"KAZE MASTER II" Fan Controller

MANUAL DOWNLOARD

The Kaze Master II is the all-new fan controller priding itself with 4 new functions sized for the 5.25" bay. Retractable control knobs make it compatible with front panel fitted PC cases, the Spin Up Voltage function ensures a stable run of the fan right from the start. A new safety feature is the Power Feed Control - a function stopping the power supply automatically after 15 seconds of no fan movement. The Kaze Master II even has an over-heat alarm function to be set individually by the user. The digital display for temperature and rotation has been revised, too. The Kaze Master II lets the user control the temperature of their computers more precisely.

Size / Retractable knobs
The Kaze Master is designed to be installed into a 5.25" bay. As sticking-out control knobs would interfere with front panels of computer cases (not being able to close them), the Kaze Master II is equipped with retractable control knobs to make the usage with such models possible.

LCD Display
The LCD-display let`s the user check both fan rotations and the temperature. It is further possible to choose between Celsius and Fahrenheit.

Spin Up Voltage
The adjustable voltage range is between 3.7 to 12 volts. But as fans tend to have problems to "get going" in the lower ranges, this function ensures a 12 volt supply right from the start before settling down to the user`s set, desired voltage.

Setting of the Heat Alarm Function
The Kaze Master offers a wide range of adjustable temperature settings for the alarm to sound. The user can choose between 55 - 90 °C (131 - 194 F) in steps of 5 °C (41 F).

Power Feed Control
In case the Kaze Master II detects no fan movement for 15 seconds, for safety reasons the power supply will be cut automatically.

.Scythe’s Kaze Master II is a very sleek and capable fan controller. It can control up to 48 W of fans across four channels (12 W per channel), which should be enough power for the majority of users. The alarm is a great feature to let you know something is wrong in case temperatures get too high or the RPM reading reaches zero(0) for some reason. The “Spin Up” voltage starts fans that require more voltage to start than to run, in the situation where there are high-powered fans turned down below starting voltage during operation. The dip switches makes it very easy to set the display and set the alarm, much better than the jumpers used on the original Kaze Master. My favorite feature of the Kaze Master II is its retractable knobs; I can’t count how many times I’ve been annoyed that cases with front doors and fan controllers with knobs are incompatible with each other if I want to retain use of the case door. As far as I know, it’s the only knobbed fan controller suitable for people with a door that covers the 5.25″ bays on their case.
