    High-quality housing made of aluminum
    LC display with green lighting
    Four channels each with 30 watts of power
    Connections for 3x 3-pin & 1x 4-pin fans
    Four temperature sensors already included
    Automatic or manual control via remote control

Design & installation of the CR430 fan controller

Lamptron's CR430 fan controller adds a practical solution to the regulation of built-in fans. The compact housing captivates with its black optic and surrounds the green glowing LC display in a perfect way. The control is done with the enclosed remote control. For example, the CR430 can be placed and controlled in a 5.25-inch format in a case with a transparent side panel or outside of the case.

A total of three standard (3-pin) and one PWM (4-pin) fans can be connected, with the latter also being replaced by a standard fan. In addition to the 4-pin cable and the three 3-pin cables, the scope of supply also includes a total of four temperature sensors. Power is supplied to the fan control via a 4-pin Molex connector, which in turn is not included.

Functions of the CR430 fan control

The fan controller offers a variety of information and configuration options. In addition to a power-on / off switch, it is possible to switch between the four available channels. The selected channel will also be displayed large again. The middle of the display shows the current speed of the fan in the form of a tachometer. To the left are the temperature and a changeable speed, volt or percent display.

The CR430 fan control also offers the possibility to make all settings manually or to select automatic operation. In addition, the brightness of the lighting can be adjusted in three stages (100%, 50% or 0%). After switching on the fan control, the lighting is set to 100% by default. In automatic mode, it turns off after three minutes.

The CR430 is also equipped with an alarm function that can warn the user if the temperature is too low or too high. This feature is quick and easy to configure and also easy to disable or enable. Likewise, you can switch between "Quiet" and "Fullpower" modes, depending on the cooling requirements.

Note: The three 3-pin connectors also accept 4-pin PWM fans instead of standard fans. However, these can only be regulated by the voltage.
