Note: These fans operate at 12 Volts. Verify your ESC's fan output voltage compatibility if using with a different device.

Operating Instructions

Once installed, the cooling fans will activate automatically when the ESC is powered on, providing forced air cooling to maintain optimal operating temperatures for your RX8 Gen2 ESC. The fans are designed for continuous operation during vehicle use.

• Airflow: Ensure that the fan blades are unobstructed to allow for maximum airflow. Proper airflow is crucial for effective cooling.
• Noise Level: The fans operate at a typical noise level of 30 Decibels. Any significant increase in noise may indicate an issue.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps prolong the life and efficiency of your cooling fans.

• Cleaning: Periodically inspect the fan blades and housing for dust, dirt, or debris accumulation. Use a soft brush or compressed air to gently clean the fans. Avoid using liquids or harsh chemicals.
• Inspection: Check the fan blades for any signs of damage, cracks, or bending. Damaged blades can lead to imbalance, increased noise, and reduced cooling performance.
• Wiring: Inspect the fan wiring for any fraying, cuts, or loose connections. Secure any loose connections immediately.
• Replacement: If a fan becomes excessively noisy, stops spinning, or has visibly damaged blades, it should be replaced to ensure proper ESC cooling.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Tekin cooling fans, refer to the following troubleshooting steps:

• Fan Not Spinning:
  • Check the power connection to the ESC. Ensure it is securely plugged in.
  • Verify that the ESC is powered on and functioning correctly.
  • Inspect for any obstructions preventing the blades from rotating.
  • If the fan still does not spin, it may be faulty and require replacement.
• Excessive Noise:
  • Check for debris caught in the fan blades.
  • Inspect blades for damage or imbalance.
  • Ensure the fan is securely mounted and not vibrating against other components.
