ALX systems are composed of two modules physically connected together: the

front “RPM” and rear “HXM”. Diagrams below are general representations, as

individual module specications and sizes can vary.

Combining Modules

If you have purchased both RPM and HXM modules, they are combined together

using hardware included with those products.

This product must be operated in an upright orientation (shown below). Alternative

orientations can prevent the coolant pump from operating properly.

Install the shorter ttings included with the

RPM module onto its rear inlet and outlet.

These should be nger-tightened. (This

is a parallel thread, do not use plumber’s

tape.)

Install the longer ttings included with

the HXM module onto its *front* inlet and

outlet. These should be nger-tightened.

(This is a parallel thread, do not use

plumber’s tape.)

Fittings on Front of HXM

User Manual

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 ttings will mate and seal.

Finish combining modules by securing

the bracket with its remaining four

screws.

Two screws are installed into

corresponding holes on each side of

the HXM module.

There are several available wire terminals near

the reservoir window of the RPM module:

1. Two K-Type Thermocouples (not included)

2. Relay Output NO/NC (normally open or closed)

3. USB for Data Logging (Type B Plug)

4. HXM Module, Fan & Flow Meter ribbon cable

5. Connect power leads to the red positive “+” and

black negative “-” power terminals, as labeled on

the side of the unit.

Connect the included ribbon cable

between RPM and HXM “HX Module”

plugs. For the data logging feature,

attach the included USB cable.

There is a cable guide beneath the

reservoir to hide some of the wiring.

The ALX cooling system requires a 12VDC power supply (not included). Amperage

for RPM and HXM modules are printed separately on their labels. 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. Improper

power can damage the unit and is not covered under the warranty.

Wiring

For a cleaner appearance, the power and

USB cables can be routed beneath the

HXM module towards the back.

Zip ties are included to secure them to the

radiator grill (use needle-nose pliers).

User Manual

Cut tubing into two segments. You

will need to connect each to the rear

ttings.

Each tubing connection will use a threaded compression

ring or tube clamp to keep it secure. Be sure to thread

the compression ring or tube clamp onto the tubing

before attaching it.

Squeeze the tube while pushing it rmly over

the tting. Tubing should completely cover the

tting or barb. This step can be eased by rst

dipping the end of the tubing in water.

Tighten the connection by sliding the compression

nut down over the tting and screwing securely.

For barbed ttings, use pliers to move the clamp

into the proper position before releasing.

Tube ttings are purchased separately.

Unlike the ttings used to combine RPM and

HXM modules, threading for the tube ttings is

tapered 1/4-inch NPT. Plumber’s tape (PTFE) is required to

seal them properly.

Tube Fittings

After wrapping with tape, the inlet and

outlet fittings should be inserted by

hand, then nished with a wrench for

the last 1-2 rotations.

Power on the cooling unit, and increase the pump speed to move coolant if

needed. When most of the air has been pushed out of the tubing, the liquid

noise will decrease. This process can take several minutes, depending

on the lling technique and components attached to the cooling system.

During this process, liquid components (or the cooling system itself) may need to

be tilted gently to assist with air evacuation. The reservoir level will decrease during

this procedure. Remove the ll port cap and add more liquid as needed.

Slowly ll the system with coolant. To

maintain the product warranty, use

only Koolance approved coolant.

Many alternative liquids and additives

can cause permanent damage to the

cooling unit (through chemical reaction,

corrosion, biological growth, high thermal

expansion, viscosity, etc.).

Replace the ll port on the reservoir. Do not overtighten the ll

port.

Once all devices (cold plates, ttings,

etc.) have been connected with tubing,

the system can be lled with coolant.

The ll port is located above the reservoir. Remove

the large slot-headed screw with a screwdriver or

large coin.

Coolant Filling and Power-On

WARNING:Most coolants are electrically conductive. Use caution

when lling the system, and keep all liquids away from electronics

and power cables. Keep the primary AC supply unplugged whenever

lling or draining coolant.

Coolant will be lled to about 1/2-inch (13mm) from the top of the reservoir. Never

completely ll or “top-o󰀨” the reservoir. An air gap must always remain to ac-

commodate thermal expansion of the liquid.
