Thermostatic Fan Controller
Instruction Sheet
I-00104 Rev J
NOTE: Affix enclosed warning stickers to fans that are to be controlled by FC Series thermostatic fan
controller.
Function: Fan control module varies fan speed based upon temperature to increase fan life while
decreasing noise & power consumption.
Status LEDs:
AUTO: Illuminated whenever switch is in the "AUTO" position.
ON: Illuminated whenever fan is operating. The LED will "blink" in proportion to fan speed, from
2 blinks per second to constant.
Mode Settings: Disconnect power by removing plug before removing cover (See warning above)
Mode 1: Fan speed proportional to temperature (factory set)
Mode 2: “Complete On” (On or Off, not proportional). (See Figure A)
This mode is selected by removing pluggable jumper (JP2) on the circuit
board. To access jumper on circuit board 2 screws on face of unit must be
removed.
1) To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect power before servicing.
Switch does not disconnect power, disconnect source before removing cover.
2) To be used indoors in dry location only.
3) IF BACK-UP POWER IS SUPPLIED BY A UPS: A UPS with a ”modified square wave” or
other ”simulated sine wave” output could potentially damage this device and or the fans it controls.
A UPS with a ”pure sine wave” output is required.
AVERTISSEMENT
1) Afin de réduire le risque de chocs éléctriques, veuillez débrancher du réseau avant la maintenance.
Le commutateur ne débranche pas du réseau, veuillez débrancher la source avant d'enlever le
couvercle.
2) Uniquement pour l'utilisation dans des endroits secs.
3) Si l’alimentation de secours est effectuée par une UPS: Une UPS qui n’utilise pas un signal de
sortie Sinus pur peut endommager ou détruire cet appareil ou les ventilateurs branchés. L’utilisation
d’une UPS avec un signal de sortie Sinus pur est obligatoire.
DIE VERWARNUNG
1) Zur Vermeidung des Risikos von Stromschlägen, das Gerät vor Wartungsarbeiten stromlos setzen.
Ausschalten nimmt die Spannung nicht weg. Deshalb vor dem Öffnen des Gehäuses die Netzleitung
trennen.
2) Nur für die Verwendung in trockener Umgebung geeignet.
3) Wenn Notstromversorgung durch eine UPS erfolgt: Eine UPS, die nicht mit einem reinen
Sinus Ausgangssignal arbeitet, kann dieses Gerät oder die angeschlossenen Ventilatoren beschädigen
oder zerstören. Es muss eine UPS mit reinem Sinus Ausgangssignal verwendet werden.
ADVERTENCIA
1) Desconectar antes de hacerle servicio para reducir el riesgo de descarga eléctrica. Apagarlo no
desconecta la electricidad, desconecte la fuente antes de quitar la tapa.
2) Para ser usados solo en lugares secos.
3) Si Hay un respaldo de electricidad suministrado por un sistema ininterrumpido de electricidad:
Un Sistema Ininterrumpido de Electricidad con una “onda cuadrada modificada” u otra
“onda sinusoidal simulada” podría potencialmente dañar este artefacto y/o los ventiladores
o abanicos que este controla. Se requiere un UPS con una salida de “onda sinusoidal pura”.
SPECIFICATIONS:
