PRODUCT REQUIREMENTS
The AIRCOM series is designed to cool various AV components by accelerating the intake of cool
air and outtake of heat. Please make sure that the following requirements are met to ensure the
cooling system will work effectively.

FULLY ENCLOSED CABINETS


The cooling system is not compatible with
fully enclosed cabinets. Air must be able
to travel in and out of the cabinet. Please
make sure that your cabinet has ventilation
holes or is open at the front or back.

REAR EXHAUST MODELS


For models containing blowers,
AIRCOMS6, S8, and T8, the cabinet’s
ventilation holes should be at the rear.
The hot air that the cooling system is
exhausting should be directed out of
the cabinet through its rear holes.

PRODUCT REQUIREMENTS
WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
AIRCOM S6 and S7 can support a top weight limit
of 10 pounds. AIRCOM S8, S9, S10, T8, T9 and
T10 can support a top weight limit of 30 pounds.
Please make sure that the component does not
block the cooling system cooling system’s vents.

OPERATION LIMITATIONS
The fan system has an operating temperature rating
of 32° F to 140° F and a humidity rating of 35%
to 85% RH. Please make sure that the system’s
environment does not exceed these parameters.

COMPONENT VENTS
The cooling system is designed to be placed on
top of AV components to draw out hot air upwards
or at the rear. The system works more effectively
if the AV component has vents at the top.

ADDING MORE FANS

Each AIRCOM T-Series fan is equipped with two USB ports to


power and share programming with additional fans. Each port
can power up to three fans. AIRPLATE units may contain more
than one fan while MULTIFAN units each count as one fan.

When connecting AIRPLATE units and/or MULTIFAN units to a single USB port, make sure they
collectively contain no more than three total fans. Any connected MULTIFAN units must be set to
HIGH so their voltages match that of the AIRCOM. Refer to the examples below.

Mode, AUTO Mode, SMART Mode and OFF Mode.

ON MODE - A white light as shown on page 14 indicates if the system is running


in ON Mode. In this mode, the fans will run continuously regardless of temperature.

AUTO MODE - An orange light as shown on page 14 indicates if the system is


running in AUTO Mode. In this mode, the fans will only be triggered to run when
the temperature is at 88° F or higher. While running, the fans will turn off when the
temperature is at 84° F or lower.

SMART MODE - Both the orange and white light will be visible to indicate if the
system is running in SMART Mode. In this mode the fans will change speed
depending on the measured temperature. For every 2° F increment that the
temperature is below 88° F, the speed of the fans will decrease by one level.

OFF MODE - In this mode, the white and orange light will not be visible; and the
fans will not run regardless of temperature.

SPEED CONTROL
While in ON, AUTO, or SMART Mode, you can press this button to change the
speed settings. In ON Mode, you can set what speed the fans will run continuously
at. In AUTO Mode, pressing this button will set what speed the fans will run at when
they are triggered to run. In SMART Mode, the speed you set will be the highest
speed the fans can reach at 88° F; and drop by one level for every 2° F decrease.

PROGRAMMING
AIRCOM T8 T9 T10

QUICK START
Press the MODE button until you are on AUTO mode. This mode works like a thermostat. Then
press the up and down triangle buttons to change the SETTING temperature on the screen. The
PROBE temperature is what the thermal probe is measuring. When the PROBE temperature
exceeds the SETTING temperature, the fans will start running.

ON MODE
In this mode, the fans will run non-stop regardless
of temperature. Pressing the up and down buttons
while in this mode will change the speed of the fan.
Whichever speed is designated in this mode will
also be the speed used in AUTO Mode and the max
speed of the fans in SMART Mode.

AUTO MODE
This is the thermostat setting where the fans will start
running when the PROBE temperature reaches or
surpasses the SETTING temperature. The SETTING
temperature can be designated by pressing the up
and down buttons while in this mode. Once the fans
start running, the PROBE temperature would need to
fall at least 4° F below the SETTING temp for the fans
to stop running. This variation buffer can be changed
to 2° F, see page 20 for more information.

17
PROGRAMMING
AIRCOM T8 T9 T10

OFF MODE
In this mode, the fans are powered off regardless of
set temperature or set speed. The backlight setting
can be increased or decreased by pressing the up or
down buttons while in this mode. If the first and the third
brightness bar light up and the device is left unattended
for 30 seconds, the display will automatically dim its
brightness back to the dimmest setting.

SMART MODE
This is the energy saving mode where the fans will
change speed depending on the temperature. The
SETTING temperature can be designated by pressing
the up and down triangle buttons while in this mode.

For every 4°F increment that the PROBE temperature


is below the SETTING temperature, the speed of the
fans will decrease by one level. This increment can be
changed to 2°F, please see page 20 for
more information.

The fan speed you designated in ON Mode will also


be the max speed the fan’s can reach. This occurs
when the PROBE temperature reaches or exceeds
the SETTING temperature.

PROGRAMMING
AIRCOM T8 T9 T10

ALARM SETTING
In this mode, you can set what temperature the
system’s alarm will trigger by pressing the up
and down triangle buttons. When the PROBE
ALARM
temperature reaches or exceeds the ALARM
temperature, the alarm will activate. The alarm
will only activate while the controller is in ON,
AUTO, or SMART Mode so please remember to
exit ALARM Mode once the alarm has been set.

When the alarm is triggered, the fan will run at


max speed regardless of mode and will make an
audible beep every three seconds. This will keep
occurring until the temperature drops below the
ALARM temp or if any buttons are pressed.

The alarm can be disabled to not trigger


by pressing the up triangle button until the
temperature is at 140° F, then pressing the up
button once more to show “OF”.

FAHRENHEIT OR CELSIUS
The temperatures displayed can be set to Fahrenheit or Celsius scale by holding the LEAF button
until °F or °C is shown after the digits. All digits displayed will be automatically converted to the
designated scale.

VARIATION BUFFER AUTO Mode


In AUTO mode, a buffer is built in to prevent your
fan from turning on and off too quickly due to small
variations in the environment. When the PROBE
temperature exceeds your SETTING temperature,
the fan will start running immediately. However, the ON
PROBE temperature will need to fall below your
OFF
SETTING temperature by 4° Fahrenheit (2°C) or
more, to stop the fans from running. In SMART
mode, the speed of the fan will decrease by one
level for every 4° Fahrenheit (2°C) that the PROBE
SMART Mode
temperature is below the SETTING temperature.

CONTROLLER LOCK
Holding the MODE button for three or more seconds will lock the controller. The controller will
still work as programmed. However, pressing any buttons will not have an effect and will cause
the screen lock icon to flash. This option was designed to prevent your controller settings from
being changed by accident. Holding the MODE button again for three or more seconds will
unlock the controller.

ALERT ICONS
On the bottom right of the display there are three alert icons. They are visible to show that the
system’s functions are being monitored. They will flash when the controller wishes to alert you that
a particular function is being triggered.

CHECK FAN ALERT


The check fan icon will flash when the fan’s sensor detects interference to
its operation. Please check the fan for possible issues. If the fan is rotating, it
may just be static pressure resistance and operating as intended. If the fan is
not rotating, please see the warranty page for replacement information.

ALARM ALERT
The alarm alert icon will flash when the probe temperature reaches or
exceeds the alarm temperature you have set. Please see page 19 for more
information on setting up the alarm.

DISPLAY LOCK ALERT


This icon is not visible when the controller is unlocked. The icon will flash
when any buttons are pressed while the controller is locked. To lock or unlock
the controller, hold down the MODE button for three or more seconds.
