Overview

The nVent AFANTSC (SKU: AFANTSC) is a panel-mount fan speed control engineered for meticulous airflow regulation within industrial enclosures, server racks, and environments where noise reduction is paramount. This unit operates reliably at 120V, with a frequency compatibility of 50/60Hz, and is constructed from durable gray polycarbonate. Its core functionality lies in its ability to automatically modulate fan speed in response to input from a remote temperature sensor. The desired temperature set point is adjustable in the field, with a factory preset of 35°C (95°F). Further customization is offered through adjustable idle speed and temperature slope settings, allowing for fine-tuning of the cooling response. For enhanced operational safety and protection, the AFANTSC incorporates a push-to-reset thermal circuit breaker. Powering the connected fan is facilitated by a standard NEMA 5-15R outlet. The compact housing design permits mounting in any orientation, offering installation flexibility. The unit is supplied with a remote temperature sensor featuring a 10-foot lead for convenient placement. The nVent AFANTSC is UL 508 and cUL Listed, ensuring compliance with rigorous safety standards. Its physical dimensions are 2.37 inches in height, 1.31 inches in width, and 1.55 inches in depth. The maximum nominal current handling capacity of this device is 2 Amps.
