Fan mode curve controller
This mode can be used to automatically adjust fan speed depending on the cur-
rent temperature reading of one of the up to nine available temperature sensors.
The controller curve can be configured by assigning output values to 16 corre-
sponding temperature values.
The output value in percent corresponding to the current temperature is scaled to
the range between minimum and maximum fan power settings before being ap-
plied to the fan output.
The startup temperature will also be factored into the controller output. The output
power defined in the curve controller will be ignored and set to 0 % as long as the
input temperature has not exceeded the defined startup temperature for the first
time. After the startup temperature has been exceeded, the output will strictly be
set according to the defined curve until the output value goes down to 0 % again.
This will trigger the startup process again, meaning the temperature has to exceed
the defined startup temperature again before the curve will be in effect once more.
This behavior is meant to prevent fans assigned to the curve controller to be
switched on and off in rapid succession. If the first point on the curve is set to a
power greater than 0 %, this behavior is deactivated.
In the aquasuite, controller curves can easily be adjusted using drag & drop and
curves can automatically be generated from start and end points. In the graphical
curve display, the currently displayed area can be changed using the following
methods:
● Mouse wheel movements will zoom in and out.
● A double click on an axis will reset zoom level for this axis, a double click
into the diagram will reset both axes.
● Selecting an area on an axis will zoom this axis to this area, selecting an
area in the diagram will zoom both axes to this area.
● Mouse movement while right button is pressed will move the displayed area
of the diagram.

Depending on currently selected fan mode, additional parameters can be config-
ured.
The start boost feature can be used to reliably power up a fan or pump connected
to the output. If activated, the controller will set the fan output to the 100 % power
for a short duration before switching to normal operation whenever the output
power changes from exactly 0 % setting to a higher value.
The fan output range can be limited by setting “Minimum power” and ”Maximum
power” values correspondingly. The check box “Hold minimum power” determines
whether the fan will be switched off during a power setting of 0 % (box not
