Reservoir & Pumps - 

The coolant tank is grouped with the main pump(s) and is  

primarily responsible for bleeding air from the liquid while the system is operating. 
It is also translucent for easy liquid-level monitoring.

Power Circuit Board - 

Beneath the reservoir, the Power Circuit is responsible for 

a number of tasks, including: powering the pumps, LED display, heat exchanger 
fans, and operating the audio alarm and shutdown modes.

Radiator - 

The primary heat exchanger is located beneath the fan cooling module. 

This is the main cooling element, and provides high thermal dissipation in a 
relatively small area. Inside, an aluminum mesh (Louver 

fi

 n) is webbed between 

horizontal liquid paths.

Coolant Outlet

CAUTION:

  (Pump speed control models) Due to electrical tolerances, 

the lowest pump speed settings may stop the pump from running. Be 
sure the pump continues to run when operated at lower speeds.
