CABINET COOLING GUIDE
INTAKE AND EXHAUST
All cabinet fan systems should contain an
intake and an exhaust variable, which can
either be fans or ventilation holes. This is
required to balance the static pressures
between the inside and outside of the
cabinet.
FAN POSITIONING
Due to natural convection, warmer air
which is less dense than colder air will
rise on its own. It is ideal to position fans
near the top of the cabinet configured to
exhaust out the warmer air and position
fans near the bottom to push in colder air.
CFM REQUIREMENTS
A fan or set of fan’s CFM rating measures
the rate at which air flows into a space.
To obtain the required CFM rating, divide
the dimensions of a cabinet by 1728 to get
the cubic feet area then multiply by three
to account for various real world variables.

CHANGING FAN DIRECTION
STEP 1
The fans are currently drawing the air
out of the metal plate. To have the fans
blow air into the cabinet, use philips
screw driver to remove all the screws
from the front and backside of the unit.
Once completed, you should have an
aluminum fan and plastic cover. Each fan
will have eight screws, one grill, and one
fan guard per fan.
STEP 2
Identify the direction of the fans
airflow, which is towards the black
label at the center of the fan.
Then position the path of the fan’s
power cord so that it will run towards
the black label. Be prepared to slip the
cord through the plastic cover’s cord
gap.
9
CHANGING FAN DIRECTION
STEP 3
Position the fan guard on the side of
the fan that has the black label. Screw
the plastic cover onto the fans with the
fan guard in between. Please make
sure the fan’s power cord slips through
the cord gap on the plastic cover.
STEP 4
Lastly, position the grill on the
opposite side which does not contain
a black label, for each fan. Then use
a Phillips screw driver to secure the
aluminum frame back onto the fans
with the grill in between.
10
MOUNTING
STEP 1
Determine where you wish to mount
the fan and controller unit (if
purchased) on your cabinet or wall.
Position the stencils and apply tape
to the outer edges.
STEP 2
Use a pencil to outline the center
square and four outer screw holes on
the fan and thermo controller's stencils
(if purchased). Check for accuracy
before proceeding to the next step.
11
MOUNTING
STEP 3
Remove the plastic stencil and tape.
If you prefer machine screws instead
of wood screws to mount the fan and
controller, use a power drill to create
four screw holes. The Recommended
drill bit size is 10/64” to 14/64”.
STEP 4
Using a saw, cut out the center piece
as outlined by your markings from
step one. You may need to first drill a
hole at each of the corners to fit your
saw through. A power jigsaw may be
preferred for thicker wood.
12
MOUNTING
STEP 5
Place the fan unit into the newly cut
square so that each screw hole is
properly aligned. Please make sure
the cut center hole is large enough
that the plastic backside of the fan
does not come into contact with the
cabinet. This is to minimize vibrations
which cause noise.
13
STEP 6
Using the four machine screws, secure
the fan unit’s frame onto the cabinet or
wall. Push each screw through their
corresponding hole located on the frame
and wall. The included wood screws can
also be used instead.Tighten the nuts on
the other side.
POWERING
S-SERIES
You can power the fan unit by
plugging the unit’s USB male
connector into a standard USB
port, or plugging the USB male
connector into the included
power adapter through an outlet.
Then plugging the adapter into
an outlet.
T-SERIES
Plug the fan unit’s USB plug into the
USB port located on the back of the
thermal control unit. Then plug the
wall adapter’s male connector into the
thermal controller’s power plug, also
located on the back. Lastly, plug the
power adapter into an outlet.

CONNECTING MORE FANS
Each fan unit includes an USB port that enables
you to connect an additonal fan. Up to four fans
can share the same USB port, and up to six fans
can share the same power outlet. Please see
page 16 for limitations.
T-SERIES CONTROLLER
Thermal controllers can control up to six fans. Some models may contain more
than one fan. For example AIRPLATE S7 contains two fans and AIRPLATE S9
contains three fans. Fan units connected to the thermal controller will share the
same speed and temperature settings. If the fans contain an inline speed
controller, please make sure their speed is set on high.
AC INFINITY

S-SERIES CONTROLLER
SPEED CONTROLLER
The speed controller located on the cord
allows you to adjust the fan’s speed from
off to low, medium, and high. Any fans that
are daisy chained will also have their speed
changed. All setups with more than four
daisy-chained fans must have their
inlinespeed controller set to high to prevent
overloading the speed controller, e.g. two
AIRPLATE S9 units daisy-chained together
must have their speeds set to high. Please
note that AIRPLATE S3/T3 contains one fan,
AIRPLATE S7/T7 contains two fans, and
AIRPLATE S9/T9 contains three fans.
TURBO BOOST ADAPTER
The Boost Adapter is designed to maximize the
performance of our fans. Using the adapter will
increase the fan’s speed by up to 25%. If the
higher speed is too loud for your application,
use the speed controller to reduce the noise
level.

PROGRAMMING
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.
