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 room.
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 room configured to exhaust out the warmer air and position fans near the lower part of the room to push in colder air.
CFM REQUIREMENTS
A fan or set of fan’s CFM rating measures
the rate at which air flows in of 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.

INSTALLATION
STEP 1
Determine where you wish to mount the cooling fan unit onto your door or wall. Position the stencils and apply tape to the outer edges.
STEP 2
Use a pencil to outline the center square and four outer screw holes on the one stencil. Check for accuracy before proceeding to the next step.
9
INSTALLATION
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. Recommended drill bit size around 16/64”.
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.
10
INSTALLATION
STEP 5
Place the fan unit into the newly cut square so that each screw hole is properly aligned. Please make sure that 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 will can cause noise.
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.
11
INSTALLATION
STEP 7
After mounting the fan unit onto a door or wall, locate the filter piece. If it has not yet been installed, align and insert the filter piece into the docking holes located on the backside of the fan unit.
STEP 8
Push the filter piece against the back of the fan unit to click it into position. Please note that using the detachable filter will reduce air performance of the cooling fan unit.
12
INSTALLATION
STEP 9
To power the fan unit, locate the corded wall adapter. Plug the
adapter’s connector into the port
marked “POWER” located on the backside of the fan unit.
13
STEP 10
Plug the adapter head into a standard outlet or power strip.and check to see if the fan's unit screen is on. You may need to press the leaf button if the unit was previously set to ECO Mode.
14
INSTALLATION
STEP 11
To set up temperature readings, locate the corded thermal probe.
Plug the probe’s connector into
the port marked “PROBE” located on the backside of the fan unit.
STEP 12
After plugging in the probe, check the
fan unit’s screen to see that there is
now a temperature reading. Position the thermal probe near your devices with the highest temperatures.
15
FILTER MAINTENANCE
STEP 1
To detach the filter piece, pull on its lever to release it from the backside of the fan unit. The filter should be cleaned periodically to avoid decreasing
the fan’s airflow performance.
STEP 2
Rinse the filter piece with running water or wipe it down with a damp cloth to remove dust and other particles.
FILTER MAINTENANCE
STEP 3
Wipe down the filter piece thoroughly with a cloth and leave it out to dry. The filter piece should be completely dry before reattaching it to the fan unit.
STEP 4
Lastly, push the filter piece against the back of the fan unit to put it back into position.

FAN EXTENSIONS
S-series fan units connected to the T-series will share the same fan speed and temperature trigger settings. For example, an AIRFRAME T7 exhaust system can control an AIRFRAME S7-N system for intake. If the S-series fan contains an inline speed controller, please make sure their speed is set on high.
CONNECTING MORE FANS
Each T-series fan unit includes a port marked “EXT.” on its backside that enables it to connect one S-series fan unit to share the same smart controls and power source.
PROGRAMMING

This turns the display off while programs run in the background. Holding will change degrees to Fahrenheit or Celsius.
4. SETTING TEMP.
Shows the temperature you set the fans to trigger in AUTO and SMART Mode.
5. ALARM TEMP.
Shows the temperature
that you set the fan’s
alarm system to trigger. Please see page 21 for more information.
6. PROBE TEMP.
Actively shows the current temperature that the probe is measuring.
7. FAN SPEED
Shows what speed the fans are currently running at. Six speeds are available.
8. BUFFER
The buffer range settings of AUTO and SMART Mode programming. Please see page 20 for more information.

PROGRAMMING
QUICK START
Press the MODE button until you are on AUTO mode. This mode works like a thermostat. 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.
SPEED SETTING
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.

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 will need to fall at least 4° F below the SETTING temp for the fans to stop running. This variation buffer can be changed. Please see page 20 for more information.

BUFFER SETTING
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. In SMART mode, there is a range of temperatures between each speed. You can increase or decrease this buffer or range by pressing the up and down buttons.

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, 6° F, or 8° F by adjusting the Buffer Setting instructed above.
The fan speed you designated in ON Mode will also be the max speed the fan can reach. This occurs when the PROBE temperature reaches or exceeds the SETTING temperature.

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 fans will run at max speed regardless of the setting 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 up triangle button until the temperature is at 140° F, then pressing the up button once more to show “OF”.
