Others/Miscelleneous by stefan @ 2012-08-20
The FC10 is a powerful 4-channel fan controller from Lamptron, featuring a cool Nixie tube display and can be controlled via remote after it has finished the initial self-test. The antenna module is attached as a daughterboard onto the PCB of the controller and the included cables are fully braided for better durability and looks.
At first I would like to thank Lamptron for offering me a sample of their FC10 Fan Controller for reviewing.

I want to control 12 fans on 2 radiators. I already own the FC-10 but the instructions are atrocious and Lamptron won't answer my e-mails. Here are the specs for my NoiseBlocker NB-eLoop B12-4 fans: Speed: 2400 RPM ±10% Noise: 34.29 Max. Airflow: 88.5 CFM 150.3 m^3/h Static Pressure: 2.741 mmH2O Voltage Range: 3.3 - 12.0 V DC Starting Voltage: 3.3 V DC Input Current: 0.32A Input Power: 3.84W My power supply is a Corsair AX 1200i. ATM, my only recourse is to use a pair of Sunbeam Multi Fan Power Ports, connecting 6 fans each to an ATX connector on my power supply. Unfortunately, there's no type of monitoring with these devices and the fans would always run at their maximum speed. Thanks for any help. |
