Intake and Exhaust
- This fan can be used as either an intake fan or an exhaust fan in grow rooms and larger grow tents. To achieve optimal whole space ventilation, the intake fan or opening - if not using a fan - must be situated at a bottom corner of your grow space. The exhaust fan must be hung (shown below) or mounted at the highest opposite corner possible.
- Make sure the intake fan’s airflow arrow is pointing towards your grow space and the exhaust fan’s arrow pointing away from your grow space.
FAN SPEED ADJUSTING
The controller features a single button that controls the fan speed from 0-8. Pressing the speed button increases the fan speed in one unit increments. Pressing the button at the 8 setting will set the fan speed back to 0.
POWERING ON/OFF
Holding the speed button for 4 seconds will turn the fan OFF. Pressing it again from OFF will turn the fan ON at its last speed setting.
MODE SETTING
Pressing the Mode button will cycle through the controller’s available programming modes and settings: ON Mode, OFF Mode, TIMER Mode, AUTO Mode (4 triggers), ALARM Settings (4 settings).
ON MODE
In this mode, the fan will run continuously regardless of temperature or humidity. Use this mode to set the fan's maximum blowing strength, ranging from 0-10, when triggers are activated.
OFF MODE
In this mode, the fan will not run regardless of temperature or humidity. Pushing the up or down button will change the display’s brightness, ranging in 1/2/3/A3. On setting A3, the display will dim its brightness down to 1 if the device is left unattended for 30 seconds. Holding the up or down button will change the display’s units to F or C, respectively.
KEY FEATURES

INSTALLATION
STEP 1 Unscrew and loosen the metal rings using a Phillips screwdriver and pliers.
STEP 2 Remove the motor box from the flange bracket.
STEP 3 Use the flange bracket to set your desired fan position. Mark the four mounting holes.
STEP 4 Drill four holes into the marked locations. Make sure your mounting area is structurally sound and free from obstruction.
STEP 5 If you are mounting onto anything other than a wood support or stud. insert the included four wall anchors into the drilled mounting holes.
STEP 6 Align the flange bracket’s holes with the wall anchors. Screw in four wood screws with a screwdriver or drill to secure the flange bracket.
STEP 7 Place the wind circle back into the intake flange and reposition the metal clamps over the flanges if applicable.
STEP 8 Slide the motor box back into the flange bracket. making sure its airflow arrow is pointing in the same direction as the flange bracket’s arrow. Tighten the metal clamps using a Phillips screwdriver and pliers to secure the motor box.
STEP 9 Place the metal rings back onto the flanges and tighten the screws back to secure the fan.
STEP 10 If installing ducting. use the included duct clamps to secure it to either end of the duct fan. making sure there is a tight seal. Tighten the duct clamps using a flathead screwdriver.
STEP 11(a) - Hanging Upward If installing with rope hangers (sold separately). loop the ropes around the flanges and tighten the rope to secure the fan.
STEP 11(b) - Hanging Downward You may also hang the fan by looping the rope hangers around its mounting plate. Tighten the rope to secure the fan.
Make sure the fan’s airflow arrow is pointing towards your desired direction.

CLOUDLINE FAQ
Q: I am missing my controller. It wasn't included in my package!
A: Please refer to page 7 for an image of what your controller should look like. Your controller should be neatly slotted in the box by this product manual.
Q: Where is the best place to position the sensor probe?
A: Place the sensor probe as close as possible to the hottest or most humid spot in your space.
Q: Do I need to remove the plastic cap from the probe?
A: Yes. You will need to remove the plastic cap so the probe can accurately read climate conditions.
Q: Can I mount this inline duct fan vertically?
A: Yes. The CLOUDLINE can be mounted in any orientation. including vertically.
Q: Will I be able to hardwire this fan to my own controller or thermostat?
A: We do not recommend hardwiring or splicing our fan's power wires. Such modifications may compromise electrical safety and will void this product's warranty.
Q: Do I need to use a power converter if I'm outside the US?
A: This product's voltage range is 100-240V AC. You may need a simple travel adapter to plug it into a foreign socket. or a power converter if your country uses a different voltage.
CLOUDLINE FAQ
Q: Does the controller retain its settings after power is shut off?
A: Yes. If the controller's power is cut off and is powered on afterwards. your settings will remain.
Q: What is the CFM of each of the different fan speeds?
A:Please contact customer support to request the CFM distribution of your CLOUDLINE model.
Q: I'm not getting enough airflow even after setting the fan speed to 10. What can I do?
A: Bends in ducting will reduce your fan's CFM performance. To retain airflow. you may straighten the ducting and eliminate as many bends as possible.
Q: Should I use this inline duct fan as an intake or an exhaust fan?
A: The CLOUDLINE is primarily used as an exhaust fan. but can be used as an intake fan as well.
You may use this fan as an intake fan if you need fresh air into your space.
Q: Can I connect different sized fans to the same controller?
A: Please refer to page 19 for details on daisy chaining fans together.
