Turbo Fan
The Turbo Fan is a heavy duty stainless steel constructed machine that is, quiet, durable and powerful. It incorporates a
ratchet, positive locking positioning base for quick and easy use. It comes with a built-in variable speed control and can
also be controlled by an optional DMX/W-DMX with RDM mode interface for powerful, fast and secure control. The dual
voltage selector switch allows operation in either 110V/220V making it very versatile.
DMX Control:
The DMX control will occupy 3 consecutive channels. The first channel controls the fan speed from 0-100%. The second
channel determines direction of flow where a setting above 50% provides reverse flow. The third channel will provide
snow volume if the fan is in the reverse direction and the fan speed is over 10%, this requires the optional snow machine.
The base DMX address can be selected from 1 – 510 with 3 consecutive addresses occupied. The arrow keys below each
address digit increases that digit. The “Valid DMX” LED indicates the presence of a stable DMX signal.
DMX Channel
Control
Base Displayed
Fan speed from 0 to 100%
Base + 1
Fan direction (0 - 49% Forward / 50% - 100% - Reverse)
Base + 2
Snow Volume from 0 to 100% (Base must = 10% or higher, Base + 1 must = 50% or higher)
RDM
The wired DMX connection is also RDM enabled. Basic instruction set includes identification and DMX re-addressing.
Local Operation:
The fan can be controlled locally by using higher numbers in the DMX display.
700-799 will give forward fan speed settings of 0-99 which equates to OFF to 100%
800-899 will give reverse fan speed settings of 0-99 which equates to OFF to 100%
6xy-699 will give (x = 0-9) reverse fan speed and (y = 0-9) snow volume. There is a 5 second delay before the snow starts.
Wireless Option:
Optional wireless control is provided by a WDMX radio transceiver. In DMX mode the fan can be used as a drop point
to other equipment. The function switch is used to unlink the radio (By pressing and holding for 3 seconds only). The
link status is displayed on the blue Led. Solid blue indicates linked, fast flashing indicates linking, Slow flashing indicates
searching for a linked transmitter and off indicates unlinked. A Yellow LED will indicate signal strength when receiving DMX
data. When receiving valid DMX data the red valid DMX Led will be on solid.
Note:
if wireless RDM features are implemented (user must program them) the fan will no longer be usable as a drop point.
Note:
wireless and wired DMX can’t both be actively present.
