SmartFan Multi SD Fan Speed Control for Telecom Cooling
SmartFan Multi SD Fan Speed Control for Telecom CoolingOperation/Installation Manual
SmartFan Multi SD fan speed control and temperature alarm is designed for telecom cooling applications. Multi SD accepts and diode ORs dual power feeds in the range from 10 to 75 VDC. This telecom cooling solution can control 12, 24 or 48 VDC fans and operates at a high frequency to achieve maximum power efficiency. Fan speed control is based on temperature from up to three sensors and is applied using a common mode buck control circuit.
Multi SD is supplied with an optically isolated temperature alarm that is triggered if any sensor temperature reaches 10°C above the control temperature or if telecom cooling system power is lost.
In addition to the standard line of SmartFan fan speed control and alarm products, Control Resources also offers custom fan speed control design and manufacturing services to provide you with the optimum telecom cooling solution for your fan speed control applications.
