Stratus II Datasheet

SmartFan Stratus II VFD (variable frequency drive) is designed to control single or three-phase fractional HP, inverter grade motors via a transducer (voltage or current signal), building automation system (voltage, current signal, Modbus), thermistor, potentiometer, contact closure or Modbus RTU network.  This VFD can be customized in minutes using the menu-driven SmartFan Navigator handheld remote programmer or through the Modbus communications port.

Economical OEM pricing as low as $126 for 50 pieces – under $100 in higher volumes.

For an explanation of the Stratus II variable frequency drive motor requirements and risks, please see: AC Motor Compatibility

For a technical article on how the Stratus II AC variable frequency drive compares to other control technologies, see: Controller Comparison & Motor Efficiency
