Hey Namron,

thx for replying. Yes, I have the one that came with the cables already.
So yeah I don't have to connect him with the mobo, since that 5pin connector will be already taken by the one form the Aquaero, I mean the flow meter only has to send the signal reading to the Aquaero and that's it I think. Like I said, you connect the usb connection only if you don't have an aquaero I guess. Or I got it wrong?

Pretty much all the Aquaero add on's can be connected both via the Aquabus & the SB at the same time as some people prefer to do, but, Yes as you say you can just connect the add on using just the Aquabus high connection. Although some add ons do require that you set it's Aquabus number & this can only be done by the add on being connected via the USB first.

You're right, it's the high flow port on the aquaero

I found this on overclock.net, someone wrote :

I thought you must have had the USB/Aquabus version of the flow meter by your description of the cables you said you had come with it ... & Yes you need to get thee 4 pin Aquabus cable if you want the full function of most Aquabus add ons, Although I think you will be ok just using the 3 pin Aquabus cable that came with the flow meter if you like ...

Yeah I will be ordering a lot of stuff from percormance pc's soon so 1 or 2 more cables won't be a problem, I will go bankrupt anyway with my new build

Thx Nam

HaHa... Yup sure is an expensive hobby when you get into it & want to do it properly .... It never hurts to have a few cables spare I've always found. Look forward to seeing your build wherever you happen to post it up ...

If you should need more info or a few guides on the Aquaero I have done a couple of guides e.t.c that you may find helpful or useful. It's on my own site I set up a while ago, But it needs updating & then some lol,.. I've not been to well these last few months & will get around to do tidying it up & updating it in the not too distant future when my health gets a wee bit better. Anyway if you fancy a read or want some info on the Aquaero e.t.c then give My Guides a quick look .. Although it mostly caters for the Aquaero 5 a lot of it is still very relevant to the Aquaero 6 e.t.c.... There is also a link to my site Guides on the Aquaero Owners Club Thread on "Overclock.net",, It's on the first post that Darlene put up..

The Aquabus cable only connects to the Aquabus high port on the aquaero.
You will need to connect the meter to your motherboard via the USB cable first. It will fit into the same internal USB port the aquaero is on. Use Aquasuite to set the meter to the correct type of mps device, set the priority to Aquabus, then the aquaero will be able to detect the meter as the right device after you disconnect all power from the system and restart.

LOL never mind about that last question, that in the screenshot IS the actual flow !
And I didnt even need the USB to be connected, now when I remove the USB connection it still receives the flow, through the aquabus cable of course.
I mean I understand you would need to connect the USB at least to set it up correctly in aquasuite, just like you do with the farbwerk bluetooth when you have to connect it to USB for the first time to set external output and after that you can disconnect USB, but what puzzles me is that even when I didnt have USB connected (and never did before I tried it today) on the flow sensor it was showing the flow...

Most likely you have only the one MPS device installed, and the default bus ID of 12 is not in conflict with any other MPS devices.
You would still need to use the USB connection to calibrate the unit, but it will show a flow rate without calibration.

Yes only one MPS device installed, and I even changed the address still working fine.
But do I have to calibrate it? isn't the default value of 169 imp/l pretty correct? I'm using standard 10mm inner diameter tubing

If you have only 1 MPS device it can have any one of the four MPS Bus IDs assigned.
As to the calibration, I was speaking in general. In your case, as was the BUS ID default acceptable, so was the calibration default acceptable.
