KPA3 Fan Speed
Locked
 
|
Hi guys:
I am assembling a K3, and I am at the point where I am adding the KPA3 amplifier. There is a step where you test the fans --- under CONFIG --- going from FN1 to FN2, FN3, FN4 in steps. The fans are supposed to progressively run faster. Mine seem to maintain the same speed (seems fast, but they are silent. I almost can't hear them) for all 4 positions. I cannot tell the difference. Anyone know what this is about? Tnx de Brian W3BW *Brian F.

Verify you have the fans plugged in correctly.

It's working. I don't know what changed. I completed installation of the
KPA3, and I tried the fans again. There is a distinct difference in speeds as I go from Fn1 to Fn4. I just didn't hear it before. Tnx. Brian *Brian F.
