MANUAL INDEX

CABINET COOLING GUIDE

INTAKE AND EXHAUST

All cabinet fan systems should contain an intake and an exhaust variable, which can either be fans or ventilation holes. This is required to balance the static pressures between the inside and outside of the cabinet.

Diagram Description: A diagram illustrating a cabinet with arrows indicating airflow entering through vents/fans (intake) and exiting through vents/fans (exhaust).

FAN POSITIONING

Due to natural convection, warmer air which is less dense than colder air will rise on its own. It is ideal to position fans near the top of the cabinet configured to exhaust out the warmer air and position fans near the bottom to push in colder air.

Diagram Description: A diagram showing a cabinet with fans positioned at the top to exhaust warm air upwards and fans at the bottom to draw in cooler air. Arrows depict the natural convection flow.

CFM REQUIREMENTS

A fan or set of fan's CFM rating measures the rate at which air flows into a space. To obtain the required CFM rating, divide the dimensions of a cabinet by 1728 to get the cubic feet area then multiply by three to account for various real world variables.

SIZE OF CABINET: L x W x H (inches)

Calculation example: 1728 cubic inches / 1728 = 1 cubic foot. 1 cubic foot * 3 = 3 CFM required.

KEY FEATURES

CHANGING FAN DIRECTION

  1. STEP 1

    The fans are currently drawing the air out of the metal plate. To have the fans blow air into the cabinet, use a Phillips screwdriver to remove all the screws from the front and backside of the unit. Once completed, you should have an aluminum fan and plastic cover. Each fan will have eight screws, one grill, and one fan guard per fan.

  2. STEP 2

    Identify the direction of the fans airflow, which is towards the black label at the center of the fan. Then position the path of the fan's power cord so that it will run towards the black label. Be prepared to slip the cord through the plastic cover's cord gap.

    Diagram Description: Hand holding a fan unit, showing the black label on the motor and the path for the power cord.

  3. STEP 3

    Position the fan guard on the side of the fan that has the black label. Screw the plastic cover onto the fans with the fan guard in between. Please make sure the fan's power cord slips through the cord gap on the plastic cover.

    Diagram Description: Fan unit with fan guard being attached to the plastic cover, showing the cord passing through a gap.

  4. STEP 4

    Lastly, position the grill on the opposite side which does not contain a black label, for each fan. Then use a Phillips screwdriver to secure the aluminum frame back onto the fans with the grill in between.

    Diagram Description: Exploded view of fan assembly showing the grille, fan, and aluminum frame being reassembled.

MOUNTING

  1. STEP 1

    Determine where you wish to mount the fan and controller unit (if purchased) on your cabinet or wall. Position the stencils and apply tape to the outer edges.

    Diagram Description: Hands holding a stencil against a surface, with tape applied to the edges.

  2. STEP 2

    Use a pencil to outline the center square and four outer screw holes on the fan and thermo controller's stencils (if purchased). Check for accuracy before proceeding to the next step.

    Diagram Description: A stencil on a surface being traced with a pencil, showing the outline of a square and screw holes.

  3. STEP 3

    Remove the plastic stencil and tape. If you prefer machine screws instead of wood screws to mount the fan and controller, use a power drill to create four screw holes. The Recommended drill bit size is 10/64" to 14/64".

    Diagram Description: A power drill creating holes in a surface, indicated by dashed lines from the stencil markings.

  4. STEP 4

    Using a saw, cut out the center piece as outlined by your markings from step one. You may need to first drill a hole at each of the corners to fit your saw through. A power jigsaw may be preferred for thicker wood.

    Diagram Description: A jigsaw cutting along the marked lines of the center square.

  5. STEP 5

    Place the fan unit into the newly cut square so that each screw hole is properly aligned. Please make sure the cut center hole is large enough that the plastic backside of the fan does not come into contact with the cabinet. This is to minimize vibrations which cause noise.

    Diagram Description: A fan unit being fitted into the cut opening in a cabinet, with arrows indicating alignment.

  6. STEP 6

    Using the four machine screws, secure the fan unit's frame onto the cabinet or wall. Push each screw through their corresponding hole located on the frame and wall. The included wood screws can also be used instead. Tighten the nuts on the other side.

