Setting up the FLO Tunnel
1. Plug the 12 V power supply into the control box (Figure 4).
2. Plug both adapter cords into the control box in the corresponding color slots and run the wires to the FLO
Tunnel and fog generator (Figure 5).
Using the FLO Tunnel
Note: The FLO Tunnel comes with three 18" dowel rods that can be cut to your desired length for testing.
Find an object you want to test, insert a dowel rod into it, cut the dowel rod to an appropriate length to t in
the FLO Tunnel, and insert the dowel rod into a magnetic base mount.
1. Pull the right side of the FLO Tunnel out (Figure 6). Take out the circle platform in the bottom of the FLO
Tunnel (Figure 7).
2. Place the object you want to test on a dowel rod and insert the dowel rod into a magnetic base mount (Figure 8).
3. Attach the magnetic base mount onto the circle platform and place the platform back into the FLO Tunnel
(Figure 9).

4. Push the On button for the FLO Tunnel and fog generator on the control box. Place the nozzle of the fog
generator on the right side of the FLO Tunnel and press the On button on the fog generator. Test the ow
of the air around the object by rotating the gear on the right side of the FLO Tunnel (Figures 10 and 11).
Change the wind speed of the FLO Tunnel by twisting the knob in the middle of the control box (Figure 12).
Note: Other items such as model cars, model airplanes, and geometric shapes can be tested in the FLO
Tunnel. The geometric shapes can be placed on the rotating platform to simulate a building layout and
rotated to show the ow of air around structures.
