Stephan, I have a similar setup and have a question on the wiring for two AQ D5's. Using a Y cable for the Aquabus still gives me full controll over both pumps? I have ordered a AQ RTC (real time clock) in order to have two aquabus connections, so I don't need the RTC if I use Y cables? Would the RTC be a better option?You can connect all aquabus high speed devices with Y-cables to the aquabus. First you need to select the adress of the device due a USB connection after that iyou can access it through the aquabus.
Your connection will work this way.
I have to disagree with this comment about damage occurring if both the Aquabus and USB connections are used.some parts needs to be connected via usb the first time to set the address, and then if you connect via aqua bus you have to disconnect the usb !!!!! VERY IMPORTANT as you can damage them

I no understand if the 2 pumps Aquacomputer D5 is possible connect both usb and aquabus to the aquaero and motherboard together or no?
I have to disagree with this comment about damage occurring if both the Aquabus and USB connections are used.
The only issue that I'm aware of regarding Aquabus connections is with the Aquastream XT Ultra Pump. On that device the Aquabus header can also be used as a Flow Sensor input IF PROGRAMMED AS SUCH, and when used as a Flow Sensor input should not be connected to the Aquabus.
Unless the D5 Aquabus has a unique requirement to NOT use both Aquabus and USB connections (I haven't read that manual because I do not have this Pump) you can leave the MPS400 Flos Sensors connected via BOTH Aquabus and USB, and in fact you have more control when both connections are used.
I currently have 2 Aquastream XT Ultra Pumps and 2 MPS400 Flow Sensors connected to my Aquaero 6 XT via both USB and Aquabus. This permits them to be listed as separate units in the left tab area of Aquasuite.
One final note. If you desire to remove the USB connection from the MPS400 Flow Sensors, they MUST be connected to the Aquabus using a 4 wire cable which supplies the +5V required for operation. The 4 wire Aquabus Cable is not supplied with the MPS400 and must be purchased separately.

Hello Namron thank for help me!Any MPS device that has a USB connection as well as the Aquabus connection, can both be connected at same time...... But you can only control them using one of these methods (Which you choose when connected Via the USB when first connected & give the pumps their Aquabus address numbers) either you control them Via USB (in which case they will have their own Menu Tab much as the Aquaero Menu Tab), or you can control them Via the Aquabus (which then goes through the Aquaero Menu Tab & will be listed there in the Aquaero Menu's) You cannot control using both USB & Aquabus at same time... You need to choose one or the other as a control method but all MPS sensors with USB & Aquabus connections can be left connected to both methods, As I do (makes it nice and simple for me to then change my controlling preferences dependent on what I'm testing at the time)...

Hi Steve
Yep to both questions .... The integrated sensor will show up in the Aquasuite software when connect via the USB......
N.
Hi Namron I'm looking at buying the flow 200 Flow sensors do you know if this sensors has a integrated Temperature sensor or do I have to buy a external Temperature sensor like the inline G1/4 made by Aquacomputer? If it's integrated and I hook it up USB will
Back to the flow 200 do you think this flow meter is a good match for the Aquacomputers D5 usb pump or should I use the Flow 400?

The two black wires of a USB are always the ground & are/have always been that the two black wires go to the side of the motherboard header that has the missing pin (usually the lower line of pins has the 4 pins & the top row have 5 pins) your perfectly OK to connect any Aquaero USB to either or both of these M/B USB headers....
As shown below (& I believe all usb headers are set this way) the Red wire of the USB is always opposite the stepped 4th & 5th pin end (which are always black)...
So from left to right (as on my Motherboard) it's Red, White, Green, & Black you don't necessarily need both the black ground wires of a USB so putting a 5 pin usb connector onto a 4 pin usb header should not give any problems (well it never has to me anyway). You can therefore use both of these motherboard headers for the Aquaero USB connection
Personally I'd go with a 400 Flow meter, Depending on the complexity of the loop will determine how much flow you get but the USB D5 will push well over 200l/ph even on a fairly restrictive loop...

You simply set Alarms e.t.c from the "Alarm" Settings Menu's from either the Pump menu (if connected & controlled Via the USB) or through the Alarm Settings Menu from the Aquaero Menu (if connected & controlled Via the Aquabus)..... You need to look through the menu's e.t.c on the Aquasuite read what does what, most of it is self explanatory & once you have a play around you should pick it up fairly easily...... It's the best way to learn & understand how things work....I looked up the flow rates for the flow 200 and the flow 400 they are as follows
mps flow 200: Range approximately 40 - 200 liters per hour / 11 - 53 US liquid gallons per hour (Art. 53131)
mps flow 400: Range approximately 80 - 400 liters per hour / 21 - 106 US liquid gallons per hour (Art. 53132)
So if your saying that the D5's are going to produce around 200 L/Hour then if the flow goes above 200 L/Hour then the flow 200 wouldn't read the flow?
I'm using 2 D5 usb's on separate loops and I want to shut down my PC if either one of the pumps fail. How would I set the Aquasuite software to turn on a alarm and shut the system down if either of my loops fail. I hate to say Aqua's manuals are not the best for the beginner. If it wasn't for people like you on the forum I would be totally lost which doesn't take much for me to get lost!!

Steve....... You answered your own question with the above post you did showing what each flow meter can read minimum & maximum???.... I said the D5 pump is well capable of pushing over 200l/ph (dependent on what setting you have it at).... So a MPS 200 will read upto 200l/ph (obviously anything above this will not be reported correctly or could give false readings), therefore... If your going to have a flow that is above that then surely this means you would need a MPS 400 as that can read upto 400L/ph....You simply set Alarms e.t.c from the "Alarm" Settings Menu's from either the Pump menu (if connected & controlled Via the USB) or through the Alarm Settings Menu from the Aquaero Menu (if connected & controlled Via the Aquabus).....

Did you see this question I asked before the shut down alarm question I asked (So if your saying that the D5's are going to produce around 200 L/Hour then if the flow goes above 200 L/Hour then the flow 200 wouldn't read the flow?) Thanks for all your help Namron I don't know what I would do without your help!! I probably would be beating my head against my computer case by now!!!! Thanks Steve
