Installation Guidelines
For optimal performance and longevity, follow these installation recommendations:
-
Mounting Orientation: Install the fan to create positive airflow through the enclosure, typically with intake at the bottom and exhaust at the top.
-
Clearance Requirements: Maintain at least 10mm clearance around the fan for proper airflow and heat dissipation.
-
Wiring Considerations: Use appropriate gauge wire for the 0.78A current draw and ensure proper polarity for DC operation.
-
Vibration Isolation: Use rubber grommets or vibration dampeners when mounting to reduce noise and prevent resonance.
-
Filter Installation: Consider adding dust filters for applications in dusty environments to extend fan life.
