SmartFan® Wisp II

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION


SmartFan Wisp II Fan Speed Control

INSTALLATION

Mounting
Mount Wisp in a moving air stream using the cable clamp supplied. Avoid placing the sensor (located at the tip) near a hot component as this may result in heating by radiation. To minimize heating of the sensor by the Wisp circuits, avoid mounting the unit vertically with the sensor at the top.

Location
Install a closed-loop unit at or near the equipment exhaust where it can sense any upstream event that could affect cabinet temperature. Install an open-loop (P suffix) unit at or near the equipment inlet.

Connections



Temperature Alarm Output

A temperature alarm signal is available through the yellow and black wires. An alarm can be indicated using an external LED (Figure 1) or logic circuit (Figure 2).

Alarm Type: Non-Isolated Open-Collector
Trigger: 10°C Above Control Temperature
Alarm States: Conducting (Closed), Above Trigger
Cut-Off (Open), Below Trigger
Max. Voltage: 30 VDC
Max. Current: 4 mA DC at 0.4 VDC (Logic Circuit),
10 mA DC (LED Circuit)

OPERATION

Fan Speed vs. Sensor Temperature
The relationship between fan speed, as a percentage of full speed, and sensed temperature is shown in Figure 4. Full speed occurs at the Control Temperature (Tc ). Minimum speed temperature (approx. 50% of full speed) depends on part number. For closed loop units, the “X” in Figure 4 is equal to 4. For open loop units the “X” in Figure 4 is equal to 12.


Voltage Regulator and Limiter
Part Nos. 048W0XXX are intended to cover telecommunications applications using supply voltages ranging from 38 to 75 VDC. Minimum idle voltage is regulated at 26 VDC. Maximum voltage applied to the fans is limited to 50 VDC. For supply voltages above 50 VDC, power is linearly derated based on the curve shown in Figure 5.
