Identification notes
What is known
Three August 15, 2026 photographs establish a new L'Archive sensor object. The stainless cover is engraved `aqua computer` and `made in germany`, while the exposed connector area is labeled `temp`, `USB`, `alarm`, and `aquabus`. These features and the operator identification match Aqua Computer's flow sensor `high flow USB`, article 53129. The manufacturer manual describes this model as a mechanical inline flow sensor whose coolant-driven impeller is electronically converted to a flow value; flow direction is not relevant. It supports USB and aquabus communication, a programmable alarm or speed-signal output, and an external temperature sensor input. Original delivery included the sensor, an internal USB cable, a three-contact aquabus/speed-signal cable, and a manual. No cables are visible in this accession. Two loose metal fitting components and a ruler appear beside the sensor, but the photographs do not establish the fittings' manufacturer, thread, completeness, seal condition, or ownership relationship to this sensor; they remain contextual evidence rather than registered contents. No fluid ports or permanent product label are visible clearly enough to document thread condition or a serial identifier. The photographs do not establish free impeller movement, internal cleanliness, prior coolant chemistry, seal condition, USB enumeration, aquabus address, firmware, calibration, flow accuracy, alarm output, external-temperature input, or leak integrity. Inspect the ports and seals dry, identify any retained cables and fittings, configure and verify article type 53129 over USB in aquasuite, then wet-test with known flow and pressure outside a powered computer before restoration service.
Restoration relevance
Why it remains connected
new accession / manufacturer model verified / cables, fittings, thread condition, USB enumeration, aquabus communication, calibration, flow response, and leak integrity pending. Disposition: keep pending test. The object remains associated with L’ARCHIVE / CaseLabs Mercury S8 Restoration.
Uncertainty notes
What remains unresolved
recovered loose / stainless cover and exposed connector opening photographed with dust, surface marks, and possible light oxidation or residue / internal impeller and seals not inspected. new accession / manufacturer model verified / cables, fittings, thread condition, USB enumeration, aquabus communication, calibration, flow response, and leak integrity pending. Terms marked unknown, provisional, pending, or unverified remain part of the record until evidence resolves them.
