Product Features
High-Temperature Resistance
The X-48ATR is engineered to operate effectively in environments with temperatures up to 180°F (80°C), making it ideal for remediation sites, flooded areas, and locations exposed to heating elements.
Sealed Motor
Equipped with a 1/3 HP sealed motor, the fan is protected against water damage, ensuring reliable operation in damp or wet conditions, crucial for water restoration tasks.
Powerful & Energy-Efficient Airflow
Delivers 3600 CFM of airflow with a low 2.4 amp draw. The fan can project air up to 60 feet, providing efficient circulation while conserving energy.
Built-in Power Outlets
Features integrated power outlets, allowing you to daisy-chain up to six additional units for expanded coverage or to power other devices.
Versatile Positioning & Storage
Includes variable speed control, a 360-degree rotational rack/stand for flexible positioning, and a stackable design for easy storage. A 20-ft power cord with wrap-around storage is also included.
Setup
The XPOWER X-48ATR Axial Fan is designed for quick and easy setup.
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the fan from its packaging. Inspect the unit for any signs of damage during transit.
- Placement: Place the fan on a firm, level surface. Ensure there is adequate clearance around the fan for optimal airflow and to prevent obstruction of the intake or exhaust.
- Positioning: Utilize the 360-degree rotational rack/stand to direct airflow as needed. The fan can be positioned flat, angled, or upright.
- Power Connection: Unwind the 20-ft power cord from its wrap-around storage. Plug the fan into a standard 120V AC power outlet.

Operating Instructions
- Power On/Off: Locate the power switch on the control panel. Turn the switch to the "ON" position to start the fan and "OFF" to stop it.
- Adjusting Speed: Use the variable speed control knob to adjust the airflow intensity. Turn the knob clockwise to increase speed and counter-clockwise to decrease speed.
- Daisy-Chaining Units: For larger areas or increased airflow, multiple X-48ATR units can be daisy-chained. Plug the power cord of a second unit into one of the built-in power outlets on the first unit. Up to six units can be connected in this manner. Ensure the total amperage draw does not exceed the circuit's capacity.
- Optimizing Airflow:
- Direct Drying: Point the fan directly at the area requiring drying or ventilation.
- Air Recirculation: For general air circulation and gentle drying, position the fan to create a circular airflow pattern within the room.
- Wall Bouncing: In smaller rooms, position the fan to bounce air off walls to ensure air reaches all corners.
- Downward Drying: Utilize the 360-degree stand to point the fan downwards for drying floors or areas directly beneath the unit.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your XPOWER X-48ATR Axial Fan. Always unplug the unit before performing any maintenance.
- Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces of the fan with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Grille: Periodically inspect the intake and exhaust grilles for dust, debris, or obstructions. Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment or a soft brush to remove any buildup.
- Cord Storage: When not in use, wrap the power cord neatly around the designated storage area on the fan to prevent tangling and damage.
- Storage: Store the fan in a cool, dry place. The stackable design allows for efficient storage of multiple units.
