3. CONNECTIONS TO THE BLOODHOUND SYSTEM

All outside connections are made to the external surfaces of the case to allow for the case to be closed when

in operation.

A. Cooling Vent

On the side of the case is a large 1.9” filtered positive pressure cooling air

intake. This allows for the Bloodhound to regulate internal temperatures on hot

days, allows for the air to be filtered, and for a source of positive pressure. If

the filter is not used, dirt and debris can enter into the case of the Bloodhound

causing contamination and damage to the system over time.

The Bloodhound uses internal positive pressure through this filter to keep dust,

dirt and debris out of the inside case and system. Always use an air filter on the

Bloodhound system for years of trouble free operation. If the Bloodhound

needs to use a filtered source from an outside duct, such as an air conditioning

system, the size of the vent is the same as a 1 1/2” PVC tubing fitting and has a good friction fit. This allows

for easy plumbing of outside filtered sources. Blocking of this vent is not recommended and can cause the

Bloodhound to issue a high temperature alarm. The filter used is a common Dust Buster filter part number

VF100 that can be found on line. The exhaust of the Bloodhound can be found on the bottom of the case. Do

not block the exhaust hole on the bottom. If the Bloodhound alarms due to high temperature, unblocking the

cooling ports will quickly bring the temperature down.
