Assembly and installation of hardware
The Heatmaster carrier plate and the surface for the Velcro-fastener part must be in a condition of
dust free and free of grease. Otherwise the adhesive side won't bind properly and could dismantle
from the plate later. Use spirit or similar to clean the surface.
Before you select a place and mount Heatmaster, please check the length of cables of Heatmaster
and all other devices such as fans, flow meters, pump and sensors. Use extension cables
optionally.
Please consider in advance, where to set up local, global and if applicable external control-loops
( see Appendix 1).
This eases the controlling and functional attribution of the Heatmaster software and results an
expedient planning of sensors and fans. It could be reasonable under circumstances, to align the
placement of fans basically (see Appendix 1).
1. Stick the Velcro strip enclosed on the metallic surface of the Heatmaster carrier plate.
2. Stick the Velcro-counterpart on the desired place. This can be somewhere in the casing or in an
external place (external cooling system), as the Heatmaster doesn’t need a connection to the PC
per USB-cable later on, after the installation of control-loops. All setups run automatic on
Heatmaster, simply a sufficient powerful 12V DC current source/generator is needed.
(see Declaration of conformity).
3. Connect all devices and cables with the Heatmaster, after it is mounted. (The PC should be
switched off at this situation – power off and cable disconnected). Please follow the instructions
of the topic “Connection Definitions”. Consider the following order:
A Connect the Heatmaster-hardware (power and USB cable – PC is switched off)
B
Install USB and serial drivers
C Install the Heatmaster software and follow the instructions
The Heatmaster reacts as a power distributor at the first start of the hardware. All fans and pumps
connected will be controlled with 100% PWM , without the need of the installation of software or
drivers. Control-loops are deactivated.
