PRODUCT REQUIREMENTS
The AIRCOM series is designed to cool various AV components by accelerating the intake of cool
air and outtake of heat. Please make sure that the following requirements are met to ensure the
cooling system will work effectively.
FULLY ENCLOSED CABINETS
The cooling system is not compatible with fully
enclosed cabinets. Air must be able to travel in
and out of the cabinet. Please make sure that
your cabinet has ventilation holes or is open at
the front or back.
REAR EXHAUST MODELS
For models containing blowers, AIRCOM
S6, S8, and T8, the cabinet’s ventilation
holes should be at the rear. The hot air that
the cooling system is exhausting should be
directed out of the cabinet through its rear
holes.

7
WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
AIRCOM S6, and S7 can support a top weight limit
of 10 pounds. AIRCOM S8, S9, S10, T8, T9 and
T10 can support a top weight limit of 30 pounds.
Please make sure that the component does not
block the cooling system cooling system’s vents.
OPERATION LIMITATIONS
The fan system has an operating temperature
rating of 32° F to 140° F and a humidity rating
of 35% to 85% RH. Please make sure that the
system’s environment does not exceed these
parameters.
COMPONENT VENTS
The cooling system is designed to be placed on
top of AV components to draw out hot air upwards
or at the rear. The system works more effectively if
the AV component has vents at the top.

MODE CONTROL
Pressing the Mode Control button will cycle through the operating modes: ON
Mode, AUTO Mode, SMART Mode and OFF Mode.
ON MODE - A white light as shown on page 12 indicates if the system is running in
ON Mode. In this mode, the fans will run continuously regardless of temperature.
AUTO MODE - An orange light as shown on page 12 indicates if the system is
running in AUTO Mode. In this mode, the fans will only be triggered to run when
the temperature is at 88° F or higher. While running, the fans will turn off when the
temperature is at 84° F or lower.
SMART MODE - Both the orange and white light will be visible to indicate if the
system is running in SMART Mode. In this mode the fans will change speed
depending on the measured temperature. For every 2° F increment that the
temperature is below 88° F, the speed of the fans will decrease by one level.
OFF MODE - In this mode, the white and orange light will not be visible; and the
fans will not run regardless of temperature.
SPEED CONTROL
While in ON, AUTO, or SMART Mode, you can press this button to change the
speed settings. In ON Mode, you can set what speed the fans will run continuously
at. In AUTO Mode, pressing this button will set what speed the fans will run at
when they are triggered to run. In SMART Mode, the speed you set will be the
highest speed the fans can reach at 88° F; and drop by one level for every 2° F
decrease.

PROGRAMMING
AIRCOM T8 T9 T10
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. Pressing the up and down buttons while in this
mode will change the speed of the fan. Whichever speed is
designated in this mode will also be the speed used in AUTO
Mode and the max speed of the fans in SMART Mode.
AUTO MODE
This is the thermostat setting where the fans will start
running when the PROBE temperature reaches or surpasses
the SETTING temperature. The SETTING temperature can
be designated by pressing the up and down buttons while
in this mode. Once the fans start running, the PROBE
temperature would need to fall at least 4° F below the
SETTING temp for the fans to stop running. This variation
buffer can be changed to 2° F, see page 18 for more
information.

16
PROGRAMMING
AIRCOM T8 T9 T10
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.
SMART MODE
This is the energy saving mode where the fans will change
speed depending on the temperature. The SETTING
temperature can be designated by pressing the up and down
triangle buttons while in this mode.
For every 4°F increment that the PROBE temperature is
below the SETTING temperature, the speed of the fans will
decrease by one level. This increment can be changed to
2°F, please see page 18 for more information.
The fan speed you designated in ON Mode will also be
the max speed the fan’s can reach. This occurs when the
PROBE temperature reaches or exceeds the SETTING
temperature.

17
PROGRAMMING
AIRCOM T8 T9 T10
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.
When the alarm is triggered, the fan will run at
max speed regardless of mode and will make an
audible beep every three seconds. This will keep
occurring until the temperature drops below the
ALARM temp or if any buttons are pressed.
The alarm can be disabled to not trigger
by pressing the up triangle button until the
temperature is at 140° F, then pressing the up
button once more to show “OF”.
FAHRENHEIT OR CELSIUS
The temperatures displayed can be set to Fahrenheit or Celsius scale by holding the LEAF button
until °F or °C is shown after the digits. All digits displayed will be automatically converted to the
designated scale.

AIRCOM T8 T9 T10
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. In SMART mode, the speed of the fan will decrease by one level for every 4° Fahrenheit or
2° Celsius that the PROBE temperature is below the SETTING temperature.
To change this buffer or increment setting to 2° Fahrenheit or 1° Celsius, hold the MODE button
and DOWN button together for three seconds. To change back to 4° Fahrenheit or 2° Celsius, hold
the MODE button and UP button together for three seconds.
CONTROLLER LOCK
Holding the MODE button for three or more seconds will lock the controller. The controller will still
work as programmed. However, pressing any buttons will not have an effect and will cause the
screen lock icon to flash. This option was designed to prevent your controller settings from being
changed by accident. Holding the MODE button again for three or more seconds will unlock the
controller.
CONNECTING MORE FANS
On the backside of the AIRCOM T8, T9, and T10 models, there
are two USB ports. Up to six MULTIFAN or AIRPLATE fans can
be plugged into it to share the same programming. A model
can contain more than one fan. For example, an AIRPLATE S7
contains two fans so only three AIRPLATE S7s are supported.
Before daisy chain one more fan, please make sure the
previous fan speed is set on High speed. Please see page 20
for more information.

ALERT ICONS
On the bottom right of the display there are three 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.
CHECK FAN ALERT
The check fan icon will flash when the fan’s sensor detects interference
to its operation. Please check the fan for possible issues. If the fan is
rotating, it may just be static pressure resistance and operating as
intended. If the fan is not rotating, please see the warranty page for
replacement information.
ALARM ALERT
The alarm alert icon will flash when the probe temperature reaches or
exceeds the alarm temperature you have set. Please see page 17 for
more information on setting up the alarm.
DISPLAY LOCK ALERT
This icon is not visible when the controller is unlocked. The icon will
flash when any buttons are pressed while the controller is locked. To
lock or unlock the controller, hold down the MODE button for three or
more seconds.
