Programming HVLS Fans With Digital Fan Controllers

Installing a high-volume, low-speed (HVLS) ceiling fan is a straightforward process, but can be daunting until you’ve done it once or twice. With the proper instructions, you can install your fan and have it cool down your space in no time. In this article, we'll provide a step-by-step guide on how to install an industrial ceiling fan in your space, covering everything from choosing the right location to installing the digital controller. By following these instructions, you can ensure successful HVLS fan installation and enjoy the benefits of an HVLS ceiling fan for years to come.

Fan Airflow Controlled Digitally

Digital fan controllers have revolutionized how industrial HVLS ceiling fans are programmed and controlled. With digital fan controllers, it's possible to program complex fan schedules, adjust fan speeds remotely and monitor fan airflow in real time. In this article, we'll explore the benefits of programming HVLS fans with digital fan controllers, explain how they work and provide tips for optimizing fan performance and energy efficiency.

Programming HVLS Fans Made Easy

You have better things to do than fuss over the performance of your high-volume, low-speed (HVLS) industrial fans. With the help of network-capable digital fan controls, you can manage many of the functions that used to require constant monitoring. Thanks to modern advances in digital fan controllers, you can set up your industrial fans and let them handle your air flow efficiently.

 

           


The Features You Want in Energy-Efficient Fans

Once you install industrial fans, adding digital fan controllers is a matter of "plug and play" connectivity. You'll then be able to control all the necessary functions of your HVLS energy-efficient fans from your controller. Depending on the size and type of system you choose, you'll be able to manage a single fan or a zone containing up to 30 fans.

Network Capability

Whether you're in charge of a factory that runs 24/7 or you oversee a distribution center that operates from 9-5, you can program industrial fans to be on the job when they're needed and not a minute more. Setting a schedule will be determined by several factors, including the climate, when large machinery is running and when workers are present. Keeping to a schedule ensures you get your money's worth from these energy-efficient fans.

Scheduled Run Times

Today's digital fan controllers are usually managed over an ethernet-based network. In a typical set-up, the digital fan controller is connected to an Ethernet switch, which is then connected to a central control system, such as a building automation system. The central control system can then send commands to the digital fan controller over the Ethernet connection, such as setting the fan speed or turning the fan on and off.

Speed Control

Using digital fan controllers to manage speed allows for more precise control over air movement, creating a more comfortable environment by reducing hot spots and cold drafts. Controlling the speed also optimizes the energy efficiency of your HVLS fan, resulting in significant energy savings.. Finally, reducing the fan speed when less air movement is needed reduces the wear and tear and extends the life of your HVLS fans.
