SmartFan Cirrus is a compact, microprocessor based interface designed for the electronics, industrial and HVAC control markets. Most fan manufacturers offer DC fans with built-in speed control based on a PWM or voltage control input. Cirrus offers an off-the-shelf, user programmable interface for these fans.
Cirrus can control the speed of, and monitor tachometer pulses from, one or two DC fans (24 or 48V) used in applications including: files servers, ATE products, storage subsystems, medical devices, telecommunications equipment and HVAC systems.
Cirrus regulates fan speed from a control signal (0-20mA, 0-10V DC), remote transducer or thermistor.
Alarm outputs are provided for over temperature, loss of control signal and failed fan conditions.
Onboard programming, three mounting and connection configurations, including DIN rail mount and "4x4 job box" mount, make this design extremely flexible and economical.
Pricing ranges from $35 to $55, depending on volume and configuration.
Benefits of using SmartFan include acoustic noise reduction, environmental (humidity, temperature, pressure or flow) regulation, greater system reliability, increased fan life, improved safety and energy savings.
