 TachScan-3 Fan Speed Alarm

SmartFan TachScan-3 is a digital fan speed alarm that monitors the tach pulses from up to three DC or AC fans or blowers and provides OR’d pass/fail signals. The TachScan-3 digital fan speed alarm is compatible with any fan that provides open collector or voltage source tach pulses. Three trigger speeds

are selectable by jumper. If the speed of any air mover falls below the trigger speed, the TachScan-3 digital fan speed alarm signals are generated. Alarm signals can drive LEDs, logic, optical isolators or MOS Relays. The TachScan-3 can be used with any SmartFan speed controller.

For Application and Design Information See: 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
  • The SmartFan TachScan-3 accepts any supply voltage from 6 to 60 VDC and distributes power to DC fans through the same header used to sense tach pulses. It can also be used to power the DC tach circuits built into AC fans. (Special part numbers 030M3205 & 030M320R4 required for most AC fans)
  • Compatible with any SmartFan speed controller.
  • Three inputs monitor fans with any open collector or voltage source tach pulses.
  • P/N's 030M320 and 030M3205 provide simultaneous NO and NC open collector outputs from optical isolators which can sink up to 1.0 mA to drive logic circuits.
  • P/N's 030M320R and 030M320R4 provide simultaneous NO and NC isolated outputs from a Dual-Pole MOS Relay which can sink up to 100 mA to drive heavy loads.
  • Jumper sets trigger speed to 1,000, 2,000 or 4,000 PPM.
  • Can drive two single LEDs or one bi-colored LED.
  • Small size of 3.5” X 1.5” permits mounting in small spaces within fan trays, etc.
