Radiator and Fan Installation

1. Mount the radiator to your PC case using radiator screws (M).
2. Attach the fans (A) to the radiator using fan screws (E). Ensure correct airflow direction (push or pull).
3. Connect the fans to the 4-pin PWM headers on your motherboard or use the 1-to-2 fan splitter (N) for dual fan setup.
4. Connect the water block pump to a SATA power connector from your power supply and the 5V Addressable RGB header on your motherboard or the included controller.

Diagrams illustrate mounting the radiator and fans, and connecting the pump and fan cables.

Mode Switching and Remote Controller

The POSEIDON LT 240 supports two modes for RGB lighting control:

• Default: Remote Controller: Use the included wireless controller.
• Press Once: Motherboard Driver RGB Control: Connect to a 5V Addressable RGB header on your motherboard for synchronization with motherboard software.
• Press Again: Turn Off RGB Lighting: Disables all RGB lighting.

Remote Controller Functions:

The wireless controller offers various options:

• ? Power Button: Turns the RGB lighting on/off.
• ✨ Autoplay All 100 Lighting Effects: Cycles through all available lighting presets.
• ◀️▶️ Light Flow Direction Adjustment: Changes the direction of lighting animations (Left/Right).
• ⏩ Next/Previous Lighting Effect (10 Most Popular Effects): Switches between 10 pre-selected popular effects.
• ⚡ Speed Adjustment: Controls the speed of lighting animations.
• ☀️ Brightness Adjustment: Adjusts the intensity of the RGB lighting.
• ⏩ Next/Previous Lighting Effect (ALL 100 EFFECTS): Cycles through all 100 available lighting effects.
• ? Single Color Lighting: Selects a static color.
• ⚙️ Press and Hold 3 Seconds: Restore Factory Settings: Resets the controller to default settings.
• ?⏩ Next/Previous Lighting Effect (Single Color Mode): Cycles through single color options.

Controller Binding and Unbinding:

To prevent interference from other controllers or to pair a new controller:

• Binding: Press and hold the controller's button for 5 seconds until the device's backlight changes to red. This pairs the controller to your POSEIDON LT.
• Unbinding: Press and hold the controller's button for 5 seconds until the device's backlight changes to white. This unbinds the controller. Use a new controller to unbind if the original is lost.

RGB Synchronization:

For system-wide RGB synchronization with more ARGB devices, COUGAR recommends using their Core Box V3/V2 (sold separately). These devices connect to motherboard 3-pin 5V Addressable RGB headers.

Diagrams illustrate the remote controller buttons and their functions, as well as the connection options for RGB synchronization using motherboard headers or external controllers like Core Box V3/V2.
