Koolance TMS-200 testing results / review

[dsumanik]

Three very essential functions (along with the full start power and then to set power startup sequence) a lot of fan/pump controller reviews forget to thoroughly test and report - kudos! When I finally get enough extra cash for a controller I really am liking the bigNG T-Balancer and this TMS-200, but, of course, there's been potential problems fleshed out for each here on XS. I can optimistically take a few of those off the TMS-200!

What are you thoughts on the bigNG T-Balancer (with or w/out expansion) itself and compared to the TMS-200?

I put my thoughts on the comparison of the other controllers in the conclusion.

For me the BigNG was off the list because I am running dual loops/pumps with 12 fans just on the rads, I dont think the Big NG has enough power for all that, i am pretty suer I exceed the channel limits just on one rad so I would have to daisy chain multiple controllers. The digital probes are nice, but i really don't know if that much accuracy is truly going to be utilized on a product like this. Plus I didnt like the BigNG flowmeter at all. And the software isn't all that great from what I hear and hasn't been updated in ages. Koolance app is 32/64bit windows 7 ready now.




For the most part, i think the Koolance has them all beat with a few exceptions.

If they update the software and add a few features/open it up it will pretty much be the best one for sure.
