Overview

The nVent A4AXFN Compact Axial Fan (SKU: A4AXFN) is a 4-inch, 115VAC axial fan delivering 100 CFM of airflow at 50/60Hz for industrial cooling applications. This fan features a durable black steel housing and a compact 4.62-inch diameter with 4.12-inch depth, making it ideal for space-constrained enclosures such as control cabinets, electrical panels, and telecommunications equipment. Key specifications include a maximum motor operating speed of 2415 RPM at 50Hz and 2900 RPM at 60Hz, with a noise level of 37 dB(A) at 50Hz and 41 dB(A) at 60Hz. The fan operates at 17W (50Hz) and 15W (60Hz) power consumption, drawing 0.26A (50Hz) and 0.21A (60Hz). It includes permanently lubricated ball bearings and a thermally protected split-capacitor motor for reliable, maintenance-free operation. The A4AXFN is designed for continuous operation in harsh environments, featuring a dynamically balanced polycarbonate impeller for vibration-free performance. Its lead wire power connection simplifies installation, and the fan’s compact footprint ensures compatibility with tight mounting spaces. With a free airflow of 85 CFM at 50Hz and 100 CFM at 60Hz, this fan provides efficient thermal management for sensitive electronic equipment.

How to Install the A4AXFN Compact Cooling Fan

Installation guide for mounting and wiring the A4AXFN compact cooling fan. Ensure proper airflow and electrical connections for safe operation.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Nuts, Lockwashers, Ground wire, Finger guard

  1. Verify Product Suitability

    Check the ratings on the fan label to ensure the product is suitable for your application. Refer to the datasheet for specific voltage, frequency, and phase requirements as these may vary by model.

  2. Determine Mounting Location and Airflow Direction

    Select a mounting location and establish the desired airflow direction through the fan. Arrows on the fan housing indicate airflow direction and blade rotation.

  3. Assemble Finger Guard

    Assemble the provided finger guard to either side of the fan, preferably on the side that could be reached accidentally. Additional finger guards may be available.

  4. Mount the Fan

    Secure the fan in the desired position using the supplied screws, nuts, and lockwashers. Ensure the fan is firmly attached.

  5. Wire the Fan

    Disconnect power supply before wiring. Connect the two fan leadwires to the appropriate voltage power source according to applicable local codes and ordinances. Ensure exposed wires do not contact the fan housing.

  6. Ground the Fan Housing

    Ground the fan housing using a lead sized per N.E.C. standards. Use the provided green screw to connect the separate ground wire to the fan housing slot. Ensure the grounding screw does not protrude through the fan housing.
