Radiator - The primary heat exchanger is the main cooling element, and provides
high thermal dissipation in a relatively small area. Inside, a metal web of louver
fins stretch between flat liquid pipes.
Reservoir & Pump - The coolant tank is transparent for easy liquid-level monitoring
through the front window. It is filled through a small metal fill port on top. The
reservoir is illuminated for easy observation.
CAUTION: Due to electrical tolerances, the lowest pump speed set-

tings may stop the pump from running. Be sure the pump continues
to run when operated at lower speeds.
System Features
This cooling system can monitor up to 3 included temperature sensors. The first
LED digit indicates which sensor channel is currently displayed in the temperature
reading. To cycle through sensors, press SET.
Fan Speed
This option adjusts the radiator fan speed. Higher speeds can improve performance,
but will produce more noise. There is 1 automatic and 10 manual fan settings (1-
10). From the fan (“F”) or any cycle mode, press the ▼ or ▲ buttons to adjust fan
settings, or hold down an arrow to skip to the lowest or highest mode directly.
Automatic mode will adjust the fans for you based on temperature values from
sensor #1. This mode is reached by lowering the fan setting to “0” (Aut / A will
be displayed).
Pump Speed
There are 10 manual pump settings (1-10). From the pump (“P”) mode, press