    Diagram Description: Fan unit mounted, showing screws passing through the frame and into the cabinet, with nuts on the other side.

POWERING

S-SERIES

You can power the fan unit by plugging the unit's USB male connector into a standard USB port, or plugging the USB male connector into the included power adapter through an outlet. Then plugging the adapter into an outlet.

Diagram Description: Illustration showing a USB cable connecting to a USB port on a device, and another illustration showing a USB power adapter being plugged into an outlet.

T-SERIES

Plug the fan unit's USB plug into the USB port located on the back of the thermal control unit. Then plug the wall adapter's male connector into the thermal controller's power plug, also located on the back. Lastly, plug the power adapter into an outlet.

Diagram Description: Illustration showing a USB cable connecting from a fan unit to a thermal controller, and a power adapter connecting to the thermal controller and then to an outlet.

CONNECTING MORE FANS

Each fan unit includes an USB port that enables you to connect an additional fan. Up to four fans can share the same USB port, and up to six fans can share the same power outlet. Please see page 16 for limitations.

T-SERIES CONTROLLER

Thermal controllers can control up to six fans. Some models may contain more than one fan. For example, AIRPLATE S7 contains two fans and AIRPLATE S9 contains three fans. Fan units connected to the thermal controller will share the same speed and temperature settings. If the fans contain an inline speed controller, please make sure their speed is set on high.

Diagram Description: Two diagrams showing multiple fan units connected in series (daisy-chained) to AC Infinity controllers.

S-SERIES CONTROLLER

SPEED CONTROLLER

The speed controller located on the cord allows you to adjust the fan's speed from off to low, medium, and high. Any fans that are daisy chained will also have their speed changed. All setups with more than four daisy-chained fans must have their inline speed controller set to high to prevent overloading the speed controller, e.g. two AIRPLATE S9 units daisy-chained together must have their speeds set to high. Please note that AIRPLATE S3/T3 contains one fan, AIRPLATE S7/T7 contains two fans, and AIRPLATE S9/T9 contains three fans.

Diagram Description: A speed controller with settings labeled H (High), M (Medium), L (Low), and O (Off).

TURBO BOOST ADAPTER

The Boost Adapter is designed to maximize the performance of our fans. Using the adapter will increase the fan's speed by up to 25%. If the higher speed is too loud for your application, use the speed controller to reduce the noise level.

Diagram Description: An illustration of the Turbo Boost Adapter.

DISPLAY READOUTS

MODES

QUICK START

Press the MODE button until you are on AUTO mode. This mode works like a thermostat. Then press the up and down triangle buttons to change the SETTING temperature on the screen. The PROBE temperature is what the thermal probe is measuring. When the PROBE temperature exceeds the SETTING temperature, the fans will start running.

ON MODE

In this mode, the fans will run non-stop regardless of temperature. Pressing the up and down buttons while in this mode will change the speed of the fan. Whichever speed is designated in this mode will also be the speed used in AUTO Mode and the max speed of the fans in SMART Mode.

Diagram Description: Controller display showing "ON" mode, with SETTING, ALARM, and PROBE temperatures, and fan speed indicators.

AUTO MODE

This is the thermostat setting where the fans will start running when the PROBE temperature reaches or surpasses the SETTING temperature. The SETTING temperature can be designated by pressing the up and down buttons while in this mode. Once the fans start running, the PROBE temperature would need to fall at least 4°F below the SETTING temp for the fans to stop running. This variation buffer can be changed to 2°F. See page 21 for more information.

Diagram Description: Controller display showing "AUTO" mode, with SETTING, ALARM, and PROBE temperatures, and fan speed indicators.

OFF MODE

In this mode, the fans are powered off regardless of set temperature or set speed. The backlight setting can be increased or decreased by pressing the up or down buttons while in this mode. If the first and the third brightness bar light up and the device is left unattended for 30 seconds, the display will automatically dim its brightness back to the dimmest setting.

Diagram Description: Controller display showing "OFF" mode, with SETTING, ALARM, and PROBE temperatures, and fan speed indicators.

