Safety notice

Please thoroughly read this safety notice to prevent possible errors which may lead to problems or damage

to your hardware.

Not suitable for children under 12 years (contains swallowable small components). Some components on the

Alphacool Heatmaster 2 may become very hot. Please be aware of the danger of burning and be extremely

cautious when touching the device.

Read this operating manual thoroughly before installation.

Before beginning working on your system please back up your data.

The Alphacool Heatmaster 2 must be installed solidly in a free space in the enclosure.

Please make sure that the USB connector is connected with the correct polarity. If the USB cable is

connected with wrong polarity, both the Mainboard as well as the Alphacool Heatmaster 2 can be damaged.

Never plug the power connector in or out whilst the PC is switched on. This can destroy the hardware of your

PC (PSU, USB connector, mainboard etc.) or even the Alphacool Heatmaster 2.

Never connect or disconnect fans, flow rate sensors, temperature sensors, relays, LEDs or other sensors or

devices whilst the system is running. This may damage the Alphacool Heatmaster 2 or even the PC

hardware.

Never interrupt a Firmware update. This may irreparably damage the controller software of the Alphacool

Heatmaster 2, resulting in the controller needing re-programming with a special programming device.

Never interrupt the software start-up of the PC software.

Do not shut down your PC suddenly by e.g. cutting the power or switching off the PSU whilst the system is

running.

Never touch the Alphacool Heatmaster 2 or one of the connected devices whilst switched on.

Intended use

The Alphacool International Gmbh cooling components are approved by Alphacool International Gmbh for

cooling of computer components. If they are used for any other purpose the warranty is voided.

System requirements

Minimum system requirements:

CPU: 500Mhz or better, recommended 1000Mhz

RAM 512 MB

50 - 100 MB HDD space

USB 1.1

Windows XP Service Pack 3, Windows Vista, Windows 7.

Heatmaster 2

Windows 98 SE, Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 with limitations.

Depending on the operation being processed the software requires some of the CPU computing power. If

you have transferred the settings to the Alphacool Heatmaster 2 and the software has been shut down, no

more CPU time is needed. The Alphacool Heatmaster 2 then runs autonomously and fulfills its purpose of

controlling and monitoring your cooling system. The Alphacool Heatmaster 2 is even network- and internet

capable with the optionally available LAN adaptor. This allows the Alphacool Heatmaster to be configured

from another PC, meaning that no software needs to be installed on the monitored system, hence not

requiring any CPU time on the system.

More information on possible expansions can be found at the manufacturer homepage www.Alphacool.com

Socket assignment

Overview

Power supply

The Alphacool Heatmaster 2 is connected to the power supply via a 4-Pin Molex plug, just like a HDD or

optical drive. Both voltage (12V and 5V) are needed, the 5V for the micro controller and 12V for the power

connectors, supplying fans and pumps. Should you intend to connect the Alphacool Heatmaster 2 to another

power source than a PC PSU (e.g. in an external enclosure or via a laboratory power supply), please note

that not only a 12V rail is needed, the 5V power rail is also required. If you intend to run the unit in stand-by

(e.g. to allow booting of the system to be triggered by the Alphacool Heatmaster 2), a 5V standby power

supply must be connected via the connection array (see overview).

Fan channels / pumps / slow sensors

Up to 6 fans can be connected to and individually controlled by the Alphacool Heatmaster 2. Additionally it is

possible to connect multiple fans to one channel via a Y-cable or similar adaptor. In such a configuration the

Heatmaster 2

fan speed signal from only one fan can be monitored, but the other fans run at the same voltage. Such a

configuration is especially useful if many fans need to be connected to a cooling array. For example, three

radiator fans can be connected to one channel. Bundling of radiator fans also comes in very handy if large

radiators such as the Mora or Phobya Nova (9 fans each). The maximum permissible number of connected

fans depends on the power consumption of the fans. Up to 18W of power may be drawn from an individual

channel passiv cooled..We propose to use an aktiv fan. The power consumption of a standard 120mm fan is

approximately 2.5 to 3.6W. Before connecting multiple fans please check the maximum power draw of the

fans. Should the 10W per channel not suffice, an active cooling system of the driver components can

increase the maximum power output up to 38W. Regarding this please consult the appendix.

The last three channels (3-Pin) are unregulated for the pumps / flow sensors, as these are controlled

separately by the software. Theoretically it is also possible to connect a fan, but the channels are unable to

detect it as such, resulting in constant 12V operation of the connected fan. The 3 channels for pumps / flow

sensors aren’t necessarily compatible with the according components. This means that in some cases it is

e.g. necessary to connect a 3-Pin plug to the pump / flow sensor. Please check in advance if the pump is

suitable for the limitations of the Alphacool Heatmaster 2 (18W per channel). On the 3 channels the 12V DC

voltage from the PSU is simply passed through, hence additional voltage adjustments are not possible. If you

wish to control the speed of your pump, this is possible with an analogue adaptor which is connected parallel

to the 6 fan channels. This allows a pump to be connected and controlled in speed e.g. according to a

measured temperature. Such analogue adaptors will be available soon. The following products can be

connected to the pump / flow sensor channels:

Pumps

EK-DCP 2,2 /4,0

Laing DDC-1T / Laing DDC-1T Plus ( requires active cooling) (as well as the RT models)

Laing DDC-1T Plus (RT-Models) (Active Air cooling needed)

Laing D4/ Laing D5 (Active cooling needed)

Alphacool TPP644 / VPP655 ((Active cooling needed)

Phobya DC12-220/260/400

Please note that the Alphacool pump adaptor may be needed for some models!

Flow rate sensors

Bach DFS 1/25io

Some Digmesa DF sensors

GMR DF Sensor including electronics
