RACK COOLING GUIDE
ACCESS TO OUTSIDE AIRFLOW
For the fan system to work properly, the
rack fan must have access to outside air.
It can be ventilation holes on the rack
or on the cabinet if it’s holding an open
frame rack. The holes allow the rack fan
to exhaust warm air and intake cool air.
INTAKE AND EXHAUST
All rack fan systems should contain an
intake and exhaust variable. To assist
with natural convection, position fans
near the top of the rack configured to
exhaust out the warm air and fans near
the bottom to push in cool air.
OPTIMIZING AIRFLOW
To optimize airflow circulation, we recommend using blank panels to fill the empty
spaces on the rack. This increases the
efficiency of the fan systems by preventing
warm air from escaping midway and being
recycled back into the rack.

INSTALLATION
STEP 1
Determine the position you wish to mount
the rack fan unit onto your rack. Please
refer to page 6 for a guide on the best fan
placement to optimize cooling.
STEP 2
Use a screwdriver and the included
screws to secure the fan unit onto
your rack. Depending on the rack rail
type, you may need to install cage
nuts first. Please note that some rack
rails may come pre-threaded with
another screw size.

INSTALLATION
STEP 3
Check the included AC power adapter
to make sure the power rating is
compatible with your outlet. Plug the
DC connector of the AC power adapter
into the port labeled “POWER” on the
backside of the rack fan unit.
STEP 4
Plug the AC power adapter into
a standard power outlet. Please
check that the LCD screen is now
displaying all contents and that
the settings can be changed. The
probe’s temperature readings will
not yet be visible.
10
INSTALLATION
STEP 5
Plug the male connector of the
thermal probe into the port labeled
“PROBE” on the backside of the
rack fan unit. Please check that
the LCD screen now displays
the probe’s temperature readings.
STEP 6
Secure the head of the probe onto the
rack using the included cable ties. We
recommend positioning the probe near
your hottest equipment and away from
any fans that can distort the probe’s
temperature readings.

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
in this mode will change the speed of the fan.
Which ever 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 2° F
below the SETTING temp for the fans to stop
running. This variation buffer can be changed.
Please see page 15 for more information.

PROGRAMMING
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 2° 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 4° 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’s can reach. This
occurs when the PROBE temperature reaches
or exceeds the SETTING temperature.

EXTENSION FAN UNITS
CLOUDPLATE SERIES
To add more cooling and ventilation to your rack, you can plug in additional fans such as the
RACK ROOF FAN into a CLOUDPLATE Series unit. There is a port on the backside marked
“EXT.” which allows the unit to support additional fans. You can also connect one CLOUDPLATE unit to another to share the same settings; a daisy chain cord is required. The conn-
cted CLOUDPLATE unit must be set to SPEED Settings Mode, it’s speed set to max, and
the alarm turned off. Connected fans will share the same temperature control settings.
EXT. Ports
CONTROLLER 12
The Controller 12 can also control CLOUDPLATE Series fan units and RACK ROOF
FANS in the exact same way as described above. In addition, it can also control
AIRPLATE Series cabinet fans and MULTIFAN Series component USB fans. On
the backside, plug USB fans into ports marked “5V DC” to share the same
temperature settings. Connected USB fans must have their speed set to max if they
feature an inline speed controller.
