Zalman ZM-MFC3 [7/8] Operational guidelines

Operational Guidelines

Items to Check Before Reporting for Malfunction

1. Be sure that the CVS is properly connected to the ZM-MFC3 and PSU.

2. Be sure that all the cables are connected properly.

3. Check the fans’ specifications.

(1) 2-Pin fans that do not support the RPM output function cannot be controlled. 3-Pin fans that support the

RPM output function and output 2 clock pulses per cycle must be used.

(2) A 3-Pin fan connected to the PWM 4-Pin connector will not enable RPM control.

4. If a faulty fan is used, noise will interfere with the RPM clock waves and disrupt accurate RPM control.

5. Fans with a specified minimum RPM may repeatedly stop and restart, but this is not a defect of the ZM-MFC3.

Please set the RPM above the specified minimum RPM of the fan.

1. Pressing the Jog Wheel for 3 seconds will enter Setting Mode.

2. While the Channel is blinking, turning the Jog Wheel counter-clockwise will decrease the RPM and and

turning it clockwise will increase the RPM.

3. After the desired RPM is reached, pressing the Jog Wheel will save the RPM setting and the next

Channel will be displayed. (Ch1 → Ch2 → Ch3 → Ch4 → Standby)

4. Five seconds without any input will cause the display to Exit Setting Mode.

1. When connecting the Y Cable with only ONE FAN, the

White Connector must be used.

2. When connecting the Y Cable with multiple fans, to ensure they

operate at the same speed, use fans with identical specifications.

Warning

※ RPM settings that exceed fan specs will not affect the fan beyond its specs. A fan with a maximum RPM

of 3000RPM will operate at a maximum of 3000RPM even if the setting is at 5000RPM.

Warning

※ If fans are connected using only the Blue Connector, the RPM cannot be controlled.
