Features of the control unit:

  • Custom configuration, operation and monitoring with Windows Software; connection via internal and/or external USB

  • Custom definition of temperature and speed with response curves, ideal adaption to the inner life of a PC

  • Unit has its own microprocessor chip, which works independent from the motherboard: no performance loss and increased security

  • 95% degree of effectiveness with no performance loss or heat dissipation

  • 4 Mainboard outputs for the tachosignal: Tachometer with delivered Windows-Software or with mainboard monitoring tools

  • Unit does not take up valuable space, can be installed internally

  • Language support for English, German and Spanish: language files are editable

  • Open source for communication protocol: for new independent software developments

  • Firmware update via USB

Features of the fans:

  • 4 separate configurable channels, each channel with 15 Watts

  • separate speed recognition and 4 separate tacho signal output to mainboard

  • accurate speed control in manual or automatic mode via editable response curves

  • fans can be control to an absolut speed minimum, down to 2% depending on fan model

  • with analog smoothing and filtering a quiet smooth operation of fans will be ensured

  • with the Attenuator an additional smoothing ensures even more silence at very low speeds (10-30%) and a compability with all fans

  • adaptive PWM allows to adjust frequence for every fan model to avoid noises

  • custom definable hysteresis allow a smooth operation even at steep response curves, no "up and down"

  • manual switching of fans possible

  • start-up speed test ensures operation of fans

  • 0 rpm speed possible: if temperature rises, the controller speeds up the fan according to the response curve

Features of the sensors:

  • supports up to 14 sensors (8 digital and 6 analogue sensors incl. water temp probes)

  • supports up to 2 flowmeters of different manufacturers

  • accurate, digital, linear band-gab sensors (0°-125°C)

  • all temperature sensors can be calibrated separately

  • temperatur sensors are connected with a new easy plug bus system: not every sensor to the central unit (no spaghetti), but from sensor to sensor

  • free assignment of sensors and fans: many sensors to one fan (the hottest counts), or many fans to one sensor possible

analog sensors differs from real temperature

digital sensors go linear to the real temperature

calibrated digital sensors measure the real temperature

 

Safety features:

  • start-up check during system start: all fans are tested shortly with 100% speed

  • emergency switch off (included with sensor hub): if a definable limit is reached, the PC will be shut down with power switch

  • sensor loss control: if a sensor looses its connection, the connected fan will be speeded up to 100%

  • Built-in protection against permanent fan blockage: if a fan stops, the controller speeds up to 100%. If that does not help, an optical and acoustical alarm will be performed

  • If the critical temperatures exceed: fans are switched to 100% and an optical and acoustical alarm will be performed

  • Manufacturer defaults: all fans switched on

  • Fail-Safe: if a hardware error on the controller occurs, all fans are switched on

  • optical and  acoustic alarm signals: integrated LEDs, connector for external LED and integrated loud buzzer

  • speed meter functionality with outputs to mainboard

 

Modding features:

  • Connect some CCFL to your T-Balancer and get additional effects:

  • manual switch and dim

  • temperature-sensetive dimming

  • free configurable switching limits

  • with an additional software: light effects (fast sequences, stroboscope,  waves and more)

  • with an effect editor (editable of parameters in a text file)
