Instruccions de funcionament

1. Mostra mésview

The LCD screen displays various system parameters. Refer to the diagram below for an explanation of each indicator:

Image: The ASHATA STW5023 LCD display is shown with various labels indicating the function of each displayed element, such as alarm clock symbol, date, time, fan symbol, alarm display, temperature switch, hard disk running display, power display, fan speed level display, temperature rating, computer temperature, fan speed control, and C/F conversion.

2. Funcions del botó

• Botó MODE: Canvia ciclísticament entre diferents modes o configuracions de visualització.
• ALARM C/F Button: Used to set the alarm temperature and switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature units.
• Botó SPEED: Adjusts the fan speed manually or switches between automatic and manual fan control modes.

3. Setting Alarm Temperature

The alarm temperature can be set manually within a range of 40°C to 90°C. If the computer temperature exceeds this set range or a fan becomes stuck, the alarm will activate automatically to alert you to potential overheating issues.

4. Control de velocitat del ventilador

• Mode automàtic: The device intelligently detects computer temperature. When the CPU temperature or a detection point temperature is too high, it automatically increases fan speed. When the computer is idle or temperatures are within the standard range, fan speed is automatically reduced to minimize noise.
• Mode manual: You can manually adjust the fan speed up or down using the SPEED button to suit your preferences.

Manteniment

• Regularly check the temperature sensors to ensure they are securely attached and providing accurate readings.
• Keep the LCD screen clean by gently wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Ensure proper airflow around the unit within the computer case.

Resolució de problemes

• Sense pantalla/Sense alimentació:
  Solució: Check all power connections, especially the 4-pin Molex connector, to ensure it is firmly seated. Verify that your computer's PSU is functioning correctly.
• Fan Not Spinning/Incorrect Speed:
  Solució: Ensure the fan cables are correctly connected to the STW5023. Check if the fan itself is operational by connecting it directly to a known working power source. If in automatic mode, verify that the temperature sensors are properly placed and reading temperatures. Try switching to manual mode to test fan control.
• Alarm Sounds Frequently:
  Solució: Check the set alarm temperature. It might be set too low for your system's normal operating conditions. Verify that all temperature sensors are correctly installed and not dislodged. Ensure your computer's cooling system (case fans, CPU cooler) is adequate and clean.
• Lectures de temperatura inexactes:
  Solució: Ensure the temperature sensor probes are making good contact with the components they are monitoring. Avoid placing sensors near heat sources that do not represent the component's actual temperature.
