3. Installation
The AIRPLATE T7 system is designed for easy installation, offering flexibility for various cabinet setups. It can be mounted directly into a cabinet opening or placed on a shelf to circulate air. Installation templates are provided to assist with precise cutting if flush mounting is desired.
For optimal cooling, consider the airflow direction. Fans can be configured to exhaust hot air out of the cabinet or draw cool air in. The long cabling for the fans and temperature probe allows for flexible placement of components within or around your cabinet.

7. Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your AIRPLATE T7 system, regular maintenance is recommended:
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the fan grilles and blades to prevent dust buildup, which can impede airflow and increase noise. Use a soft brush or compressed air.
- Cable Management: Ensure all cables are neatly routed and not obstructing fan operation or airflow.
- Temperature Probe: Keep the temperature probe free from obstructions and positioned to accurately measure the internal cabinet temperature.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your AIRPLATE T7 system, consider the following:
- Fans Not Spinning: Check if the power adapter is securely connected and the controller is powered on. Verify the operating mode; in 'Auto' or 'Smart' mode, fans will only activate when the temperature threshold is met.
- Insufficient Cooling: Ensure proper airflow by checking for obstructions around the fan unit and within the cabinet. Confirm the fan direction is appropriate for your setup (intake or exhaust). Adjust fan speed settings if necessary.
- Inaccurate Temperature Readings: Ensure the temperature probe is correctly positioned and not directly exposed to heat sources or cold drafts that do not reflect the overall cabinet temperature.
- Unusual Noise: Check for any loose components or debris obstructing the fan blades. Ensure the fan unit is securely mounted to minimize vibrations.
