Nimbus-HP Datasheet

The SmartFan Nimbus-HP is a TRIAC based user programmable AC fan / AC motor speed control made for the OEM market.  The Nimbus-HP is designed to control any number of 1-phase induction motors with a total current rating less than 18 Amps.  The Nimbus-HP regulates motor speed from a 2-10VDC, 4-20mA control signal, transducer or up to three remote temperature sensors (sold separately). Control curves are customer programmable using on board DIP switches or can be customized at the factory for orders as low as 50 pieces. Typical applications include: humidity control, clean room pressurization, equipment cooling, heat exchangers, exhaust ventilators, pumps, duct fans & blowers.

CAUTION: The Nimbus-HP automatic AC fan controller / AC motor speed control is designed for original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and is not intended for end-user or after-market applications. The Nimbus-HP should only be used with TRIAC / voltage controllable induction motors (Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) or Shaded Pole). Attempting to control a fan or motor that is not compatible could cause excessive heating and/or permanent damage to the motor.  Refer to the AC Motor Compatibility page for more details.
