Koolance CTR-CD1224-R - Manual (Page 2)

CAUTION: Generally, sensors report liquid temperature at the water block,
which is typically 5-10°C (9-18°F) lower than the actual heat source. This dif-
ference must be considered if adjusting alarm/shutdown temperatures. Setting
alarm/shutdown modes at too high of temperature can eliminate this feature’s
effectiveness. The default Koolance settings are designed to help compensate
for temperature differences of a typical computer CPU/GPU water block. !
When in the “Temperature Settings” menu, the selected temperature sensor will flash. Press
▼ and ▲ to navigate, or press ◙ to select a sensor to configure:
TEMP1 SET
AL: 55C PW: 56C : AL = Alarm, PW = Power (Shutdown)
The alarm value will flash. Press ▼ or ▲ to adjust a value. Press ◙ to change to the
shutdown temperature. Press ◙ again to exit configuration of this sensor. Press ◄ to return
to the previous menu.
NOTE: The shutdown temperature must be at least 1ºC (1-2ºF) higher than the alarm
temperature. If an alarm temperature can not be increased, increase the shutdown
temperature first. The minimum and maximum temperature range allowable is 0-99ºC (32-
210ºF).
FAN SET
This unit has three fan channels which can be independently adjusted. Alternatively, use the
master fan channel (“ALL FANS”) to adjust all fan channels simultaneously.
ALL FANS 50% : All Fans (Master), Speed Setting %
FAN1 SET 84% : Fan Channel #1, Speed Setting %
FAN2 SET 47% : Fan Channel #2, Speed Setting %
FAN3 SET 30% : Fan Channel #3, Speed Setting %
The selected fan channel will flash. Press ▼ and ▲ to navigate, press ◄ to return to the
previous menu, or press ◙ to configure this fan channel:
ALL FANS 50%
The speed value will flash. Press ▼ or ▲ to adjust this value. Press ◙ to confirm the
setting.
Higher fan speeds can improve performance, but will produce more noise. Fan speeds can
be adjusted manually from 0-100%.

CAUTION: F an percentages are based on PWM duty. Fans will not operate if
set too low. Some types of fans may not be compatible with the PWM program
and will only operate reliably at 100%. !
CAUTION: This product allows full user control of hardware safety settings,
such as audio alarm, shutdown, and pump speed. Please be sure to configure
your Display Panel properly, or damage to your computer, data, and/or equip-
ment could result. !
The Koolance display panel allows control and
monitoring of various aspects of a cooling system.
5 buttons are used, with directional arrows to
navigate or change settings, and a center button
to enter/exit.
• On the main screen, hold ◙ for 3 seconds to change display units between
ºC/ºF and LPM/GPM.
• You can exit any menu and return to the main screen by holding
◙ for 2
seconds.
• To reset ALL settings to default, hold ▼ + ▲ for 5 seconds.
Main Menu
To enter the main menu, briefly press ◙ . The selected option will begin flashing. Use ▼ and

press ◄.
TEMP SET
The temperature menu allows configuration of the alarm and safety shutdown options. This
cooling
system can monitor up to 3 (included) temperature sensors. An audio alarm will
sound if any sensor reaches its set alarm point. The offending sensor will also flash in the
display, and the radiator fans and pump will increase to 100% power. If any sensor reaches
its set shutdown point, the system will signal shutdown with a relay through the “ATX” wire.
TEMP1 55C 56C : Sensor #1, Alarm Point, Shutdown Point
TEMP2 51C 54C : Sensor #2, Alarm Point, Shutdown Point
TEMP3 60C 70C : Sensor #3, Alarm Point, Shutdown Point
