Alarm Settings
By default, the Koolance audio alarm will sound if any sensor reaches 55ºC
(131ºF). When the system alarm sounds, the LED temperature will fl ash in the
display and the radiator fans will increase to 100% power.
To change this setting for an individual sensor, choose the desired channel with
SET
, and press and hold
▲ + ▼ together for 3 seconds. The alarm temperature
will begin fl ashing. You may change this value from 0ºC (32ºF) up to 99ºC (210ºF).
The normal temperature reading will resume if you do not press any buttons for
4 seconds.
To reset all temperature alarms to their default (55ºC / 131ºF) setting, press and
hold the
ºC/F
button until “dEF” fl ashes in the display. NOTE: This will also reset
the fan speed mode to “auto”.
Introduction
CAUTION:
Although alarm settings can be set separately for each
sensor, safety shutdown mode will only respond to sensor #1. It is
highly recommended for this sensor to be metal-taped to the CPU
Cooler cold plate (
not between
the processor and cooler), and set no
higher than 55ºC (131ºF). Please see your CPU Cooler instructions
for information on attaching the temperature sensor.
!
CAUTION:
If activated, the shutdown feature of your Koolance system
will automatically turn off power to the entire computer. Unsaved fi les
and documents may be lost. Always make regular backups of your
fi les to an external device or medium.
!
Safety Shutdown
If the temperature value of sensor #1 reaches 3ºC (5ºF) above the alarm
temperature, the system will shutdown power to the computer. With default
alarm settings, this means the system would shutdown if sensor #1 reached
58ºC (136ºF).
