Locating the Fan Inlet Sensors on 
centrifugal Forward Curve Fans

Mounting the Inlet Sensors

Inspect the fan inlet opening to ensure no 

obstructions or irregularities interfere with installation 

of the sensors. Install the two fan inlet sensors 

opposite one another within the fan inlet bell. Place 

the sensor housing at or near the highest restriction 

point of the fan inlet as possible. Be careful to not 

bend or touch the thermistors while installing.
Sensors should be placed at the 12:00 o’clock and 

6:00 o’clock positions, directly opposite one another 

in a similar fashion for fans with the air exiting on the 

right or left of the housing. See Figure 1.  
Sensors should be placed at the 3:00 o’clock and 

9:00 o’clock positions, directly opposite one another 

for fans with the air exiting on the top or bottom of 

the fan housing. See Figure 2.
On dual inlet fans, install two sensor circuits within 

each fan inlet bell. Place the sensor at or near the 

highest restriction point of each inlet as possible.  

Use the supplied pan head, self-drilling fasteners
(included in parts bag) to fasten the fan inlet sensor 
to the inlet bell. Use nylon cable clamps (included in 
parts bag) to secure RJ45 cable to the inlet bell.
If the fan has a shallow inlet bell, use a box knife or
other utility knife to remove the Air Leaving Wedge,
leaving the primary sensor housing (containing the
sensor circuit) and the Air Entering Wedge. Use the
mounting hole on the Primary Sensor Housing if you
remove the Air Leaving Wedge.
