Would I just connect to the Tacho port using an appropriate cable ? If so which cable and where do I connect the other end ?

If I understand correctly, yes.

The TACHO (pump) or RPM (aquaero) port would be connected to the motherboard's CPU fan header using a standard fan cable.
Both the pump's TACHO port and the aquaero's RPM port generate a fictitious RPM that can be set to zero using their respective alarm modules.
The motherboards bios must be set to monitor the CPU fan and shutdown the system if the RPM goes to zero

The TACHO port would be used if the pump is connected via USB to the motherboard.
The RPM port would be used if the aquabus connection is used.
Either may be used if both USB and aquabus connections are used.

Thanks for the detail.

Just confirm my understanding then:

1. What exactly does the Aquaero RPM port produce, assuiming the D5 is connected via the AquaBus [not via the D5 Tacho o/p]. Is it a simple binary 1/0 representing Running/Stopped, or does it give actual rpm detail to the Mobo CPU Fan input ?

2. Also is the feed from the Aquaero > Aquabus mono directional i.e. it simply speeds up or slows down the pump, dependant on external sensor input, it does not poll or receive data from the D5 itself ?

Thanks,

1. It is NOT an actual RPM, I have not seen a number published, but it is probably between 1000 and 2000 RPM.
The RPM output is totally independent of a pump being connected or not, it is directly related to the alarm module which can set the output to zero.
ANY parameter available to the alarm module (reservoir level, temperature, pump running, etc.) can be used to trigger the RPM output to zero.

2. The aquabus is bidirectional, it monitors the pump and can control the pump if aquabus is set as the controlling comm channel.
My system is down atm, and I do not remember what all is available to monitor on the pump, but probably just RPM, and that is is functioning... not sure about temps.

My water cooled system was killed recently, so I am not able to give the exact text, but this is what I remember:

There are multiple tabs under the aquaero tab in aquasuite.
one should be something like configure alarms
and there may be a second called alarms
play with those

Also, if devices are connected by USB, some will have an alarm setup under their tab

And examine the alarm configuration chapter in the manual
