Configuration
assistant
An assistant guides you step by
step through the customization process:
Speed signal ca be monitored for each fan channel.
Manual Mode and Monitoring
You can take over control and immediately active manual controls and influence the fan speeds
directly.
Calibration of sensors
The sensors must be calibrated according to the distance between the sensors and the origin of heat. This is easily accomplished with software system monitors that come with the mainboard (like Asus Probe, Intel Active Control, and more).
Definition of limits
Here you can define the temperature limits. Above these limits all fans speeds will be operating at 100%. Under these limits the speed will range according to the measured temperatures. A delay (hysteresis) can be defined with "leave“ values.
Assignment between sensors and fans
Sensors can be assigned to the 4 fan channels in any possible way, giving you a free configuration of sensors to channels. You can even configure them so as to have several sensors connected to a single channel, or have a single sensor being used by several channels.
also assignable using a comprehensive matrix:
Speed-Temperature response
curves editable
The user can chose from a
variety of predefined profiles or can freely design their own
curve with 5 definition points which connect to a curve.
You can design a different curve for every channel. The input of the curve is the measured temperature (the highest if more than one sensor is related to the actual channel). The output of the curve is the performance of the fans (0-100%)
Control to target temperature
You can control each fan channel to meet a certain target temperature.
Control with MBM mainboard internal sensors
You can use the internal mainboard sensors to control the speed. All you need is Motherboard Monitor (MBM). Just assign the MBM sensor to your fan channels:
The tool MBM has to be installed and has to run in parallel. Only values, which MBM delivers can be analysed by the T-Balancer software.
Water
cooling system support
You can connect up to 2 flowmeters from different manufacturers. You can also adjust the impulse rate to your model. In addition you have a hardware emergency switch off and can connect up to 6 analog water temp probes.
Controlling CCFLs
You can also control CCFLs instead of fans. You can choose this option for each channel. Load an effect or create your own with an effect editor.
Changing Profiles with timing
You can plan
different profiles for different times. The T-Balancer will
change automatically the profiles.
You can assign to each of the 5 quickbuttons profiles or navigation menues.
Here you can disable all navigation menues, which you do not need. This adapts the software interface to your needs.
You can
configure, if your system should accelerate to 100% fan
speed while closing the TBAN software. This blows all
remaining warm air out of the PC.
FanAmp support
If you
want to connect an FanAmp to one of your fan channels, then
you have to invert the signal. Signal invertation changes
100% to 0% and 0% to 100%. Please do this only for the
channels, which are connect to the FanAmp, otherwise your
TBAN will react the wong way.
Connect the FanAmp to a channel brings more power and true analog voltage signals to the fans or water pumps.
Configuration of the miniNG
The miniNG works completely autonom and can also be operated without the T-Balancer. But if you own a T-Balancer you can make all configurations with Software and you can create new profiles and save them to the miniNG.
Integration with JaLCD
You can show the
actual values like temperature, speed, alarm over a LCD with
the software JaLCD.
JaLCD is Freeware and supports the following LCDs:
- HD44780-compatible LCD www.matrixorbital.com and
- Crystalfontz serial displays www.crystalfontz.com
jaLCDs can show information like: T-Balancer temperatures and speed, CPU speed and -usage, memory, HDD Infos, date/ time, upload-/ download speed, MBM values, Winamp infos, eMail infos, Newstickers, TV program and much more.
Many
Thanks to Andrew Powell, who provided an
interface to LCDC:
http://www.plasticrandom.net/plugins.php?action=viewplugin&pid=42
Allows for
retrieval of:
- Alarm State
- Alarm Description
- All Digital and Analogue Temps - Names, Values
- 2 Flow meters - Names, Rates, Units
- 4 Fans - Names, Temps and Percentage
Over an interface to Samurize you can choose of many desktop motives to monitor T-Balancer values.
Integration with iMON VFD
iMON VFD is
the most advanced IR receiver and VFD display device in the
market. It not only delivers IR signal to PC but also shows
various useful information through VFD. It is designed to
fit into the 5.25” disk drive bay of PC. It shows ‘Graphical
EQ’, ‘System Info’, ‘Media Info’, ‘Email Check’, ‘News’,
‘World City Time & Weather’ and more. All the information
could be displayed automatically according to the scenario.
Of course, user can choose the specific information with
remote controller too. And one more feature of this iMON VFD
is use can boot a PC with preset schedule. With this
scheduled turn on feature, you can listening music or
recording TV channel by Multi-Median.
With the following interface, provided by Robin, you can
also monitor T-Balancer values:

Monitoring over net
With NView you can monitor each T-Balancer in a network from any PC.
Analysing history
With an Excel tool you can read the history data out of the database and analyse it.
