FAN SPECIFICATIONS

CASE SIZE
Square axial fans come in the standard sizes set by the industry. They are commonly quoted with millimeters in the format length time height times width. A case size measuring 120 mm tall, 120 mm long, and 38 mm wide may be quoted as 120 x 120 x 38 mm.
CURRENT AND VOLTAGE
Fans designed to be powered by alternating current are known as AC fans. They are available in two voltage ranges, 100 to 125V, and 200 to 240V. A fan rated between 100 to 125V can be powered by household outlets in the US, which run at around 120V AC.
CONNECTORS
AC fans usually have terminal or wires as its power connector, located on the edges of its case. Terminals are two metal prongs which can be attached to a cord such as a power plug. Wire connectors, also known as leads are directly wired to the power source.
SPEED
Some applications demand a high airflow while others require minimal noise. To meet these requirements, fans are available in different speeds rated in RPM or rotations per minute. Given the same fan size, a higher RPM is correlated with higher airflow and noise.
BEARINGS
Axial fans are available with different types of bearings that can affect its life expectancy and mounting position. Dual ball bearings have the longest life and allows the fan to be mounted in any direction. Sleeve bearings have a low cost but short life expectancy.

KEY FEATURES

ALUMINUM HOUSING
A heavy-duty construction allows the fan to be used in harsh environments and withstand shock.
THERMOPLASTIC PBT
Materials used in the blade and impeller meet UL 94 standards for resistance to flammability.
METAL FAN GUARD
Premium steel fan guards with a black powder-coated finish to shield foreign objects and fingers from the fan blades.
MOTOR PROTECTION
Impedance-protected motors have windings that have a higher resistance to heat during a rotor lock.
DUAL BALL BEARINGS
Long life bearings rated at 67,000 hours. Also allows the fan to be mounted in any direction.
AC VOLTAGE
Rated between 100 to 125V AC, the fan can be powered directly by a US household outlet without an adapter.

FAN REPLACEMENT

STEP 1- COMPATIBILITY
Before you begin, please make sure that your new fan has a case size and voltage range that is compatible with the previous fan. Please turnoff any power going into your old fan.
STEP 2 - PREVIOUS FAN HAS TERMINAL CONNECTORS
If the fan you are trying to replace has terminal connectors, detach its power connector from the terminals by pulling it off the fan. If the connectors cannot be pulled off, please see page 10 for more information on previous fan that has wired connectors. Mount the new fan into position using the previous fan’s hardware. Then attach the power connectors onto the terminals of your new fan. Turn the power back on and your new fan should begin to run.
STEP 2 - PREVIOUS FAN HAS WIRED CONNECTORS
If the fan you are trying to replace has permanent wires connected to the power source that can’t be removed by pulling on it, cut the wire to remove the previous fan. Then take the power plug cord included in this kit and remove the head with a wire stripper. Under the cords plastic should be two identical wires with their tips exposed.
STEP 3 - WIRING (LEADS)
The previous power source should have a set of two wires. Connect one wire from the plug cord to one wire on the power source, then repeat for the second pair.
STEP 4 - CONNECTING
You can connect the two wire pairs by using a connect or block or electrical tape and wire connectors. Exposed wires and terminals can be hazardous when the fan is powered.
STEP 5 - TERMINALS
Mount the new fan into position using the previous fan’ s hardware. Then attach the power cord’s connectors onto the terminals of your new fan.

Description

The AC Infinity Axial Series Project Cooling Fan is engineered with precision to deliver optimal cooling performance. Its axial design allows for straightforward installation and ensures that airflow is directed exactly where needed. The fan's low noise profile makes it suitable for use in quiet environments such as home offices or living rooms. The adjustable speed settings enable users to balance between maximum airflow and minimum noise, depending on their specific needs.

The fan's durable construction ensures that it can withstand the rigors of continuous operation over long periods. The high-quality materials used in its construction also contribute to its reliability and longevity.

MOUNTING

STEP 1 - MARKING
Use the fan to determine the exact position where you wish to mount it. Outline the center circle and four outer screw holes with a pencil.
STEP 2 - DRILLING
Attach a hole saw onto the power drill, create the center hole as outlined by your markings from the previous step. The hole saw size is dependent on the fan’s case size. Using a power drill, create four screw holes as outlined by your markings from the previous step. We recommend using a drill bit size from 10/64” to 14/64”.
STEP 3 - POSITIONING
Position the fan against the hole just created. Place a wire guard over the fan’s side and another guard on the opposite end while keeping the screw holes aligned.
STEP 4 - MOUNTING
Mount the unit using four machine screws while holding each corresponding nut in place. Use a screwdriver to finish tightening the unit securely. Please see page 15 on instructions on powering the fan.

Hinges are only included with Speed Control Fan Kits: S1225, S1225D, S1238, and S1238D.

STEP 1 - ATTACHING HINGE
To attach the hinge that is included in the kit, slide the screw through the front end of the fan and the hinge as shown. Tighten the screw appropriately.
STEP 2 - MOUNTING HINGE
To mount the hinge on to your setup, use the included wood screw to drill into position. You may need to turn the hinge to its side to create a clear pathway to mount the wood screws through the hinge and onto a surface. Please see page 15 on instructions on powering the fan.

POWERING

STEP 1 - TERMINAL
After mounting your fan you can then attach the power plug cord onto the fans terminal.
STEP 2 - POWERING
Lastly, plug the cord’s head into a standard outlet. You may also power the fan with a wired power source.

SPEED CONTROLLER

Only included with models S1225, S1238, S1225d, and S1238D

LIGHT INDICATOR
When the light is lit up then the speed controller is turned on and is receiving power. When the light is off then so is the controller and fan.
ON
To turn on the fan, turn clockwise until you feel a click and then keep turning until the fan is at full power.
OFF
To completely shut off the fan, keep turning the knob counter-clockwise until you feel a click.
SPEED CONTROL
To adjust the fan’s speed, first turn the knob clockwise and the fan speed will increase gradually from low to high. Then slowley turn it counter-clockwise to lower the speed or to turn off the fan.
