 Multi SD Fan Speed Control and Temperature Alarm

SmartFan Multi SD is a new generation fan speed control and temperature alarm cooling solution designed for DC fans and blowers. Multi SD fan control accepts and diode ORs dual power feeds in the range from 10 to 75 VDC. This OEM control cooling solution can control 12, 24 or 48 VDC fans and operates at a high frequency to achieve maximum power efficiency at minimum size. Fan speed control is based on temperature at up to three temperature sensors. Voltage to the fans is varied using a common mode buck control circuit.

 

Multi SD is supplied with an optically isolated temperature alarm, triggered if sensor temperature reaches 10°C above control temperature or if cooling system power is lost.

In addition to the standard line of SmartFan controls and alarms, Control Resources also provides custom control design and manufacturing services to provide you with the optimum cooling solution for your OEM control applications.

 Features
  • High power efficiency: typically greater than 90%
  • Noise reduction: typically 15 dB(A) or more at idle speed
  • Jumpers allow user selectable settings of:
    -
    12, 24 or 48 VDC operation (maximum output is limited to input voltage)
    - 35, 40 or 45°C Control Temperature
    - 1, 2 or 3 temperature sensors
  • Temperature alarm output through optical isolator or MOS relay
  • Accepts and diode ORs dual power feeds
  • Soft start and current limiting at start up
  • Accepts temperature (thermistor) inputs from up
    to three OR'd sensors and provides proportional
    speed control to the fans
  • Compatible with SmartFan TachScan-3 and
    TachScan-9 fan speed alarms
  • Small size of 1.5" X 5.0" permits mounting in
