This is a More Aggressive Cooling Package for Mid to Larger Systems Installed in Cabinetry

It is important when venting cabinetry that a 2 prong approach is taken which involves venting the cabinet which means exhausting the hot air generated by the components which is accomplished with the HiFlo Lite Units. The second important principle is to eliminate heat pockets in the cabinets which can form in areas between the shelves where the heat from the components accumulates and stays. Even well vented cabinets form heat pockets that can exist due to airflow patterns that do not disrupt the hot pocket of air. This is why it is important to use cooling units like the Component Unit, DUO, and SPOT coolers to disrupt the hot pockets of air and get them to be part of the airflow pattern that then leads to being exhausted by the vent fan. It should also be noted that need to ensure that air can easily pass through shelving and different areas of the cabinetry.

This package features and includes two HiFlo Lite Vents for venting the cabinet and a Component Unit LT with controller and display to cool a larger component. This also includes a SPOT and DUO unit for spot cooling which simply means placing it on typically an amplifier or receiver.

The package also includes two Power Supplies and the 3-Fan Advanced LT Temperature Controller that will turn the fans On and Off and vary the speed of the fans based on temperature.

So a common configuration for this package will be install the HiFlo Lite Vents to Exhaust the hot air from the cabinet. They can be configured to both exhaust or create a push pull configuration with mounting one fan lower injecting cooler air into the cabinet and the other fan higher in the cabinet exhausting the hot air. Both of these fans can operate together so they can be used on a shared output of on the controller which means connect a Y-Cable to the Fan 1 output of the controller and the two leads go to the fans. Then the Component Unit would be used on your hottest running component which would typically be an amplifier. The Spot and DUO should be used in different shelf areas in a cabinet and simply be used to ensure that heat pockets get dissipated which just takes moving air around which gets it to naturally rise.

Built-In Cabinetry. One question we are frequently asked is how we cool built-in cabinetry and the primary solution is typically pretty simple. Since options for exhausting the cabinet are limited unless run a duct to the cabinet during construction, the next best option is to vent to the adjacent cabinets and simply away from the equipment. For example, say the cabinet system has 4 bays on the bottom and the 2 center bays have the equipment. The simple solution with this package is use the HiFlo Lite units to vent to the outer cabinets and I often joke telling people to use those cabinets to put towels for warming or for even cooking the thanksgiving day turkey but in reality the air will not damage anything. Those cabinet can also be passively opened to other areas as well which just means cut an opening but a fan is not used.

This system is easily installed with following these instructions and looking at the wiring diagram in the pics.

HiFlo Lite. First determine the best location for the unit which is typically higher in the cabinet and towards the back. One the location is selected, cut a 3 3/4" x 3 3/4" square hole, inserting the unit into the hole, screwing the plate to the cabinet and then installing the desired grill.

Alternate Installation Method. Another option for installation is to drill a 3.5" round hole, mount the fan unit on the inside of the cabinet over the hole and then mount the grill on the outside over the hole.

One tip is may want to plug it into the y-cable prior prior to installing the vent.

Component Unit. This unit is intended to be placed on top of a unit that generates significant heat such as an amplifier, receiver, or control component. This unit has a built-in controller and is intended to be separate from the other cooling components.

SPOT & DUO Unit. This is intended to simply sit on top of a heat producing component so attach the provided rubber feet and select a position on the desired component.

Temperature Controller. The 3-Fan ALT controller will control 3 sets of fans independently. Typically use the 1st bank fan for the ventilation fan (HiFlo Lite) and run the sensor to the top area of the cabinet and ensure it is not resting directly onto a component as it will not operate properly. The 2nd fan output can be run the Component Unit and the 3rd to the DUO unit.

Power Supply. The power supply is variable voltage and since are using the Basic Controller, the fan speed can be controlled by selecting different voltages. The most common setting is 9V but can use 7V for quieter operation or 12V for more aggressive cooling but at 12V the fans may be audible. If the fans are too loud, turn down one setting.

Wiring. Most wiring uses the 2-pin connector while some components use a 2.1 coax connector which should be provided and needs to be connected to the 2-pin connector end. When plugging wires together, always ensure to align Tip to + or + to +. See the diagram in the pics for different configurations as generally the temperature controller plugs inline between the power supply and fan units.
