The FC100 will smoothly increase fan speed astemperature increases from one point to the next. The control profile will be pre-determined according to the enclosure and fan characteristics.Unauthorized changes could cause over-heating.7 Select the required profile to enter. Generally this will be Controller 1, Primary Profile.8 Enter and apply values for all six temperature / power pairs.► To set fan controller modeSet Mode to any of these values:Single Controller All fans are driven from temperature sensor 1 and controller 1 profile.Dual Controller Temperature sensor 1 drives both controllers with their own profiles.Independent Controller The two controllers work independently with their own temperature sensors.
