Safety Precautions

The following precautions and directions are measures against possible accidents and injuries. Please read them thoroughly before using this product.

Warning

Neglecting the following may cause serious injury or death.

Caution

Opening the cover of the product while the power cord is plugged into the Current/Voltage Sensor (CVS) may cause electrocution of the user or critical damage to the product. Handling the power cord with wet hands may cause electrocution. During heavy lightning storms, unplug the main power cord from the CVS to prevent possible system damage and fire hazards. Plugging in the CVS Cable of the CVS into the motherboards USB port may damage the motherboard and CVS. If the current to be measured exceeds 10A (RMS), use a cable or conductor that allows current greater than the current to be measured to flow through it, and always connect protective grounding prior to use of this instrument.
Neglecting the following may cause minor injuries, degrade product conditions, or cause malfunction.
Operating the product in an extremely cold or hot environment can degrade product performance and life span. Allowing liquids to enter the product can result in malfunction. Operating in a humid or non-ventilated environment can reduce product life span. Do not place heavy objects on top of the CVS. Must use a well wrung-out cloth to clean the CVS. Using the product for purposes not specified by ZALMAN may cause damage to other devices connected to this product. Must be installed on an easily reachable location.

Front Panel

Graphic Power Load Meter: Displays power between 30 to 800W in 4 stages. Numeric Power Load Display: Numerically displays power between 30 and 800W. (The Numeric Power Load Display will read LLL when an overflow occurs. LLL indicates power loads beyond the unit s measurable range.) Fan Status Display: The Fans operation status is indicated with animated propeller images. Fan Channels RPM Display: During RPM Setting, RPM is displayed in units of 60RPM, and actual operational RPM is displayed in units of 10RPM. Temperature Display: Displays temperature readings between -9 and +99 Jog Wheel: Used for adjusting Fan RPM. RPM can be set from 1000 to 5940RPM in units of 60RPM. Mode Button: Used for selecting a Fan Channel and saving the Fan RPM setting.

Back Panel

Standard Fans (Fan 1~3): 3-Pin fans that include the RPM output function can be connected for use. PWM Fan (Fan 4): 4-Pin fan that includes the PWM function can be connected for use. Temperature Sensing: Four temperature sensors can be connected. CVS Terminal: Receives the measured values of the CVS. Power Connector: Connects with the PSUs 4-Pin connector.

Installation

1. Turn the computers power OFF and unplug the Main Power Cord before installing ZM-MFC2. 2. Install the ZM-MFC2 into a 5.25 ODD bay as shown in the diagram.
3. Fix it in place with the use of Bolts.
4. Connect the Power Cable and Fan Cables to ZM-MFC2.
5. Connect the Temperature Sensors plug to ZM-MFC2, and attach the sensors to desired locations.
6. Install the Bracket in the Enclosure, and connect the CVS Extension Cable to ZM-MFC2.
7. Connect the CVSs CVS Cable to the Bracket.
8. Connect the CVSs AC Power Cord to the PSU.
9. Connect the Main Power Cord to the CVS.

Connections

The Main AC Power Cord is not provided with ZM-MFC2.

C3 Cable

The C3 Cable enables the motherboard to sense the RPM of the CPU fan or a case fan allowing the system to boot without errors.

<How To Use >

Caution : An error can occur if the fan RPM is set too low. In this case, deactivate the monitoring feature for the CPU fan in the BIOS. For BIOS settings information, contact the motherboard manufacturer.

Operational Guidelines

Four channels of ZM-MFC2 detect fan RPM signals. The Alarm will activate if a fan is not connected or if there is no RPM input signal for any of the channels. To deactivate the Alarm, the Stand-By Mode (default setting: ON) of each unused channel must be deactivated. 1. Selecting a Channel/Deactivating Stand-By Mode (1) Select a channel with the Mode Button (The selected channel will begin to flicker). (2) Press the Jog Wheel to deactivate the selected channels Stand-By Mode. The fan image will turn off. (3) Deactivate the Stand-By Mode of all unused channels as mentioned above. Note: Deactivating the Stand-By Mode of all the channels will not deactivate other functions (Channel Output, RPM Display, RPM Setting & Saving etc.) 2. RPM Setting and Saving (1) Select a channel with the Mode Button. (2) Set the RPM with the Jog Wheel. (Turning the Jog Wheel in clockwise motion will increase the RPM, and turning it counter-clockwise will decrease the RPM) (3) Press the Mode Button again to save the set value and to select the next channel. (If nothing is input for 5 seconds, the ZM-MFC2 will automatically save the latest setting and leave the Setting Mode). 3. Initializing to Default Settings Press the Mode Button for 3 seconds. (The entire display will be on for 1 second and all fans will be set to 1500 RPM)

Y-Cable Guidelines

Use of the Y-cable allows the operation of 2 fans with 1 channel. Please read the following guidelines carefully before use. (1) A 3-pin fan must be connected to the White Housing. (2) The second fan must be connected to the Blue Housing. (3) The fan speed cannot be controlled if a fan is connected to the Blue Housing with no fan connected to the White Housing. (4) The fan speed is controlled according to the speed of the fan connected to the White Housing, and the specifications of the two fans must be identical.
Items to Check Before Reporting for Malfunction
1. Check to see that the CVS is properly connected to the ZM-MFC2 and PSU. 2. Check to see that all the cables are connected properly. 3. Check to see if pressing the Mode Button initializes the device to default settings. 4. Check the fans specifications. (1) The RPM of 2-Pin Fans that do not output RPM signals cannot be controlled. Must use 3-Pin Fans that output 2 clock pulses for each round. (2) Connecting a 3-Pin Fan to the PWM 4-Pin connector will not allow RPM control. 5. If there are any problems with the fan, then noise will interfere with the RPM clock waves. This disrupts accurate RPM control. 6. Fan RPM cannot be set higher than the fans specified value. If using a 3000RPM fan, then setting it to 5000RPM will not cause the fan to operate at 5000RPM. 7. For fans with a specified minimum RPM, if the fan is set to a low RPM, there may be cases in which the fans stop and restart rotating. This is not a defect of ZM-MFC2. You must set the RPM higher than the specified minimum RPM of the fan.
