NEW: aquaero 5 series

[D749]

Sounds good. I tried flashing without the jumper and getting sort of a reboot occurring on the AQ5 when I click on the settings button under the new AS2012. The AQ5 reboots itself then the flash to 1019 button shows up, but clicking that seems to hang the program. I'll try the jumper thing next. I do have a logitech mouse, but using the polling software, I'm at 125Hz. Maybe I'll try another mouse too..

I had the same issue flashing. The key is the jumper but I'm not sure why since my unit is brand new. I was about to throw my XT in the garbage until I stumbled on that piece of information.

1) I'm sure you could use one of the four fan channels, but you may need both RPM and ground wires.

Sorry, what do you mean "you may need both RPM and ground wires?" The 450S has a 2-pin molex (yellow & black) for power and a 1-pin molex (blue) for RPM (http://www.koolance.com/water-coolin...mp-450s_p0.jpg). The 2-pin molex will be going to another device to power the pump. Can the 1-pin blue wire simply be attached to a XT fan header?

2) You would need to cut the RPM wire from the series so only one of the string of fans is feeding an RPM signal. Some cables may already be setup that way but I always make my own... I just know you only want one RPM signal and some sensors need both the RPM and ground to work. I'd leave the power wire out.

So there is no way for the XT to understasnd multiple RPM wires coming from different fans when connected to a single XT fan header via a Y-splitter correct?

3) Not sure on the extension cables, but I would think you could fabricate your own and simply recalibrate the sensor for the added resistance of the wire extension. I'd probably use an Iced and stirred glass of water to calibrate all the sensors together. The calibration features seem pretty easy to use. I noticed today that the flow sensor didn't jive with my king flow meter and it's pretty easy to simply adjust the pulses per liter to correct it up. The temperature sensors have a temperature offset option in the firmware and I presume the new 2012 aquasuite may even have more advanced options. The older AS software provided an option to develop complex curves for sensors, but the offset method would probably serve most users needs.

Thanks.
