New: aquaduct mark II series

[MMM] slame · 26th November 2007, 00:14

We would like to introduce the new revision "mark II" in this place a year after the presentation of the aquaduct series. Within the last year we got much feedback and wishes and have tried to integrate these as far as possible. Some things were already changed within the last months, others will go with "mark II" in production now. Hardly visible almost every component of the aquaduct was improved or revised.

The changes of the aquaduct 240 are particularly interesting. This got a USB interface as well as an integrated fan control and the possibility of attaching a flow sensor. The compact design was kept.

New features of the aquaduct 360 XT mark II

Connectivity for two additional temperature sensors on the enclosed PC circuit board. The measurements of these sensors can be used variously in the control unit.
Completely new control with installation assistant
Knob with "one touch control". All attitudes of the control unit can be carried out userfriendly over the knob.
Override function: By pushing and turning the knob simultaneously the aquaduct can be adjusted between a powerful "performance" mode and an almost "silent" mode.
Acoustic alarm signalling system. A built-in loudspeaker distributes an acoustic signal with alarm and generates a key click at changes of the settings.
Connectivity for an additional fan on the enclosed PC circuit board. For example a case fan can be controlled via the aquaduct with that.
Configurable speed signal output. At connection to a fan header of the Mainboard an emergency shutdown of the PC can be carried out via the BIOS. The available relay output can in addition be used for various alarm functions.
Improved decoupling of the integrated Eheim pump
Pump drive optimized: Automatic "overclocking" and rotation detection were integrated. The maximum frequency was increased and the smooth running of the pump was improved through an adapted programming.
A changed channel flow in the bottom of the new aquaduct allows an much easier deaeration of the integrated pump.
Graphic representation of the device with the essential control parameters in the enclosed Windows software "aquasuite".
Air flow optimized rear installation of the fans
Increased flow by a new construction

Further details are the 15-pole connector cable and the counter-sunk plug at the bottom. Of course the circuit board in the PC was also revised completely.

New features of the aquaduct 240 PRO mark II

Integrated control with USB connection
aquasuite software for the control and regulation of the fans
Two integrated temperature sensors measure both water temperature and the air temperature. The micro processor-controlled fan control offers many regulation options.
An optional flow sensor can be attached on the enclosed PC circuit board. The measurements can be displayed and evaluated of course in the Windows software.
Configurable speed signal output. At connection to a fan header of the Mainboard an emergency shutdown of the PC can be carried out via the BIOS.
Rotation detection and improved decoupling of the integrated Eheim pump
Automatic "overclocking" of the pump can be activated in the software.
Simplified filling and deaeration by a new construction
Acoustic alarm signalling system, a built-in loudspeaker distributes an acoustic signal with alarm
Increased flow by a new construction

New features of the aquaduct 240 mark II

External voltage regulation for the fans
An analogous fan control unit for the direct control of the fans is contained in the scope of delivery.
Improved bottom structure
Increased flow by a new construction
Improved pump decoupling

Aquaducts ordered in advance are delivered without surcharge in the version mark II. The aquaduct 360 XT mark II will be available within approx. 3 weeks, the other types are available as of now.

A few pictures and screenshots:

(The aquasuite software is also available in english)

That looks the business mate.

That does look extremely nice.
I forget the name of the previous external unit that never seemed to see the light of day but this appears to be making up lost ground for it.

the infamous hipersys

Pug · 27th November 2007, 15:21

That's the one!

Thanks. I couldn't think of the name for the life of me. I was racking my brains by trying combinations of the usual naming conventions but it wouldn't come to me.

I have to say though, this does do the concept justice.

Are there any plans to do a case-top version like the HiperSys but with this styling and internals?

Starbuck3733T · 27th November 2007, 17:45

These things are just tooo cool looking :)

GodsUnicorn · 27th November 2007, 22:58

They are really nice.
What is that knob made from, it looks like plastic in the pics but I think polished ally would look better.

Shoggy · 28th November 2007, 08:43

It is anodised aluminium.

^^ I thought it would be, it just didn't look like ally in the pic.

Now if one could get that display and related goodies in the 240, I would be happy! Starting to think about cooling a mATX box and this setup would be great, just don't want to go three high.
