The long-awaited Koolance TMS-200 thermal management system provides convenient software control over features found in many Koolance systems: temperature feedback, pump speeds, and fan speeds. In addition to these basic functions, however, are a wealth of extra capabilities!

TMS-200 supports 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista, and (coming soon) Windows 7. Hardware is included for mounting the TMS interface card into an empty motherboard slot or 5.25" drive bay. All communication occurs via an external or internal USB port, even when installed into a motherboard slot. The TMS hardware board is powered by a direct 12V Molex power supply connection.

Have dual cooling loops? With the optional TMS-EB200 Expansion Board, TMS-200 has the capability to double the number of components it can monitor and control.

Components included: TMS interface board, metal L-bracket, aluminum 5.25" drive bay tray, 5 x temperature sensors, ATX shutdown lead, external USB cable, internal USB cable, Molex power extension, 3 x 3-pin fan wire extensions, 1 x 3-pin pump wire extension.

COMPATIBILITY NOTES: TMS can not adjust pump or fan speeds for Koolance "Exos" and "ERM" units without some customer DIY wiring extensions, and is not generally intended to be used with these external products. (Internal chassis or secondary radiator fans could be controlled instead.) Coolant flow reporting requires an optional Koolance INS-FM16 or INS-FM17 flow meter. Pump power adjustment requires a Koolance PMP-400 or PMP-450 12V DC pump-based system, such as: RP-1000, PC4, PC5, TNK-400, etc. Pump speed RPM reporting requires 3-wire (tach) pumps. Fan speed RPM reporting requires 3-wire (tach) fans.

TMS-200 Main Board Features:

• Temperature monitoring of up to 5 sensors, each with individual alarm and power shutdown settings
• User-defined pump "auto" settings: set the min/max temperature values and speed for one 12V DC pump
• User-defined fan "auto" settings: set the min/max temperature values and speed for three 12V DC fans
• Coolant flow rate reporting for one Koolance flow meter
• Pump and fan RPM reporting
• Pump performance test mode
• Logging and playback of: temperatures, fan speed, pump speed, and coolant flow rate (creates raw text file)
• Option for hardware or software safety shutdown with adjustable delay period, based on any temperature

Allows custom alarm sounds through an available sound card

Optional TMS-EB200 Expansion Board Features:

• Adds 1 additional pump
• Adds 1 additional flow meter
• Adds 3 additional fans
• Adds 5 additional temperature sensors

I bought this product two weeks ago. I realized all the problems that people are talking about. Mine has no connection all the time. I sent it back to Koolance and replace it. They will flash the firmware and send it to you by air. Right now this thing works perfectly well with the newest software which is TMS2.1.13 So buy this, it is very nice and Koolance service is amazing!!!!!!!

In theory the TMS-200 is a fine idea, that doesn''t work anywhere near as well as it should. The combination of shakey hardware AND software is unique.

I purchased one of these from Koolance directly. Unfortunately I failed to read the forums. These things are riddled with problems. I can''t even get mine to see the com port its on, let alone begin to use its functions. The TMS-100''s were buggy but I''m still running 4 of them and they are like a dream compared to this. Reminds me of the old addage, "the devil you know is infinitely better than the devil you don''t know." I''ve used all sorts of Koolance products for several years, and built over 10 systems with them with almost no problems. I don''t consider myself a crank towards them or anything such as that, but they have completely failed with this product.
