Ok how can i get a Gfroster in the US and how much?

[{.bLanK} GoD]

Just recieved my value controller the other day. I am again very pleased with it, (the second G-froster i have brought) I slightly modified the way it's being used. Sscilencer a Golden were very helpful in helping me out with the schematic.

I have heard a few people are having trouble with electromagnetic interference with their controllers. At one stage whilst dicking around last night, i got bad characters on the controller LCD. I turned everything off and re-routed a 230vac wire that strayed a little close to the controllers cables, and everything works fine now.

Low voltage control circuits are easily susceptible to interference. Golden and Sscilencer make a very good product at a very reasonable price. It is designed to be as far away from any mains voltages as possable. Screened cables are possable but would no doubt push the price of the controller up. Also the longer the cables are the more susceptible they get to interference.

Cheers Golden and Sscilencer, Job well done, i will be wanting another 3 value controllers in about a month or so

I had some issues with the gfroster value controllers similar to that of the older XE1.2 I first tested, but have found a way around the 2 small issues.
When the gfroster would start it would run for a split second then shut down, or not start at all. If I hard wired the compressor with a mains cord it would run fine. My solution was to take these 2 wire that go to these terminals extend the wires staying away from ribbon cables and installing a switch at the front of the case. When I flick the switch it powers the compressor till I shut it off again and system runs fine. I still wire the mains power that goes to the PC power supply to the gfroster controller still to control the pc, ie boot temp and also shuts the PC down if reach critical temp still function. I also set the delay on the controller to 0sec, so when I pressure the pc start button the controller starts straight away and you have the CPu head temperature readout as well instead of the 5min count down.





The other issue I ran into was when I first start the cooler, even with the manual switch to start the compressor separately I got bad characters on the display. Yes if you keep the mains voltage away from the LCB ribbon cable also away from the interconnect cable between the two controllers this is greatly reduced this but it still happens sometimes on one of my units, another still happens every start. The switch simply cuts the mains voltage going to the transformer that powers the gfroster control board. If the controller starts and display characters get corrupted I flick this switch for a few seconds and it resets the display when I turn it back on and press the pc start button to start the controller again it normally works and has no bad characters. Runmc and others experiencing these same problems I hope this information is of use.

Golden has repaired my controllers and they should be on their way back to me as we speak. I know Ssilencer and Golden are trying very hard to get a no -flaw controller on the market. Thanks guys for the effort.

Thanks kayl for the work around tips. I hope I don't ever need them

[chilly1]

I am returning 16 controllers for repair.... MOre news when I recieve it...

[Ratax]

Any news about the Cascade G-Grosters?

When will be delivered the first orders?

[runmc]

I need some Golden help with this loose wire. Where do I plug it?

[4Qman]

Just want to say thanks to Golden_Eagle for the help regards fixing the controller. Always there to help and the problem was fixed without much bother.

[Sneil]

Seriously guys when will the cascade controllers be ready, i was told june back in may, i know others that have controllers on order before may all paid up in full as well. this is not how things should work

Have you gotten your cascade controler yet kayl? I'll be ordering one right away, but want to make sure they are readily available first...

[runmc]

I wired the controller and left the extra wire loose. I hit the power button and the controller worked flawlessly. ( I swear) not a glitch. However after three start ups I did encounter some of my previous problems. These problems could be related to user error. I will check to make sure I'm not at fault.

Thank you Ssilencer and Golden for standing behind your products.
But wait - I still have 5 more controllers to test.

Thanks much guys for the efforts.

[edited with above ^^^^ update.]

[Golden_Eagle]

runmc, you did right, that extra wire is for xe 1.5 controllers and that´s a 1.2.
Kayl, Im still thinkin how to solve that isues without using extra switches.

[LittleDevil]

Do you have manual for XE 2.0?

It's armaflex insulation foam.

Got any suggestions on an adapator for the 2.0 Ssilencer?

I think that, at least, you guys could tell something to users (like me) that have paid for cascade G-Froster almost half a year ago...

I don't have my money, don't have the cascade g-froster and don't have any word from you... it's not the way it should work, as someone told.
