Cooling System
The SynQor MPC‑1250 DC Output Series products are cooled by fans that draw air into the intake
below the front panel on the front panel and exhaust it out the two fan ports on the rear panel.
Care should be taken to ensure there is no obstruction to this airflow, either at the front intake
or the rear exhaust ports. Similarly, care should be taken to avoid obstructing the fan blades.
The speed of the cooling fans is automatically controlled to provide adequate MPC cooling while
extending the life of the fan bearings. Under low ambient temperature and/or low MPC output
power the fans will be driven at a low speed. If the ambient temperature and output power
are such that the MPC cannot otherwise maintain its specified maximum temperature for its
internal circuitry, the fans will momentarily be driven at a speed that exceeds their rated long‑
term running speed. There is an LED on the front panel that indicates the speed of the fans.
If the ambient temperature is low enough (for the level of power being delivered to the load),
the fans may not be on. This is not a malfunction. It is done to preserve the life of the fans. If
the fans are off, check the Fan Service Required LED on the front panel. If it is GREEN, the fans
are functioning properly and simply not needed under the present conditions.
The fans are weather‑proof and water‑proof.
The MPC has two fans to provide redundancy for these exposed, moving components. With
only a single operating fan the MPC is still able to deliver 100% rated power at an ambient
temperature as high as 40
o
C, and it is able to deliver 80% of its rated power at an ambient
temperature as high as 55
o
C.
