Not every EUROCASE is installed in a 20°C / 68°F air-conditioned studio!
EOLE is a 4HP module that ventilates, regulates and monitors your precious modules against excessive temperatures.
EOLE is recommended for hot ambient temperatures and more if you using vacuum tube and power-hungry modules, as the internal temperature of your EUROCASE can rise dangerously and reduce the lifespan of all your modules.
Ventilate
The vast majority of EUROCASE units are airtight and often made of insulating materials such as wood and many users, for obvious aesthetic reasons (I do too), obstruct free spaces, trapping the air and preventing natural convection of the warm air produced by your modules and their internal power supply. In many cases ventilation is essential!
Regulate
EOLE stabilizes the temperature in your EUROCASE by varying the fan speed.
Temperature control improves the stability of certain modules, such as analogue VCOs.
Monitor
Some of the electronic components used in your modules have absolute operating temperatures that must not exceed 75°C / 167°F!
Exceeding this temperature will shorten the life of the components and ultimately the module.
Technical details
● Temperature sensor precision: +/-2°C
● Linear fan speed control (No switching) with passive filters to prevent noise feedback.
● Uses only the -12V rail.
● Power requirement 15 mA to 120 mA, depends on temperature and fan speed.
● Polarised power header and protection against reverse polarity.
● Eurorack 4 HP wide, maximum depth 60mm.
