There is a really effective but hokey way to solve this, too -- Home Depot, out here, has a mercury-switch thermostat for about ten dollars that has a cooling switch as well as a heating switch.

I put one of these in a box that was really too small for the Mits XD300 running in it. I had to rotate it off level to get it to turn on at about 120 degrees, so proximity to the un-AC'd attic air would not start it on a hot day, but it would still work to cool the projector. It runs for about ten minutes after the projector turns off.

Meanwhile, the 12 volts comes from a wall wart, and nobody triggers nuthin nohow.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
