SmartFan TachStrip Fan Speed Alarm

SmartFan TachStrip is a modular fan speed alarm that accepts tachometer (Hall Effect) pulses from DC or AC fans or blowers. TachStrip monitors these pulses and generates failure alarms if air mover speed drops below a preset trigger speed. TachStrip comprises a strip of 6 individual fan speed alarm units bused together. The web separating units can be cut to provide strips to handle any quantity of fans.  
Each unit monitors one air mover and provides alarm outputs for that air mover. The bus distributes power to each unit and OR’s alarm signals from each unit to provide a single alarm output if any air mover should fail. Each alarm unit has three outputs used to drive a logic circuit, LED, or piezo alarm.

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.

  Normally Closed (NC) Alarm Output Closed above trigger speed and will sink 4 mA at 0.4 VDC or less. Open below trigger speed and will accept up to 30 VDC. Referenced to fan negative terminal. Applies nominal 12 mA to an LED connected from NC to L.
 
 
Normally Open (NO) Alarm Output Open above trigger speed and will accept up to 30 VDC. Closed below trigger speed and will sink 4 mA at 0.4 VDC or less. Referenced to negative fan terminal. Applies nominal 12 mA to an LED connected from NO to L. Applies nominal power supply voltage to a piezo alarm connected from NO to P.

OR’d (OR) Alarm Output OR’d with all other alarm units in TachStrip. Other characteristics identical to NO alarm output.
