The 9V thing represents a package transformer. Basically its the same type of device you might use to charge your cell phone with.

Overklokk, you need a 220 to 9v 0.5A adapter for the value and a 220 to 15v 1A transformer for the Xe
can the X lcd be used on the Xe? that would be nice:)
The diagram shows the connection with an ac-ac adapter.Quote:

Yes, but it would be useless since the firmware only shows 16x2 chars.Quote:

For the people getting the G-Frosters Xe:
Quick installation guide in PDF
LCD's are IN!!!!! PM me with Updated shipping addresses for fast shipment!!!!
Or more suited for this application, a chassis mount transformer that can be purchased from a local electronics store. Something like that: http://jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/...23&pa=105523PS .Quote:

However, a 9v chassis mount transformer is not that common so I think it'd be better it it were designed to use a 12.6v transformer, which can be purchased from Radio Shack. Or better yet, use the 5vsb line for power.
Chilly1, have you thought about a MOSFET inverter for compressor speed control in a high end version?
9v only for the Values, the X and Xe uses 15v, you can use a 7.5+7.5v transformer or a 18v transformer too.
We are now adding a new function: Controll an electronic valve from windows Froster software... it will take a litlle time, but I think it will be great.
Just ordered my 220v to 7.5+7.5vac 2.5amp tranny (lol). I need a bit of extra grunt for the large condensor fans. btw i love ur new avatar Ssilencer hehe
Thats great Mr Point :D
The froster he is getting is a special version, that can handle up to 2.5 amp for the fans, so, just 1A for Xe and 1.5A for the X are needed.
Is Chilly1 still the contact for purchasing in Canada and US?
My project is here:
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ad.php?t=87671
It has two discrete units. Air chill and liquid chill. Do you have the relay necessary for controlling two units from 1 GF?
Do any of the GF options operate as a t-stat? I am looking to leave my system on all the time and would like both units to cycle between set points. I already have the t-stats, just want to know if there would be any redundancy, and how the two would interact/ conflict.
Fan control would also be beneficial for me as I have two 120mm fans on the front of the case which I would like to be able to adjust according to temp of the compressor(s).
Also, to get cable access to the mobo, I have to run them into the chillbox through air tight ports...this requires a long run in some instances! How long are the cable/ wires?
I assume they are USB compadible now?
I don't have an electronics background.... :) this all look far too complicated...
It would have been great if the power supply could have been included in the unit.
Why 15v ac?

(another thing might be the fact it is geared for both 110v and 220v crowd and complicates circuit finding right coils with right size.
PS) SSilencer on left and Golden eagle on right on the picture right? :)
dont forget shipping, power supplies weight twice as much as a froster does, so it would increase the shippings costs a lot. it makes no sense shipping them from here, when you can buy them there.
im pretty sure they are still serial.. well mine (still under construction) is anywayQuote:

If you want special features for your controller, contact me by pm or msn, and yes, chilly1 manage the sales on the states.
Also, God is right (no pun intended, lol)
Coyote already answer for me, a transformer will double the shipping costs.
We will be going the usb way when we get time to finish research, also migrating to K type probes as soon as possible.
Pretty tough to buy something when there is no response. PM'd Chilly1 over a week ago for prices and nothing...
He's been really ill of late so you probably wont get a reply until he has recovered.Quote:

Hey Ssilencer, if the Xe's need 15v to run after regulation would it be better to go with 18V??
ie what voltage are the regulators regulating the 15AC to DC wise?? 12v DC??
this one here is multi taped for 12v 15v and 18v i think ill be using 18v:toast:
It´s better if you use 15v. If you use 18v, the regulator will be disipating more power without any benefit.
Controller works with 12v dc, after regulation.
