Cooling components without top openings –
Center the Cool-slim over the hottest area on the component being cooled. It will pull cool room
air over and along the top of the component, removing much of the heat being generated.
All components –
Place the probe where it can sense the heat coming from the component to be cooled (frequently
this will be under or beside the Cool-slim). Plug the probe’s cable into the right-hand jack on the
rear panel, and the power supply cable into the left-hand jack. (See Figure 2.) Plug the power
supply into an AC outlet that is always live. When the probe’s temperature-sensitive tip reaches
approximately 88-90 degrees, the fans will begin to turn. The fans will stop when the temperature
drops by several degrees.
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 fans in operation. The Cool-slim, like all ATM products, is
designed to operate continuously, drawing only a few watts of electrical power while keeping
equipment temperatures low.
