Specifications

Note: Above range only for PWM range, the actual control effect will vary depending on the fan.

Dip Switches

Dip switch Name Function
1 TFL FAN1 min PWM: ON - 40%, OFF - 20%
2 TP1 Set Accelerated/Full Speed Temperature
3 TP2 Set Accelerated/Full Speed Temperature
4 BF1 FAN1 FAN2 stall alarm
5 BF2 FAN1 FAN2 stall alarm
TP1 TP2 Acceleration Temperature Full Speed Temperature
OFF OFF 35°C 45°C
ON OFF 40°C 55°C
OFF ON 50°C 70°C
ON ON 60°C 90°C

When the temperature lower than the accelerated temperature, then output at the minimum rotation speed; when it exceed over the full temperature, then always output at full speed.

BF1 BF2 (No. 4,5): corresponds FAN1 FAN2 stall alarm function switch, when the corresponding open channel fan break down, the controller will alarm with sound and light (works with buzzer), alarm will automatically eliminated when the fan is rotated recovery . If BF1 and BF2 both are open (ON), the FAN1, FAN2 have any one or both stops, the controller will alarm.
