Power Converter
Normal Operation
The IceProbe will begin operating once the proper electrical connections are made (there is no “on/off” switch). The system is
designed to run continuously when plugged in. The green LED indicates that power is being delivered to the cooling element.
When the system is running, you should be able to see the fan quietly turning and you should be able to feel warm air being
exhausted through the aluminum heat sink.
In applications where the IceProbe is cooling large volumes of water, such as in aquariums, the temperature of the probe will
only be slightly cooler than the liquid around it. To achieve the maximum temperature pull down, the unit must run continuously
for several days.
Optional Temperature Controller
The chiller cools continuously when powered. In most aquarium implementations, the CoolWorks Proportional Temperature
Controller
is added to regulate the IceProbe’s cooling power.
Temperature Controller
IceProbe
CoolWorks offers two Proportional Temperature Controllers for aquarium applications. Our TEC-65 controller is designed for
tropical aquarium environments, with an adjustable temperature range of 65ºF to 85ºF. Our TEC-45 is designed for cold water
aquariums with a temperature range of 45ºF to 65ºF.
