FAN UNIT
MOUNTING
STEP 1
When installing in a large room like a greenhouse, barn, or garage, it is
recommended that the shutter fan should be mounted on the opposite side of any
ventilation openings for better air circulation. The fan should also be
positioned higher in the room to exhaust out heated air, which will rise on
its own due to natural convection.
STEP 2
Measure the dimensions of the shutter fan’s mounting frame which will go
through the wall. Select a location on the wall where you will be mounting the
fan. Please make sure that the wall is free of any wires or pipes. Using the
measurements of the shutter fan, use a level and ruler to draw an outline of
the area to be drilled and cut.
STEP 3
Depending on your mounting surface material, use the appropriate tools to cut
into the wall. Use a drill or a hand saw to create an opening large enough to
insert a saw blade or jigsaw inside the outlined area of the wall panel.
STEP 4
Position the shutter fan through the hole cut in step 3. Use it to measure the
positioning of the mounting screws then remove the fan unit. Then using a
drill bit, create the four mounting holes.
STEP 5
From inside the room, position the shutter fan back into the opening of the
fan. Make sure the controller connectors and power cord is on the inside of
the room. Then, use the included hardware to secure the fan.
If you are using your own shutter, remove the AIRLIFT’s shutter by unscrewing
the nuts and bolts from the fan guard. Reassemble the fan guard onto your
existing shutter by reapplying the nuts and bolts in the same mounting
locations.
STEP 6
Once the fan is mounted securely you can then mount the controller using the
included hardware. Place the controller near the fan in order to power the
controller.
POWERING
STEP 1
Locate the connector plug of the sensor probe and plug it into the bottom of
the thermal controller.
STEP 2
Secure the sensor probe head nearby, preferably in the hottest area of the
room. You can use the wire tie to secure the probe away from the fan blades.
STEP 3
Connect the Molex end from the fan to the bottom of the controller. 
STEP 4
Lastly, to power the fan and the controller, plug the fan’s power cord into an
AC power outlet.
DAISY CHAIN AND SETUP
The fan controller can power up to two compatible fans to share the same
programming.
The controller included is compatible with AC Infinity fan models that contain
an EC motor. Typically, EC-motor fans will have a separate cord coming out of
it for the power and the controller. The compatible fans do not need to be the
same model or part of the same product series. 
PROGRAMMING
FAN SPEED ADJUSTING
The controller features a single button that controls the fan speed from 0-8.
Pressing the speed button increases the fan speed in one unit increments.
Pressing the button at the 8 settings will set the fan speed back to 0.
POWERING ON AND OFF
Holding the speed button for 4 seconds will turn the fan OFF. Pressing it
again from OFF will turn the fan ON at its last speed setting.
