INSTALLATION
STEP 1
When installing in a large room like a green
house, 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.
Mounting Hole

INSTALLATION
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 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.

INSTALLATION
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.

DAISY CHAIN AND SETUP
The fan controller can power up to two compatible fans to share the same programming.
(The illustration below is for T-Series model only. )
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.

speed button increases the fan speed in one
unit increments. Pressing the button at the 8
setting 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.

PROGRAMMING
CONTROLLER MODES
Pressing the mode button will cycle through the controller’s available programming modes: OFF, ON,
AUTO (4 triggers), TIMER TO ON, TIMER TO OFF, CYCLE (On and Off), and SCHEDULE (On and
Off).
ON MODE
Your fan will actively run at the speed set here,
regardless of the probe’s reading. The ON mode
also serves as the maximum speed setting the
other modes will run in.
OFF MODE
Your fan will not run while in this mode. However,
the fan speed set while in this mode establishes
the minimum speed in other modes. When the fan
is triggered to turn OFF in all other modes, it will
instead run at the speed set here.
AUTO MODE (HIGH TEMPERATURE TRIGGER)
Pressing the up or down button sets the high
temperature trigger. The fans will activate if the
probe’s reading meets or exceeds this threshold.
Once triggered, the fan will gradually ramp up to the
speed set in ON mode. If the probe’s reading falls
below this trigger point, the fans will gradually slow
down to a stop or at the speed set in OFF mode.
You may set this trigger below the low temperature
trigger to create a specific range in which the fan is
active.
Note that this trigger can activate as long
as you are in AUTO Mode, even if you are
viewing a different trigger within AUTO Mode.
If there is a speed set in OFF Mode other than
zero, the fans will run at that speed when
triggered to turn off.

PROGRAMMING
AUTO MODE (LOW TEMPERATURE TRIGGER)
Pressing the up or down button sets the low
temperature trigger. The fans will activate if the
probe’s reading meets or falls below this threshold.
Once triggered, the fan will gradually ramp up to the
speed set in ON mode. If the probe’s reading rises
above this trigger point, the fans will gradually slow
down to a stop or at the speed set in OFF mode.
You may set this trigger above the high temperature
trigger to create a specific range in which the fan
is active.
AUTO MODE (HIGH HUMIDITY TRIGGER)
Pressing the up or down button sets the high
humidity trigger. The fans will activate if the probe’s
reading meets or exceeds this threshold.
Once triggered, the fan will gradually ramp up to the
speed set in ON mode. If the probe’s reading falls
below this trigger point, the fans will gradually slow
down to a stop or at the speed set in OFF mode.
You may set this trigger below the low humidity
trigger to create a specific range in which the fan
is active.
Note that this trigger can activate as long
as you are in AUTO Mode, even if you are
viewing a different trigger within AUTO Mode.
If there is a speed set in OFF Mode other than
zero, the fans will run at that speed when
triggered to turn off.
Note that this trigger can activate as long
as you are in AUTO Mode, even if you are
viewing a different trigger within AUTO Mode.
If there is a speed set in OFF Mode other than
zero, the fans will run at that speed when
triggered to turn off.

for 5 seconds. The time left on the countdown is
displayed below the current fan speed. Leaving
the timer mode while the countdown is running will
pause it until you return to this mode.

than zero, the fans will run at that speed
when triggered to turn off.
Note that this trigger can activate as long
as you are in AUTO Mode, even if you are
viewing a different trigger within AUTO Mode.
