System Info

7.5  Cooling system

To avoid damage to the Podium Racing Wheel F1® there is an effective cooling 

system integrated to the hardware and the firmware.

7.5.1  Hardware measures

The Podium Wheel Base DD1 PS4™ uses an internal fan to expel hot air from 

the back of the device.

Note:

 Do not cover the air intake on the front side with accessories, and 

do not place any items in a 10cm range behind the wheel base to allow 

proper cooling airflow.

7.5.2  Automatic fan adjustment

The firmware provides different stages of fan control which are clearly defined 

after intensive lab testing.
When switching ON, the Podium Racing Wheel F1® fan operates at maximum 

speed until calibration run is completed.
The operation speed of the fan is adjusted according to the currently detected 

temperature of the motor inside the Podium Racing Wheel F1® and could even 

stop, depending on your firmware version.
The temperature control and fan behaviour is subject to change by firmware 

updates.
