the tab startboost and calibration values you have the aquabus address on the left side. The default value is 50. Assign 51 and 52 to the other two poweradjusts.

If necessary - update the devices to the latest firmware. When connected to the aquaero 5 you will see a 5th, 6th and 7th fan channel. Those are the poweradjusts.

@Cliohaxes, appreicate this is one big happy family but, without sounding funny please could you refer solutions to the original poster or even the thread (this is the exact text I gave you back in April). After all we do not want to miss out on aquadrops now do we! :)

Ok now I have all my PA2's recognized in Aquasuite. I was able to idle them down some but would like to know the best way to config these in Aquasuite and AQ5. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks.
