Duct Fan Instructions

Installation Instructions

• Step 1:
  Unscrew the annular threaded nail of the duct fan.

• Step 2:
  Remove the power supply chassis from the rack.

• Step 3:
  Use the mounting holes of the flange bracket to mark the position to be mounted. (Pay attention to the direction of intake/exhaust during installation, referring to the instructions for intake/ exhaust.)

• Step 4:
  Drill four holes at the marked locations. Make sure the installation area is well-constructed and free of obstructions.

• Step 5:
  If you need plastic expansion tubes, insert the included 4 expansion tubes into the drilled holes and fix them in the holes with a hammer.

• Step 6:
  Align the hole of the flange bracket with the wall anchor, and use a screwdriver or drill to insert the four screws to fix the flange bracket. Make sure the airflow arrow points in the desired direction.

• Step 7:

• Put the wind circle back on the intake flange and reposition the flange on the appropriate metal clips.

• Step 8:
  Move the power supply chassis back onto the flange bracket, making sure that the bulging part of the power supply chassis is installed in the direction of the flange bracket arrow. Use a Phillips screwdriver and pliers to tighten the metal clips and secure the power supply chassis.

• Step 9:
  Put the metal ring back onto the flange and tighten the screws to fix the fan.

• Step 10:
  When installing the duct, use the included duct clamps to secure it to either end of the duct fan, making sure it is tightly sealed. Use a flat-head screwdriver to tighten the duct clamps.

• Step 11 A:
  Hang Up—— If using a rope bridge (not included) for installation, wrap the rope around the flange and tighten the rope to secure the fan.

• Step 11 B:
  Hang Down You can also wrap the rope around the fan mounting plate to hang the fan. Tighten the rope to secure the fan and make sure the fan airflow arrow points in the desired direction.

Intake & Exhaust

This duct fan can be used as an intake machine or exhaust machine in greenhouses and large grow tents. For optimal ventilation of the space, intake fans or openings (without fans) must be placed in the bottom corners of the growing space, and exhaust fans must be hung (as shown below) or mounted in the corresponding highest corners. Make sure the airflow arrow of the intake fan points toward the growing space and the arrow of the exhaust fan points away from the growing space.

Controller Power Up and Setting

• Step 1:
  Mark the locations to be mounted with the mounting holes on the controller. Pay attention to the fan power cable length and the probe length.

• Step 2:
  Drill 2 holes at the marked locations.

• Step 3:
  If you need plastic expansion tubes, insert the included 2 expansion tubes into the drilled holes and fix them in the holes with a hammer.

• Step 4:
  Align the mounting holes on the controller with the wall anchor, and insert the two screws with a screwdriver or drill.

• Step 5:
  You can organize your cables using the included tie bracket, screws, and cable ties. Use screws to secure the cable tie to the surface. Wrap the cable tie around the rope and put it into the tie bracket.

• Step 6:
  Insert the probe of the duct fan into the WORK1/WORK2 port of the controller.

• Step 7:
  Insert the temperature and humidity sensor probe into the P1/P2 port of the controller. Then, place the probe near the plant in the grow tent for the most accurate reading.

• Step 8:
  Finally, plug the fan power cable into the power socket.

Add More Fans

This smart controller can control two fans simultaneously. Insert the two fans into the WORK1 and WORK 2 ports separately, as shown below:

Dual Connection

Cleaning & Maintenance

• Step 1:
  Remove the power supply chassis from the flange. (See steps 1 and 2 in the installation instructions on how to remove the power supply chassis.)

• Step 2:
  Use a wet cloth to remove dust and debris from the wind circle and fan blades.

• Step 3:
  Remove dust and debris from the other side of the stator blade and clean the inner areas of the intake and exhaust flanges.

• Step 4:
  See steps 7 to 9 in the installation instructions to secure the power supply chassis on the flange.
