CABINET COOLING GUIDE INTAKE AND EXHAUST All cabinet fan systems should contain an intake and an exhaust variable, which can either be fans or ventilation holes. This is required to balance the static pressures between the inside and outside of the cabinet. FAN POSITIONING Due to natural convection, warmer air which is less dense than colder air will rise on its own.
KEY FEATURES ALUMINIUM FRAME Features an aluminium frame with a brushed black finish and CNC machined corners. PROTECTIVE BACK Fans are enclosed in a hard shell cover to prevent intrusions. SMART CONTROLLER (Sold separately or included if the T-SERIES was purchased) LCD display enables temp monitoring, thermal control, speed control, alarms, and SMART energy mode. AC INFINITY DUAL BALL BEARINGS Fans contain long-life ball bearings rated at 67,000 hours.

CHANGING FAN DIRECTION STEP 1 The fans are currently drawing the air out of the metal plate. To have the fans blow air into the cabinet, use philips screw driver to remove all the screws from the front and backside of the unit. Once completed, you should have an aluminum fan and plastic cover. Each fan will have eight screws, one grill, and one fan guard per fan. STEP 2 Identify the direction of the fans airflow, which is towards the black label at the center of the fan.
CHANGING FAN DIRECTION STEP 3 Position the fan guard on the side of the fan that has the black label. Screw the plastic cover onto the fans with the fan guard in between. Please make sure the fan’s power cord slips through the cord gap on the plastic cover. STEP 4 Lastly, position the grill on the opposite side which does not contain a black label, for each fan. Then use a Phillips screw driver to secure the aluminum frame back onto the fans with the grill in between.
MOUNTING STEP 1 Determine where you wish to mount the fan and controller unit (if purchased) on your cabinet or wall. Position the stencils and apply tape to the outer edges. STEP 2 Use a pencil to outline the center square and four outer screw holes on the fan and thermo controller's stencils (if purchased). Check for accuracy before proceeding to the next step.
MOUNTING STEP 3 Remove the plastic stencil and tape. If you prefer machine screws instead of wood screws to mount the fan and controller, use a power drill to create four screw holes. The Recommended drill bit size is 10/64” to 14/64”. STEP 4 Using a saw, cut out the center piece as outlined by your markings from step one. You may need to first drill a hole at each of the corners to fit your saw through. A power jigsaw may be preferred for thicker wood.
MOUNTING STEP 5 Place the fan unit into the newly cut square so that each screw hole is properly aligned. Please make sure the cut center hole is large enough that the plastic backside of the fan does not come into contact with the cabinet. This is to minimize vibrations which cause noise. STEP 6 Using the four machine screws, secure the fan unit’s frame onto the cabinet or wall. Push each screw through their corresponding hole located on the frame and wall.
POWERING S-SERIES You can power the fan unit by plugging the unit’s USB male connector into a standard USB port, or plugging the USB male connector into the included power adapter through an outlet. Then plugging the adapter into an outlet. T-SERIES Plug the fan unit’s USB plug into the USB port located on the back of the thermal control unit. Then plug the wall adapter’s male connector into the thermal controller’s power plug, also located on the back. Lastly, plug the power adapter into an outlet.
CONNECTING MORE FANS Each fan unit includes an USB port that enables you to connect an additonal fan. Up to four fans can share the same USB port, and up to six fans can share the same power outlet. Please see page 16 for limitations. T-SERIES CONTROLLER Thermal controllers can control up to six fans. Some models may contain more than one fan. For example AIRPLATE S7 contains two fans and AIRPLATE S9 contains three fans.
S-SERIES CONTROLLER SPEED CONTROLLER The speed controller located on the cord allows you to adjust the fan’s speed from off to low, medium, and high. Any fans that are daisy chained will also have their speed changed. All setups with more than four daisy-chained fans must have their inlinespeed controller set to high to prevent overloading the speed controller, e.g. two AIRPLATE S9 units daisy-chained together must have their speeds set to high.
T-SERIES CONTROLLER PROGRAMMING 1. MODE BUTTON Cycles through the unit’s modes: AUTO, SMART, OFF, ON, ALARM. Hold for three seconds will lock or unlock the display. 2. UP / DOWN BUTTON The up and down buttons change the setting temp, alarm temp, display brightness, or the speed of the fan. 3. LEAF BUTTON This turns the display off while allowing the programs to run. Holding will change degrees to Fahrenheit or Celsius. 9 1 4 SETTING o F o F 6 PROBE o F 2 ALARM 3 5 7 8 4.
T-SERIES CONTROLLER PROGRAMMING QUICK START Press the MODE button until you are on AUTO mode. This mode works like a thermostat. Then press the up and down triangle buttons to change the SETTING temperature on the screen. The PROBE temperature is what the thermal probe is measuring. When the PROBE temperature exceeds the SETTING temperature, the fans will start running. ON MODE In this mode, the fans will run non-stop regardless of temperature.
T-SERIES CONTROLLER PROGRAMMING OFF MODE In this mode, the fans are powered off regardless of set temperature or set speed. The backlight setting can be increased or decreased by pressing the up or down buttons while in this mode. If the first and the third brightness bar light up and the device is left unattended for 30 seconds, the display will automatically dim its brightness back to the dimmest setting.
T-SERIES CONTROLLER PROGRAMMING ALARM SETTING In this mode, you can set what temperature the system’s alarm will trigger by pressing the up and down triangle buttons. When the PROBE temperature reaches or exceeds the ALARM temperature, the alarm will activate. The alarm will only activate while the controller is in ON, AUTO, or SMART Mode so please remember to exit ALARM Mode once the alarm has been set.
T-SERIES CONTROLLER PROGRAMMING VARIATION BUFFER In AUTO mode, a buffer is built in to prevent your fan from turning on and off too quickly due to small variations in the environment. When the PROBE temperature exceeds your SETTING temperature, the fan will start running immediately. However, the PROBE temperature will need to fall below your SETTING temperature by 4° Fahrenheit or 2° Celsius or more, to stop the fans from running.
T-SERIES CONTROLLER PROGRAMMING ALERT ICONS On the top right of the display there are two alert icons. They are visible to show that the system’s functions are being monitored. They will flash when the controller wishes to alert you that a particular function is being triggered. PROBE SETTING o F o F o F ALARM ALARM ALERT The alarm alert icon will flash when the probe temperature reaches or exceeds the alarm temperature you have set.
MULTIZONE CONTROLLER CONTROLLER 8 MULTIZONE CONTROLLER The Multizone controller enables you to control cooling fans in four different zones with independent programming settings for each zone. Pressing the zone change button will cycle through these zones as shown by A, B, C, and D icons on the LCD display. On the back side of the controller, there will be one probe and fan port underneath each corresponding A, B, C, and D designation.
AIRPLATE FAQ Q: Can I mount this cabinet fan vertically? A: Yes. The AIRPLATE can be mounted in any orientation, including vertically. Q: How do I flip the fan to create intake or exhaust airflow? A: To flip the fan blades, unscrew the bolts from the frontplate and the body. Flip the fans within the body and screw the bolts back in. This does not apply to the AIRPLATE S2. Q: Can I splice the cables to extend them or use my own probe? A: We do not recommend hardwiring or splicing our fan's power wires.
