HIMax X-FAN system fan

Installation and Startup

4.1 Installation location and environment

The system fan must be installed directly above the HIMax base plate.

To ensure good airflow circulation, sufficient space should be reserved above and below the fan. For high air volume models with backplate installation, 1U space needs to be reserved above and below; For low-noise models, 2U of space needs to be reserved.

The installation location must meet environmental requirements: temperature from 0 to 60 ° C, humidity ≤ 95% (no condensation), altitude<2000 m.

4.2 Power Connection

Peel off the insulation layer at the end of the connecting cable, with a length of 6mm.

According to the terminal definition table, insert the cable into terminals 1 to 4 of the connector plug.

Use a 0.4 x 2.5 mm slot screwdriver to tighten the terminals with a torque of 0.2-0.25 Nm.

If using a single power supply, be sure to install a jumper between terminals 5 and 3.

Diagnosis and maintenance

5.1 LED Diagnosis

Green Run LED: It lights up when there is sufficient power supply.

Red Error LED: It lights up when faults such as low voltage, blocked fan, or low speed are detected.

5.2 Fault Relay

By monitoring the contact status of the relay, the control system can remotely determine the health status of the fan.

5.3 Maintenance and Replacement

The X-FAN system fan contains moving parts and is a consumable with a lifespan. HIMA recommends regularly replacing fans and sending them back to HIMA for maintenance based on the operating environment temperature

Under normal operating temperature (<40 ° C): Replace every 6 years.

At higher operating temperatures (>40 ° C): replace every 3 years.

When replacing, the same model or a replacement model approved by HIMA must be used. Operators need to have knowledge of ESD protection.
