External Fan Control 

 

 
The 

TECSource

 has a built-in user adjustable 4-12V DC power supply designed 

to provide up to 350mA to an external fan, such as those built into the 

240 

Series

 

LaserMounts

. When using the 

TECSource

 with mounts that require a 

fan, no additional external power supply is needed, and the Arroyo 126xB series 
cables all include the wiring to connect the fan power to the mount. 
 
Fan control is setup in the menu using the 

Ext Fan

Ext Fan Pwr

Ext Fan 

Mode

, and 

Ext Fan Off

 settings. 

 

Ext Fan 

can be set to 

Off

Slow

Medium

Fast

, or 

Custom

. When set to 

Off

, the 

fan power is never turned on. 

Slow

Medium

, and 

Fast

 correspond to 9V, 10.5V, 

and 12V. To select a different voltage, choose the 

Custom

 setting and then 

adjust the 

Ext Fan Pwr

 menu item to the desired voltage, from 4.0V to 12.0V. 

 
The fan on/off mode can be controlled using the 

Ext Fan Mode

 setting. There 

are five modes: 
 

Auto 

Fan is turned on whenever the TEC output is on, and turns off when the 

TEC output is turned off. 

On 

Fan is always on. 

Delay 

Similar to the 

Auto

 mode, the fan is turned on whenever the TEC output 

is on, but when the TEC is turned off, the fan will remaining running for 
an addition number of minutes as defined by the 

Ext Fan Off 

setting. 

Cool 

Fan is turned on whenever the TEC output is on and cooling, off 
otherwise. 

Heat 

Fan is turned on whenever the TEC output is on and heating, off 
otherwise.
