Fan Controller
The SC300 can manage one FC100 Fan Controller module.
The FC100 can control up to 8 fans, with one or two independent proportional control modules.
For more information, see
FC100 Fan Controller Install and Operation
, available from Eaton.
The SC300 provides these features when used with the FC100:
•
Configure primary and secondary control profiles for controller 1 and Controller 2.
•
Set fan controller mode.
•
Switch from primary to Secondary control profiles by Smart Alarm control
•
Manual speed control over-ride.
•
View temperature inputs
•
View fan speeds
•
Report fan controller alarms and values remotely.
► To connect a Fan Controller
The FC100 fan controller is an RXP device and must be registered with the SC300 before it will
communicate with it.
1
Connect the FC100 communications port (RJ-45) to the RXP bus using an RJ-45 patch cable..
Generally there will be a spare RXP connection on the VFN board.
2
In web, go to

.
3
In DCTools, go to

.
4
The RXP Devices table should show the FC100.
5
Copy the FC100 serial number into the next available position in the IO Board to Serial
Number Mapping table.
6

► To configure a Control Profile
The control profile specifies how fan control power percentage (and hence speed) varies with
temperature.
It consists of six temperature / power settings. The FC100 will smoothly increase fan speed as
temperature increases from one point to the next.
The control profile will be pre-determined according to the enclosure and fan characteristics.
Unauthorized changes could cause over-heating.
7
Select the required profile to enter.
Generally this will be Controller 1, Primary Profile.
8
Enter and apply values for all six temperature / power pairs.
► To set fan controller mode
Set
Mode
to any of these values:
Single Controller
All fans are driven from temperature sensor 1 and controller 1 profile.
Dual Controller
Temperature sensor 1 drives both controllers with their own profiles.
Independent Controller
The two controllers work independently with their own temperature sensors.
