General Information
The Vivid
i
n/ Vivid q N cooling system comprises five fans, which are directly controlled through the
FAN controller module, by the monitoring application. The fans withdraw air from the system through
the side vents, removing the warm air from around the internal components, as shown in
.
The structure of Vivid
i
n and Vivid q N internal components has been designed to provide the best
thermal conduction, allowing the maximum amount of heat to be removed from the system. It is crucial
that the system ventilation access is not blocked; a distance of at least 20 cm from right and left sides
of the system should be kept clear. In addition, operating the system in an unclean environment could
introduce foreign objects into the unit and create blockage of the airflow, which may eventually cause
irreparable damage to the system. There are therefore some minimal environmental conditions that
should be provided for optimum operation of the system - for details and recommendations, refer to
.
