PRODUCT REQUIREMENTS
The AIRCOM series is designed to cool various AV components by accelerating the intake of cool air and outtake of heat. Please make sure that the following requirements are met to ensure the cooling system will work effectively.
FULLY ENCLOSED CABINETS
The cooling system is not compatible with fully enclosed cabinets. Air must be able to travel in and out of the cabinet. Please make sure that your cabinet has ventilation holes or is open at the front or back.
REAR EXHAUST MODELS
For models containing blowers, AIRCOM S6, S8, and T8, the cabinet’s ventilation holes should be at the rear. The hot air that the cooling system is exhausting should be directed out of the cabinet through its rear holes.

PROGRAMMING
AIRCOM T8 T9 T10
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.
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 18 for more information.

PROGRAMMING
AIRCOM T8 T9 T10
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.
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 18 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.
16
PROGRAMMING
AIRCOM T8 T9 T10
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 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 to not trigger by pressing the up triangle button until the temperature is at 140° F, then pressing the up button once more to show “OF”.
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.

PROGRAMMING
AIRCOM T8 T9 T10
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.
CONNECTING MORE FANS
On the backside of the AIRCOM T8, T9, and T10 models, there are two USB ports. Up to six MULTIFAN or AIRPLATE fans can be plugged into it to share the same programming. A model can contain more than one fan. For example, an AIRPLATE S7 contains two fans so only three AIRPLATE S7s are supported. Before daisy chain one more fan, please make sure the previous fan speed is set on High speed. Please see page 20 for more information.

ALERT ICONS
On the bottom right of the display there are three 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.
CHECK FAN ALERT
The check fan icon will flash when the fan’s sensor detects interference to its operation. Please check the fan for possible issues. If the fan is rotating, it may just be static pressure resistance and operating as intended. If the fan is not rotating, please see the warranty page for replacement information.
ALARM ALERT
The alarm alert icon will flash when the probe temperature reaches or exceeds the alarm temperature you have set. Please see page 17 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. To lock or unlock the controller, hold down the MODE button for three or more seconds.