SMART MODE

This is the energy saving mode where the fans will change speed depending on the temperature. The SETTING temperature can be designated by pressing the up and down triangle buttons while in this mode. For every 4°F increment that the PROBE temperature is below the SETTING temperature, the speed of the fans will decrease by one level. This increment can be changed to 2°F; please see page 21 for more information. The fan speed you designated in ON Mode will also be the max speed the fan's can reach. This occurs when the PROBE temperature reaches or exceeds the SETTING temperature.

Diagram Description: Controller display showing "SMART" mode, with SETTING, ALARM, and PROBE temperatures, and fan speed indicators.

ALARM SETTING

In this mode, you can set what temperature the system's alarm will trigger by pressing the up and down triangle buttons. When the PROBE temperature reaches or exceeds the ALARM temperature, the alarm will activate. The alarm will only activate while the controller is in ON, AUTO, or SMART Mode so please remember to exit ALARM Mode once the alarm has been set. When the alarm is triggered, the fan's will run at max speed regardless of mode and will make an audible beep every three seconds. This will keep occurring until the temperature drops below the ALARM temp or if any buttons are pressed. The alarm can be disabled by pressing the triangle button until the ALARM temp says "OFF".

Diagram Description: Controller display showing "ALARM" mode, with SETTING, ALARM, and PROBE temperatures, and alert icons.

OTHER SETTINGS

FAHRENHEIT OR CELSIUS

The temperatures displayed can be set to Fahrenheit or Celsius scale by holding the LEAF button until °F or °C is shown after the digits. All digits displayed will be automatically converted to the designated scale. (For Controller 8, hold the ZONE CHANGE button instead.)

VARIATION BUFFER

In AUTO mode, a buffer is built in to prevent your fan from turning on and off too quickly due to small variations in the environment. When the PROBE temperature exceeds your SETTING temperature, the fan will start running immediately. However, the PROBE temperature will need to fall below your SETTING temperature by 4° Fahrenheit or 2° Celsius or more, to stop the fans from running. In SMART mode, the speed of the fan will decrease by one level for every 4° Fahrenheit or 2° Celsius that the PROBE temperature is below the SETTING temperature. To change this buffer or increment setting to 2° Fahrenheit or 1° Celsius, hold the MODE button and DOWN button together for three seconds. To change back to 4° Fahrenheit or 2° Celsius, hold the MODE button and UP button together for three seconds.

CONTROLLER LOCK

Holding the MODE button for three or more seconds will lock the controller. The controller will still work as programmed; however, pressing any buttons will not have an effect and will cause the screen lock icon to flash. This option was designed to prevent your controller settings from being changed by accident. Holding the MODE button again for three or more seconds will unlock the controller.

T-SERIES CONTROLLER ALERTS

On the top right of the display there are two alert icons. They are visible to show that the system's functions are being monitored. They will flash when the controller wishes to alert you that a particular function is being triggered.

Diagram Description: Controller display showing SETTING, ALARM, and PROBE temperatures, fan speed, and alert icons.

ALARM ALERT

The alarm alert icon will flash when the probe temperature reaches or exceeds the alarm temperature you have set. Please see page 20 for more information on setting up the alarm.

DISPLAY LOCK ALERT

This icon is not visible when the controller is unlocked. The icon will flash when any buttons are pressed while the controller is locked. Please see page 21 for more information on locking the display.

MULTIZONE CONTROLLER CONTROLLER 8

MULTIZONE CONTROLLER

The Multizone controller enables you to control cooling fans in four different zones with independent programming settings for each zone. Pressing the zone change button will cycle through these zones as shown by A, B, C, and D icons on the LCD display. On the back side of the controller, there will be one probe and fan port underneath each corresponding A, B, C, and D designation.

Diagram Description: A Multizone Controller display showing zone A selected, with SETTING, ALARM, and PROBE temperatures, and fan speed indicators. A separate diagram shows the back of the controller with labeled ports for Sensor, Fans, Label, and Power, corresponding to zones A, B, C, D.

PROGRAMMING MODES

For every zone, you may press the MODE button to cycle through the programming modes: Auto, Smart, On, Off, and Alarm. The modes work the same way as the standard controller and each zone can have its own custom mode settings. Please refer to pages 17 to 22 for programming instructions but with the differences listed below.
