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.
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.
CFM REQUIREMENTS
A fan or set of fans 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.

CHANGING FAN DIRECTION
STEP 1
The fans are currently drawing the air out of the metal plate. To have the fans blow air into the cabinet, use philips screw driver to remove all the screws from the front and backside of the unit. Once completed, you should have a aluminum fan and plastic cover. Each fan will have eight screws, one grill, and one fan guard per fan.
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.
9
CHANGING FAN DIRECTION
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.
STEP 4
Lastly, position the grill on the opposite side which does not contain a black label, for each fan. Then use a Phillips screw driver to secure the aluminum frame back onto the fans with the grill in between.
10
MOUNTING
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.
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.
11
MOUNTING
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”.
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.
12
MOUNTING
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.
13
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.
POWERING
S-SERIES
You ca n p owe r t he fa n u n it 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.
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.

CONNECTING MORE FANS
Each fan unit includes an USB port that enables you to connect an additonal fan. Up to four fans can share the same USB port, and up to six fans can share the same power outlet.
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.

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. Please make sure that the additional fans have their speed set on high.
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.

T-SERIES CONTROLLER
PROGRAMMING
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 21 for more information.

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.
