Connections & Operation
After mounting the fans, select the location for the fan
controller. It has 2 magnets on its flanges, allowing it to
adhere to most audio-video components. Run the fan wires
to the controller, and plug them onto the connectors FAN 1
or FAN 2. Plug the thermal probe’s cable onto the
connector THRM on the controller. Plug the power supply
into an AC outlet that is always live, and plug the power
supply’s output lead into J1 on the controller. The green
led should light. When the probe’s temperature-sensitive
tip reaches approximately 88-90 degrees, the fans will
begin to turn and the red led will light. Use a hair dryer to
test the system; do NOT use an open flame or heat-shrink
gun.

Note –
When cooling modern home theater systems, the fans may run continuously. Cable boxes, satellite
receivers, some whole-house amplifiers and digital program recorders run continuously. Their heat
may be enough to keep the Cool-vent fans in operation. The Cool-vents, like all ATM products, are
designed to operate continuously, drawing only a few watts of electrical power while keeping
temperatures low in an enclosure.
