Page 5: Positioning The System
Positioning the System This product must be operated in an upright orientation (shown below). Alternative orientations can prevent the coolant pump from operating properly. Combining Modules If you have purchased both RPM and HXM modules, they are combined together using hardware included with those products. Install the shorter fittings included with the RPM module onto its rear inlet and outlet. - Page 6 Fasten the included mounting bracket to the rear of the RPM module using four bracket screws. The bracket must match the orientation shown to the right. Push the RPM and HXM modules together. Their fittings will mate and seal. Finish combining modules by securing the bracket with its remaining four screws.

These can be added together for the total power requirement and range between 2-8A. CAUTION: Supply only the proper input voltage and polarity to the cooling system, as labeled below the terminals on the unit. -

Tube Fittings Tube fittings are purchased separately. Unlike the fittings used to combine RPM and HXM modules, threading for the tube fittings is tapered 1/4-inch NPT. Plumber’s tape (PTFE) is required to seal them properly. After wrapping with tape, the inlet and outlet fittings should be inserted by hand, then finished with a wrench for the last 1-2 rotations. -
