Safety Precauons - Read &
Save
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS:
Installaon work and electrical wiring must be
done by qualied person(s) in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards.
CAUTION: The installaon of the Airius
Delta-T Control must be in accordance with the
requirements specied in this installaon manual
and with any addional requirements set forth
by the naonal electric code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA
70-1999, and all local codes.
If you are unfamiliar with wiring, use a qualied
electrician.
WARNING: To prevent electrical shock and/or
injury disconnect controller from power source
before you move or service the controller.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electric
shock, and injury to persons, this controller
should only be installed with Airius Fans that use
a shaded pole or PSC motor. Not suitable for use
with other motors.
CAUTION: When service or replacement of a
component in the controller requires the removal
or disconnecon of a safety device, the safety
device is to be reinstalled or remounted as
previously installed.
WARNING: Risk of re, electric shock, or injury
to persons during maintenance. Disconnect
the controller from the power supply before
servicing.
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
a) Use this unit only in the manner intended by
the manufacturer. If you have quesons, contact
the manufacturer.
b) Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch
power o at service panel and lock the service
disconnect to prevent power from being switched
on accidentally. When the service disconnect
cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent
warning device, such as a tag, to the service
panel.

Pre-Installaon
Electrical
ELECTRICAL WORK MUST BE PERFORMED
BY A QUALIFIED PERSON(S) IN ACCORDANCE
WITH ALL NATIONAL AND LOCAL CODES/
STANDARDS.
Airius recommends installing a dedicated circuit
for powering Airius fans.
Mechanical
A ladder, scissor li or other suitable means of
reaching the ceiling sensor and fan installaon
points will be required.
Installaon
Component Mounng
The wall control and oor sensor should both
be located approximately 48” AFF and each
mounted within a standard 2x4 job box.
The ceiling sensor should be wall mounted within
a 2x4 job box at the same elevaon as the fans.
Overall System Wiring Diagram
Component Mounng Note
The sensors need to be located in an area where
they will not be inuenced by local factors. DO
NOT MOUNT in an area that sees direct sun
light, next to high heat/cold sources, near HVAC
discharge vents, near radiant heang panels, etc...
Ideally, the sensors will be centrally located in the
space to best represent the average temperature
and humidity.
If you have quesons please contact the factory.

Sensor Wiring
Wire the wall control and sensors using twisted
pair cables. The sensor to controller distance
should not exceed 82 feet (25m) of wire length.
Control Wire Length (To fans)
The total length of the control wire from the wall
mounted controller to the fans should not exceed
750 . Mulple fans can be controlled as the wire
length is the liming factor vs number of fans.
Only suitable for use with EC motors.
Fan Wiring
REMOVE THE WAGO CONNECTORS THAT
ARE INSTALLED ON THE YELLOW AND RED
LEADS COMING FROM THE FAN(S).
Wire the wall control and fan(s) using a 2
conductor twisted control/signal cable. Daisy
chain the fans as indicated on the wiring diagram
on the previous page. Terminate the connecons
at the wall control terminal block labeled
0-10VDC (yellow) and GND (blue).
Control Power Wiring
A 24VDC power supply is provided. Connect the
power supply to the wall control terminal block
labeled GND and 24V. The black wire with the
dashed white lines should be connected to the
24V connecon and the black cable with text
should be connected to the GND connecon.
ONLY PLUG THE POWER SUPPLY INTO A 120V
OUTLET ONCE ALL WIRE CONNECTIONS ARE
IN PLACE.

Operaon
The controller operates in 5 dierent modes: 24
hr automac mer, Delta T control, thermostat
control or humidistat control, and manual mode.
Below are instrucons on modifying the sengs
and operang the various modes.

Keypad Operaon
Set Units in Degrees F ° or C °
The controller defaults to Fahrenheit. If you wish
to change the units, PRESS & HOLD the ON/OFF
buon for 3 seconds
NOTE: AUTO Mode
The default AUTO mode is Delta T control. The
other modes will run when the set of condions
are met under their sengs. If you wish for a
parcular funcon to not run, set the parameters
outside of possible condions in the space or in
the case of the mer, do not set any on/o mes.
Set System Time
HOLD SET for 3 seconds. Press AUTO to select
hours or minutes. Use the UP and DOWN arrows
to increase/decrease the me seng. Press SET
to exit me sengs.

Set 24 HR Timer Mode
The mer mode will run the fans at a xed speed
between two set mes (ex: business hours 8:00-
16:00). There is a ‘me on’ seng, a ‘me o’
seng, and ‘speed step’ seng.
Press SET. Press AUTO to select: mer on hour,
mer on minutes, mer OFF hour, mer OFF
minutes, and speed seng. Under each selecon
use the UP/DOWN arrows to increase or
decrease the selected value. Press SET four mes
to exit.
Set Delta T Mode
The delta-T control mode connuously measures
the dierence in temperature between the high
and low temperature sensors and automacally
adjusts fan speed. As the delta-T increases, the
fan speed increases. Here is a list of the default
delta T values and associated speed seng:
0 degrees F = Speed 4
2 degrees F = Speed 4
4 degrees F = Speed 5
6 degrees F = Speed 6
8 degrees F = Speed 7
10 degrees F = Speed 8
12 degrees F = Speed 8
14 degrees F = Speed 8
16 degrees F = Speed 8
Press SET twice. Press AUTO to select the
delta-T value then press UP/DOWN to set
the speed step for the given delta T. Some
adjustments might be needed depending on
sound constraints, building height, severity of
stracaon, etc...
Set Thermostat Mode
The thermostat control mode monitors the oor
sensor temperature and will energize the fans to
the speed seng once the temperature is met.
The default value is 120 degrees F with a speed
seng of 0. Use this mode when using the fans
for cooling. As an example, set the temperature
to 75 degree F and the speed to seng 8 (MAX).
Once the temperature in the space reaches and
exceeds 75 degrees F, the fan will run at full
speed.
Press SET 3 mes. Press AUTO to select the
thermostat threshold or the speed seng. Use
the UP/DOWN arrows to adjust the selected
value.
Set Humidity Control Mode
The humidity control mode monitors the oor
sensor humidity and will energize the fans to
the speed seng once the relave humidity
percentage is met. The default value is 65% with
a speed seng of 5. This mode would commonly
be used in grocery applicaons to prevent
fogging on case doors.
Press SET 4 mes. Press AUTO to select the
relave humidity threshold or the speed seng.
Use the UP/DOWN arrows to adjust the selected
value.
The thermostat and humidistat control modes
can not be operated at the same me. To select
one or the other, hold down the AUTO buon
for 3 seconds. If humidistat control mode is
selected, the screen will show the percent
relave humidity of the oor sensor. If the
thermostat control mode is selected, the screen
will show the oor sensor temperature value.
Manual Control
Pressing the UP/DOWN arrows will allow you to
manually adjust the speed seng. The controller
will stay in manual mode unl it is switched back
to AUTO. To go back to AUTO mode, press AUTO
once.

Maintenance
Follow these easy steps to prevent any excess
dirt buildup and preserve the life of the product:
Cleaning:
Power o the control
You may clean the controller and
sensor faceplate with a damp cloth,
using mild household detergent only.
