Aqua Computer High Flow LT flowsensor brugermanual

1. Introduktion

The Aqua Computer High Flow LT is a precision flow sensor designed for integration into liquid cooling systems, primarily for personal computers. It accurately measures the flow rate of the coolant, providing essential data for monitoring the health and performance of your cooling loop. This manual provides detailed instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your High Flow LT sensor.

2. Sikkerhedsretningslinjer

Please read and understand all safety instructions before installing or operating the device. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or damage to your equipment.

• Afbryd altid strømmen til computeren, før du installerer eller fjerner komponenter.
• Ensure all liquid cooling components are properly sealed and leak-tested before powering on the system.
• Do not expose the sensor to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight.
• Handle the sensor with care to avoid damaging the G1/4 threads or the electronic components.
• Use only compatible coolants in your liquid cooling system.

It reveals the robust plastic casing, screw points for assembly, and the internal design that guides the liquid flow through the sensor mechanism.

Figure 3.3: Connection cable for Aqua Computer High Flow LT flow sensor, with 3-pin connector. This image shows the black connection cable provided with the Aqua Computer High Flow LT flow sensor. It features a standard 3-pin fan-style connector on one end for connecting to a compatible controller or motherboard header, and a smaller white connector on the other end for attaching to the sensor's electronic board.

4. Opsætning og installation

4.1 Fysisk installation

1. Identify the desired location for the flow sensor within your liquid cooling loop. The sensor can be installed in any orientation, but ensure it is easily accessible for maintenance.
2. Using G1/4 fittings (not included), connect the flow sensor into your cooling loop. Ensure the fittings are securely tightened to prevent leaks.
3. Observe the flow direction arrow (if present) on the sensor body to ensure correct installation relative to your pump's flow. While the High Flow LT is generally bidirectional, optimal performance and accuracy are achieved with correct flow orientation.

4.2 Elektrisk tilslutning

1. Connect the small white connector of the provided cable to the corresponding port on the High Flow LT sensor's electronic board.
2. Connect the 3-pin connector of the cable to a compatible fan header on your motherboard or, preferably, to an Aqua Computer controller (e.g., Aquaero, Aquacomputer D5 Next) for full functionality and accurate readings.
3. Sørg for, at forbindelsen er fast og sikker.

4.3 Softwareintegration

For optimal monitoring and control, it is highly recommended to use Aquacomputer's proprietary software, Aquasuite. This software allows you to:

• View real-time flow rate data.
• Log flow rate history.
• Set alarms for low flow conditions.
• Integrate flow data with other sensor readings for comprehensive system monitoring.

Download the latest version of Aquasuite from the official Aquacomputer webwebsted: www.aquacomputer.de/software.html

5. Betjening

Once installed and connected, the High Flow LT sensor will begin transmitting flow rate data. You can monitor this data through the Aquasuite software or any other compatible monitoring application that reads data from your connected fan header.

• Normal drift: A healthy liquid cooling loop should show a consistent flow rate. The exact value will depend on your pump, loop resistance, and other components.
• Overvågning: Regularly check the flow rate to ensure it remains within expected parameters. A sudden drop in flow rate can indicate a blockage, pump failure, or air bubble in the loop.
• Alarmer: Configure alarms in Aquasuite to notify you if the flow rate drops below a critical threshold, helping to prevent potential damage from insufficient cooling.

6. Vedligeholdelse

The Aqua Computer High Flow LT flow sensor is designed for long-term reliability with minimal maintenance. However, periodic checks are recommended:

• Lækagekontrol: Periodically inspect the fittings connected to the sensor for any signs of leaks. Address any leaks immediately.
• Kølevæskekvalitet: Ensure your coolant remains clear and free of particles. Contaminated coolant can reduce sensor accuracy or cause blockages.
• Rensning: If the sensor's internal components become visibly dirty or if readings become erratic, the sensor may need to be flushed with distilled water or a specialized cleaning solution. Refer to Aquacomputer's general liquid cooling maintenance guidelines for detailed cleaning procedures.
