INSTALLATION MANUAL
EKQuantum
Volume / Kinetic FLT

- 2 -
There are many ways to install your EK-Quantum Volume/Kinetic FLT as
it utilizes a standard fan mounting hole pattern with 15mm spacing, the
same as all EK radiators. The mounting holes have standard M4 threads
with maximum engagement of 10mm. Use of longer screws or screws
with incorrect threads such as those intended for fans or radiators may
damage your product!
Before you start using this product please follow these basic
guidelines:
Please carefully read the manual before beginning with the
installation process!
The EK fittings require only a small amount of force to screw
them firmly in place since the liquid seal is ensured by the
rubber o-ring gaskets.
The use of corrosion inhibiting coolants is always recommended
for any liquid cooling system. EKWB recommends any of the
EK-Cryofuel for worry-free usage.

STEP 1
INSTALLING EK-QUANTUM VOLUME / KINETIC FLT WITH SUPPLIED MOUNTS
To enable installation of the reservoir onto fans, radiators or where
clearance for the pump is required EK supplies a pair of FLT mounts
along with M4 nuts, washers and additional screws. They can be
positioned across any pair of mounting holes in several orientations.
STEP 1
Position the mounts as desired on the reverse side of the reservoir.
STEP 2
Screw the mounts in place using supplied M4x8 screws and 2.5mm
allen key.

Lastly the supplied M4 nuts, washers and M4x10 screws may be
used to secure the reservoir to a case with the mounts. This is useful
when there is no clearance behind for the pump or to prevent all
airflow being blocked

EK-Quantum Kinetic FLT has two inlet and two outlet ports, one of each
must be used! All 4 unused ports should be blocked using G1/4 plugs.
ATTACHING THE FITTINGS
EK-Quantum Volume FLT has two ports which can be used as inlet or
outlet, the chosen outlet should connect directly to your pump! The
reservoir should be positioned above the pump to ensure it does not
run without coolant. Both unused ports should be blocked using
G1/4 plugs.

CONNECTING THE D-RGB LED STRIP
Plug the 3-pin connector from Water block’s D-RGB LED light to the
DRGB HEADER on the motherboard. The LED will work if the pin
layout on the header is as follows: +5V, Digital, empty, Ground.
Please ensure that the arrow indicated on the connector is
plugged into the +5V line as indicated on your motherboard.
Failure to do so will damage your motherboard or LED strip.

TESTING THE LOOP
To make sure the installation of EK components was successful, we
recommend you perform a leak test for 24 hours.
When your loop is complete and filled with coolant, connect the
pump to a PSU outside of your system. Do not connect power to
any of the other components. Turn on the PSU and let the pump
run continuously. It is normal for the coolant level to drop during this
process as air collects in the reservoir.
Inspect all parts of the loop, and in the eventuality that coolant leaks,
fix the issue and repeat the testing process. Ensure that all hardware is
dry before the system is powered on in order to prevent any damage.
