Controller 30 Operation Manual 90-30016-00 Rev A-01 Date: 031920 

Mixed Network Wiring Instructions 

Networks utilizing different types of connections, will wire each fan according to the preceding 
wiring instructions in the manual. Below is an example of wiring for a mixed network: 

 
When networking AVD 370 fans, you will need a repeater for every 5 fans. For example, if you 
have twelve fans, but 7 are  Y or X Series fans and 5 are AVD 370 fans, you will only need one 
repeater. 
 

Note:  When  installing  new  fans  in  an  existing  mixed  network,  contact  Technical  Support  for 
assistance with networking your fans.
