Description:  

 

The Larkin Auto Fan Control™ will automatically energize the fan(s) prior to cooking operations commencing 
per IMC code 507.1.1 by means of a temperature sensor.  

 

System Components: 
 

The Larkin Industries AFC (Auto Fan Control™) wall mount Control Box includes the following: 

 

 

Wall mounted 12” x 22” x 6” stainless steel enclosure with hinged door and tamper resistant latch. 
Enclosure may be recess mounted (with optional trim ring).

 

 

Switches with LED indicator lights mounted on enclosure door for system operation. 

 

Exhaust and Make Up Air (MUA) fan(s) are interlocked. If hood fire suppression system is activated, the 
lights and MUA fan(s) shut down. The Exhaust fan(s) will continue to operate.  

 

Temperature sensor(s) factory mounted in hood(s). 

 

Exhaust and MUA fan starter(s) (3 Ph) or contactor(s) (1 Ph). 

 

Prewired with terminal strips and wiring diagrams. 

 
Note: 

Wall mounted box size 12” x 22” x 6” for up to 4 starters or contactors and 18” x 26” x 8” for 5-8
