Hello! I want to thank you so much (!) for this very interesting and helpfull video! It is fantastic how you have explained everything in detail. I find this circuit very complicated but very much helpful after understanding what all the flashing LEDs are meaning :-). I will have to look your video another two or three times to get it but I am so happy you made the functionality public. Otherwise I would never have an idea how to use this little thing! :-) Best regards to you. Boris, Switzerland
Thank you very much for this. I just couldn't figure out the instructions. By posting this you have saved me, and many others, hours of messing around.
ordered one thinking, how hard it could be setting this up, but then the item came and the instruction was i think written by the an ancient technician organization that it will make you think if you do understand symbols. thanks to you, i found this video been searching for this for quite sometime, was about to throw the item away if i couldn't make it work. please continue doing tutorial vids! appreciate this very much.
Wow ! Fantastic video for buyers of this gadget that even sellers struggle to help dummies like me. Teaching techniques impressed even my wife who is a decorated lecturer and teaching expert. Cheers !
14:40 It's not exactly that. Long press (While power off) +"power on" to set if the min voltage is always put out to the FAN or if it works as a Gate (for silent operation). While powered on, 1 click increases Min output Voltage by 5°c, dble click decrease the min voltage output by 5°c. While powered on "1st Long press" for slow blink gives the minimum temperature for ramping up (threshold temperature) again 1 click = 5°c inc. dbleclick = -5°c. Then "2nd Long press" fast blinking, to set the temperature range from min to max output V.
Thank you, this was exactly what I needed to make sure I understood the chinese-translated instructions before I purchased one :). Excellent video, straight to the point and very well-planned! Out of curiosity, where are you from? I can't place your accent.
Great video! that keeps on giving even 3 years later ! I'm looking for similar device but one that functions from 20 c not 30c. Wonder if something like that is out there?
Thank you so much!! Would have taken ages to figure out on my own.. Is it possible to set the voltage to turn off completely, or is there always power drawn??
Can you explain to us how I can make a car fan speed controller up and down with the change of temperature

Awesome video. Really helpful. Do you know what type of temperature sensor is that? Is it a 10k or 1k? I want to use it with a custom water cooler. The water temperature sensor is a 10k. That means that at room temperature (25 degrees) the typical resistance is 10k ohms.
Thanks for the very clear explanation! I love the way you did this video. I have bought a few nice PWM fans together with a PWM temperature controller (also from Ali) to cool my AV stuff (amp / BluRay etc) but unfortunately this controller is unable to shut down the fans ... they always run at a minimum duty cycle of 20%. Do you (or anyone else) know a PWM controller that is able to shut the fans of? Otherwise this board you explained is a very good candidate for my purpose. Again thank you very much for your clear explanation.
@@powerbatterychannel4315 Thanks again for your explanation. I received the controllers (I bought four of them) yesterday and tested them today. It works perfectly and just as you described, I wanted the fans to NOT rotate when it is normal temperature and only start when the temperature threshold is reached.
@@edwinburggraaf8224 It seems that these do not have PWM output at all, but they do have the ability to turn off non-PWM fans via a hidden menu. Go to 11:10 in the video to see how to access that. He isn't clear on what condition causes the "off" state (5% decrease [from what?]), but you can do a bit of experimenting.

Hello. I wanted to know if this device could be connected to a 12v 2-pin fan. And another thing, I want to use it so that the fan starts when the temperature rises below a certain value, and stops when the temperature drops below a certain value. Can that be done with this device? Thank you.
seems 1X4L the hidden menu seems to make it work in reverse; as the temp sensor gets colder the fan goes faster:S.... not sure about having it stop completely
I’m here for this too. I have the 1X4L and the hidden menu position 2 and 3 make the fan run at full speed rather than setting it to be off. Position 1 allows the min speed set in menu 1. Shame I can’t stop the fan. No big issue as in my application I’ll use a override thermistor at 50 degrees C
Will I need two of these boards if I want to control 2 fans at the same time with the same settings (1 exhaust, 1 intake) or can I just use one board and use fansplitter cable?I'm just not very knowledgeable about currents and voltages unfortunately.
You should use 2 boards and also it's necessary to define voltage and power consumption of your fans. Please, subscribe to my another channel: ua-cam.com/channels/bQUNw5V5pDPXugLX1FP_Fg.html
@powerbatterychannel4315 I have just subbed there. Thank you. I'm thinking of just ordering some 80mm pc fans, which as I take it should be 3 pin 12v or 4 pin 12v. When you say I should define fan and power consumption, did you mean I have to set that on the controller? Or did you mean that its just necessary to order fans that will spin at this voltage level?
Please still not sure is it work with car Radiator fan? If it's work so only I need to connect direct v12 and signal from the temp sensor then 2 wires to the fam. I'm right?
@@abufaisal2199 I have no idea about car radiator fan, correspondingly, I can't suggest you anything. All these devices can withstand the load less than 1A. So, you should find the fan with the corresponding amperage.
A module I've come across has 3 pin for input and 3 pin for output. A 3 pin fan is connected at the output. If I connect only +ve and -ve at input, can the fan speed still be controlled ?
@@powerbatterychannel4315 Thanks for replying. I've seen the video. Pardon me but I'm a noob when it comes to electronics. My confusion is with the third pin at the INPUT side on a temperature control module I've come across online and wanted to purchase. My power supply only has 2 pins, so the 2 pin power supply has to be connected to the INPUT side of the 3 pin module. In the video the module has 3 pins at output, not at input.
Mine just stays flashing and doesnt seem to do anything "out of the box", using a noctura flx fan and though these would work. Any ideas? As you noted its hard to find anything
hi, thx for detailed video. But I have some questions, I hope you can answer. I have a large 40w pwm fan. It is variable speed controlled by using a 3pin wire lead, to a control box with a potentiometer. But I want to automate this speed controller. Could I simply remove my control box and wire the ZHIYU 1X3L to the 3 pin wire lead? Also how could I change the temp probe to be more sensitive? I need the temp range to start at 10 Celsius.Kind regards!
This video is absolutely essential if you buy one of these temperature controller modules. I haven’t found anywhere else that explains it this well.
Thanks!

A little zoom in???? What do you reach when pussing 20? 30 ? times??
