Cool-vent II-E & III-E Installation Instructions

The Cool-vents are compact self-contained air moving devices for use in enclosures housing

heat-producing equipment. They can easily be field-modified to work in either intake or

exhaust mode. If used as an intake device, provisions must be made to allow the escape of hot

air; similarly, when used in exhaust mode, there must be an opening through which room air

can enter.

Cool-vents are powered by a plug-type power supply and are controlled by a thermal probe

connected to a small module, switching on at 90 degrees. They mount on a finished surface

through cutouts shown in the accompanying chart. The fan assembly is easily separated from

the wood grille to allow finishing the grille without damaging the fans.

Model Rough opening Finished size Number/size of

fans

Cool-vent II 4⅛" x 14⅛" 5 ½" x 15 ½" 4/80mm

Cool-vent III 6⅛" x 14⅛" 7 ⅛" x 15 ½" 2/120mm

As shipped, Cool-vents are assembled as an intake device; air is pulled from the grille side

through the fans.

When the fan and grille sections are reattached, the Cool-vent can be assembled to operate in

either intake or exhaust mode.



In intake mode, it can be mounted low on a cabinet to bring room air in.



In exhaust mode, it can be mounted above or behind an amplifier or another heat-

producing component to expel heated air.

To install Cool-vent: 1. Separate the fan and grille sections by removing the nuts on the threaded studs. Use a 5/16" open-end wrench. 2. Finish the wooden grille section as desired. Allow to dry completely before reassembling to the fan section. (Read the following cautionary note.

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.
