SmartFan Cirrus-6 PWM Fan Speed Control and Alarm for 4-wire Fans

SmartFan Cirrus-6 is a PWM fan speed control and alarm that offers an off-the-shelf cooling solution for 4-wire fans and blowers. Cirrus-6 can control and monitor tach pulses from up to six 12, 24, or 48 VDC 4-wire fans. The PWM fan speed control and alarm accepts fan speed control commands (including on/off) and provides individual pass/fail fan status via an I2C interface.

The I2C interface also provides temperature readings from an on-board thermistor and EEPROM storage. The Cirrus-6 can be configured for PWM fan speed control based on temperature or analog control signal (PWM, 5.0 VDC). Configuration of the Cirrus-6 PWM fan speed control and alarm is settable via I2C inteface or options can be set at the factory to your specifications.
