Dear customer

Dear customerDear customer

Dear customer,

We congratulate you on the purchase of a multiswitch from Aqua

Computer. We are one of the oldest manufacturers in Germany of PC

water-cooling systems. Our products are made from materials of the

highest quality. We hope you enjoy your new cooling system. Should

you have any questions, we would like to ask you to first look at the

"FAQ" area and "forum" on our homepage www.aqua-computer.de. If

you should not find an answer to your question there, please email to

support@aqua-computer.de. Considering the fast technical

development, we reserve the right to be able to perform alterations to

NOTICE:

•When disabled the output voltage lies below 0,5

•When connecting inductive loads (e.g. motors), a self-induction

recuperation diode (Schottky) and a 100 nF capacitor need to be

connected to the consumer to prevent interferences with the

multiswitch™ and other connected devices. In isolated cases further

measures may be required.

•The outputs are not

When connecting capacitive and inductive loads appropriate precaution

measures must be taken.

Connection possibilities for up to eight LEDs. The LEDs are operated via

an into the multiswitch™ integrated series resistance of 100 Ω with 5 .

Ultra-bright LEDs (Imax 20 mA, U 3 ) may be connected without any

series resistance directly to the outputs, for LEDs with a low forward

voltage the additional series resistance is calculated as follows:

Additional series resistance = ((5 – forward voltage) / Imax) – 100 Ω

5. Configuration

5. Configuration5. Configuration

5. Configuration

ia the five configuration-

jumpers (see chapter 4.5.

Jumper) you can

permanently configure

single functions of the

multiswitch™. For this

purpose the included short-

circuit-bridges („jumper“)

are either removed from the

contact pins (position „open“) or set on the contact pins (position

„closed“).

The individual positions have the following functions:

Jumper position 1:

Jumper position 1:Jumper position 1:

Jumper position 1: aquabus-address

aquabus-address aquabus-address

aquabus-address

This jumper configures the aquabus-adress of the multiswitch™ when

connected as a aquabus-device e.g. to the aquaero. When connected

as a USB-device this function is ignored.

Jumper open: Address multiswitch™ 1

Jumper closed: Address multiswitch™ 2

Jumper position 2: Save configuration

Jumper position 2: Save configurationJumper position 2: Save configuration

Jumper position 2: Save configuration

When this jumper is set, the current condition of the outputs are saved

with each keypress (supprted only in devices with buttons) and

automatically loaded after a reset of the system . Additionally a save via

the PC-software aquasuite is possible. If this function is deactivated, so

is the function in the aquasuite software!

Jumper open: Saving deactivated

Jumper closed: Speichern activated

Jumper position 3: Deactivate PWM function

Jumper position 3: Deactivate PWM function Jumper position 3: Deactivate PWM function

Jumper position 3: Deactivate PWM function

This jumper configures the output of PWM signals at the outputs of the

multiswitch™. In the default setting (jumper open) PWM signals are

generated at the outputs which allow for instance LEDs to be controlled

in brightness. You must

may result in the destruction of the connected devices!

If the multiswitch™ is used as an aquabus-device on the aquaero, the

PWM function is always deactivated and the jumper setting is ignored.

Jumper open: PWM activated

Jumper closed: PWM deactivated

Jumper position 4: Button function

Jumper position 4: Button functionJumper position 4: Button function

Jumper position 4: Button function

This jumper configures the functions of the buttons on the front of the

device (supprted only in devices with buttons).

When the jumper is set, the condition (on/off) of the corresponding

power output is switched. Additionally the outputs may be switched via

the PC-software if the multiswitch™ is connected via USB (not possible if

connected as an aquabus-device).

With an open jumper setting the buttons have no direct influence on the

outputs of the multiswitch™ and are only interpreted via the PC-software

when connected as an USB-device.

If the power outputs of the multiswitch™, when connected as an

aquabus-device to the aquaero, should be switched, the jumper must be

open!

Jumper open: Interpret buttons only via the PC-software

Jumper closed: Buttons switch power outputs directly

Jumper position 5: USB/aquabus

Jumper position 5: USB/aquabusJumper position 5: USB/aquabus

Jumper position 5: USB/aquabus

This jumper configures which interface of the multiswitch is active.

Jumper open: USB enabled, aquabus disabled

Jumper closed: aquabus enabled, USB disabled
