What it is

The module sold here is the block's display unit, used when the one on a cuplex kryos NEXT has to be swapped. Aquacomputer describes the VISION module as a multi-purpose display and monitoring controller. The block itself ships with a separate installation manual, and the module goes in following that manual.

As on every OLED display, active pixels lose brightness over time. To spread that wear evenly, the screen can run inverted half of the time, and the inverted mode can be left on permanently to counteract wear that already shows.

What you need to connect it

The module talks to the PC through an internal USB header on your motherboard. That header is usually a 9 pin connector with two independent USB ports. Take special care that the pin alignment matches: the black GND wires go to the side of the missing pin. A spare cable for this is the internal USB connection cable for VISION, 100 cm (53215).

aquasuite software

Setup and monitoring run in aquasuite, Aquacomputer's Windows software, though the module does not need it to operate, since every setting can be saved into the device's memory. With this product you receive a license for the current aquasuite version: activation includes an upgrade service for at least six (6) months. After it expires, the latest version from the upgrade period stays usable and reinstallable with no time limit. The update service can be extended or renewed for a fee. Please note that an Internet connection is required to install and activate the software. Further information about the licensing and activation can be found on Aquacomputer's website.

Notes

• Completely turn off your power supply or unplug the mains power cord before connecting or disconnecting any cable.
• Electronic components and headers must not get in contact with coolant or water. Clean the module with a dry, soft cloth.

The manual covers the whole VISION series, so some chapters do not apply to this module.
