Anybody got an idea on how to set this carbon filter setup?

Its like most filter fan combo.

Fasten part of the ducting to the filter.
Then the other end to the fan making sure the fan is sucking through the filter.
Then part of the ducting to the other side of the fan and poke it to out a window or some other extraction point.
Make sure its blowing out the right way.
Make sure the jubilee clips are tight around all fittings and if needed tape it up further to make sure everything is sealed.
 
I was always told to move the fan closest to the filter to get the most life out of it. Not sure why, just what I was told.
 
Thanks, only question I have is, how do I install this?

blue is neutral, green is ground, brown is hot. the wide prong on the plug is neutral, if you need one. you can buy an extension cord and cut the female end off of it, and won't need to buy a plug then.

i can't read it in the picture, but it looks like the white plastic block terminals are marked
 
who manufactured your fan? they should have included instructions. if they didn't maybe their website will have some.

the small plastic blocks you screw into aren't labeled at all?
 
get some hose clamps and clamp your ducting to the fan, not rocket science. the appropriate sized ducting should just slip on either side of the fan, clamp it on and your good to go
 
your filter should go in a high spot in your tent/room, as far from an air intake as possible. hook ducting to your filter, and run it to your light fixture.
run ducting from the other side of your light hood, to your fan, so the fan is PULLING through the filter and hood. then hook ducting from the other side of your fan to your exhaust port. hose clamps sometimes don't seal that well, so i like to put a strip of duct tape or gorilla tape on each join, just to make sure its not leaking. if it's sucking air through a joint, thats just cutting down its efficiency, and going past the filter so the smell isn't removed.

when it comes to filters, or in general ? i always "pushed" through my cooltube instead of "pulling" to keep the hot air from wearing out the fan. i ran a td silent 160 fan.

the "hot" air is maybe 150 degrees, which should be way below the heat tolerance of any decent exhaust fan. they are a LOT more efficient pulling that pushing, in any application. look how the professionals install things in heat/ac applications, it may seem like your AC is blowing, but that fan is the last link in the chain, its sucking air in from the outside and pulling it through the exchanger, then exhausting it into the room
