12v Trigger Input Jack
The Zbreeze 12V input uses a 2.5 mm sub-mini jack. To trigger the Zbreeze, plug one end of
the provided cord into the In jack and the other end into the system controller’s or preamp’s
12V trigger output. Some components, including Parasound Surround Controllers, use 3.5 mm
trigger output jacks, so we have also included a trigger wire with 2.5mm and a 3.5mm mini
plugs. If the control component’s trigger output is a + and - terminal, you can cut the 2.5 mm
plug off one end of the included trigger wire and attach the bare wires to these terminals. The
lead with the white stripe on it corresponds to the plug’s tip and the unmarked lead
corresponds to the sleeve of the plug.
Note:
If the trigger voltage source is DC, the trigger plug tip
must be + (positive) and its sleeve – (negative). The Zbreeze
trigger current draw is a negligible 15 mA.
12v Trigger Loop Jack
The Loop jack is connected to the 12V Input jack to “loop” the
12 volt trigger to another device. It provides a convenient way to
connect another component for 12V trigger operation.
AC Inlet
Set the AC line (mains) voltage before you connect the Zbreeze’s
power cord and before you install it.
Note:
The AC source should be constant (unswitched) if the Zbreeze is operated manually. If the
AC source is switched, then the Zbreeze should be operated with the Turn On switch set for AC.
Operating the Zbreeze
The Zbreeze is a local-area cooling fan which is designed to prevent hot spots from developing.
It runs continuously whenever your equipment is on, at whichever speed you have selected.
The Zbreeze should be located above your component that generates the most heat. The
Zbreeze will draw in the heated air from above this component and force it out the top cover
and rear panel. This air circulation will prevent either the heat producing component or the
component(s) above it from overheating.
If you can provide some space between the Zbreeze and the the components above and below
it, you will increase its efficiency and reduce the acoustical noise. In an equipment rack this
would result in leaving one rack space empty above and/or below each Zbreeze.
