TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO
PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

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.
It is ideal to position fans near the top of the
cabinet configured to exhaust out the warmer
air and position fans near the bottom to push in
colder air.
CFM REQUIREMENTS
A fan or set of fan’s CFM rating measures the
rate at which air flows into a space. To obtain
the required CFM rating, divide the dimensions
of a cabinet by 1728 to get the cubic feet area
then multiply by three to account for various
real world variables.

CHANGING FAN DIRECTION
STEP 1
Unplug the cabinet fan before flipping the
internal fan.
Remove the screws using a Phillips screwdriver
to separate the front plate and the internal fan
from the shell.
STEP 2
Identify the airflow direction to achieve your
desired configuration; airflow will blow on the
label side.
Route the cord towards the label side if creating
an intake configuration.

CHANGING FAN DIRECTION
STEP 3
Lift the fan guard to run the cord through one
of the open grooves, then guide the fan into
the shell.
Reapply the screws to secure the fan, fan
guard, and shell together.
STEP 4
Replace the grille and front plate over the
open side. Reapply the screws to secure the
grille and front plate back and reassemble the
cabinet fan.

MOUNTING
STEP 1
Determine your desired mounting location.
Place and secure the stencil over it using tape
and mark the drilling points and outline.
STEP 2
Drill the mounting holes into your wall space.
Cut the rectangular outline to create the
opening. Use of a saw is recommended.

STEP 3
Push the cabinet fan into the cut opening to
create a flush mount, making sure the fan's
backside does not touch its perimeter to
minimize vibration noise.

T-SERIES CONTROLLER
Thermal controllers can control up to six fans. Some models may contain more than one fan
(AIRPLATE S7 contains two fans and AIRPLATE S9 contains three fans). Fan units connected
with the thermal controller will share the same speed and temperature settings. If the fans
contain an inline speed controller, set their speeds to HIGH.

Each fan unit includes an USB port that enables you to
connect an additional 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 20 for limitations.

STEP 1
You may use the two rear USB ports to power
up to two USB devices (supports up to 5V per
port).
These devices are powered on and off using
the switch on the front side.
STEP 2
You may use the four rear outlet sockets as
you would a power strip to power up to four
additional devices (supports up to 850W).
Unplug the cabinet fan before plugging in
more devices.
These devices are powered on and off using
the switch on the front side.

PROGRAMMING
SPEED CONTROLLER
Sets the fan speed to OFF, LOW, MEDIUM,
or HIGH. Daisy-chained fans will also adjust
to this setting. All systems with more than four
daisy-chained fans must set their inline speed
controller to HIGH to prevent overloading this
speed controller (ex. two AIRPLATE S9 units
daisy-chained together must be set to HIGH).
S3/T3 – 1 Fan
S7/T7 – 2 Fans
S9/T9 – 3 Fans
TURBO BOOST ADAPTER
Maximizes fan performance by increasing fan
speed by up to 25%.You may use the speed
controller to reduce noise level if the higher
speeds are too loud for your application.
