User manual THERMALTAKE HARDCANO 12 SE

[. . . ] Cluster of high speed fans inside a chassis can create undesired noises. Hardcano 12 SE is designed to efficiently address this issue by focusing on components that are generating the most noise and in the same time simply the entire process. [. . . ] To display Fan Speed, Temperature and Alarm setting corresponding to FAN4/T4. 2 ) Components Check 3 4 5 HARDCANO 12 SE Accessory Pack x 2 O C/ OF Alarm 6 7 8 9 Fan1/T1 Fan2/T2 Fan3/T3 Fan4/T4 4 sets of temperature probe4 sets of fan speed control wire x 1 3 pin to 4 pin adaptor x 1 1 1 2 Introduction 4 ) Display Introduction Introduction 5 ) Connectors 1 2 3 Inclusion: 3pin connector X4 thermal probe X4 4pin connector X1 4 6 Connectors: 4pin connector X1 For power supply 5 Connectors: Fan controller X4 Icon Example T1 Example For CPU fan No. 1 2 Description Displays the current mode which the module is operating under: Auto (Automatic) / Manual T2 Example For VGA fan For case fan For power supply fan Mode State T3 Example Temperature Displays current temperature Shows the current temperature monitoring location. (Regardless of its current monitoring location, when one of the threshold temperature is reached, module will sound and its backlight will flash to alarm user. ) T4 Connectors: thermal probe X4 Example 3 T1~T4 FAN1 Example For CPU cooler FAN2 4 For VGA cooler Shows the current fan speed monitoring location. (Regardless of its currently monitoring location, Fan1~Fan4 when one of the fan stops operating, LCD will display "0000rpm" and buzzer will sound to alarm user. ) Example FAN3 Example For case environment 5 XXXXRPM Displays fan RPM. (Round Per Minute. ) FAN4 For power supply 6 Alarm temp. Displays the current temperature alarm threshold. Connect H12 Control Connector 3 pin to 4 pin adaptor X1 +12V +5V 4pin Power Connector Fan Control Connector 3 4 Installation 1 ) How to install in case. Multiple pre-drilled mounting holes to accommodate various 5. 25" drive depth. Application for all kinds case installation: Part II Installation Example: 2 ) Fan control function 2. 1 Power Connector Note:Strongly recommended connecting the power connector to the PSU directly.

This setup will allow Hardcano 12 to adjust fan speed and receive RPM signal as well. (please refer Q&A Q5 ) ( 2 ) With 4 pin connector and RPM signal wire 2. 3 How to install the connectors Black Ground Red +12V Yellow Signal RPM 2. 3. 1 Fan connector with RPM signal wire ( 1 ) With 3 pin connector Example: Fan4 Fan3 Fan2 Fan1 Fan1 Fan2 Fan3 Fan4 Some fan unit may be using +12V +5V 4pin connector. In order for Hardcano 12 module to control, you'll need to utilize this included adaptor. With 3 pin connector PCB Fan Connector Fan Monitor Connector Controller connection figure CPU Fan Application: Each set of Fan Control Cable is labeled as followed: Fan1/Fan2/Fan3/Fan4 Each can be connected to 3pin fan connector. 7 1 Adaptor(3 pin to 4 pin) 4 pin connector 8 1 Installation Installation 2. 3. 2 Fan connector without RPM signal wire 2. 4 How to read fan speed Select the Fan you wish to adjust. PCB Fan Connector Fan connector without RPM signal wire Fan1/T1 CPU Fan Adaptor(3 pin to 4 pin) 4 pin connector Fan2/T2 A few variations of fan does not provide RPM signal. In such cases, Hardcano 12 module can only control the Fan's speed but not monitor its RPM. Fan3/T3 Fan4/T4 Case Fan VGA card cooler Fan connectors 9 10 Installation Installation 3 ) Temperature detect function Press "+"button to increase fan speed. (Maximum speed varies from each different fan unit. ) 3. 1 Thermal sensor T1 T2 T3 T4 Thermal Sensor X 4 3. 2 How to attach the thermal sensor Press on "-" to decrease fan speed. (Minimum speed is 50% of the fan's maximum speed. ) Application: Hardcano 12 includes 4 sets of Thermal Probe. Attach each Thermal Probe to different heat sources with the included thermal tape. Example: T4 T3 T2 T1 Thermal Sensor Connection Figure 11 12 Installation Installation 4 ) Alarm function 4. 1 How to set the Alarm temperature Choose the parameter you wish to configure the alarm setting for. T1 CPU cooler detect CPU temp T2 VGA card cooler detect VGA temp. T3 T4 Example T1 : Power supply CPU fan detect PSU temp detect case environment temp. CAUTION: Avoid excessive pressure to the sensor 3. 3 How to read temperature Example T1 : Press the "Alarm" button repeatedly until your desired temperature is shown on the LCD. [. . . ] Majority of the 3 wire fan have RPM signal capability, while 2 wire fans do not. 17 18 Q&A Q4: Hardcano 12 unit is unable to adjust fan speed?Ans: A portion of fan unit have built in fan speed control.
