Fan Control
Fan Control provides three different methods for controlling the internal ventilation of the
display cabinet. The Fan Control settings determine when the display fans will turn on and
off. Refer to Figure 65.

PLR Fan Control
This sets the high and low temperatures that trigger the display fans. The fans will turn on
once 10% or more of the modules exceed the High value. The fans continue to run until
all modules reach the Low value.
Brightness Fan Control
If Active, the Brightness Fan Control sets high and low brightness percentages that trigger
the display fans. The fans will turn on once the display brightness percentage reaches
the High value. The fans continue to run until the brightness percentage reaches the Low
value. The default state is Inactive.
Cabinet Fan Control
If Active, the Cabinet Fan Control sets the high and low temperatures that trigger the
display fans. The fans will turn on once the PLR temperature sensor reaches the High
value. The fans continue to run until the PLR temperature sensor reaches the Low value.
This control is used most often with the Street Furniture product line.
Note: The cabinet fan control Offset adjusts the PLR temperature sensor reading up or
down (-30 °C to +30 °C). As shown in Figure 65, if the PLR sensor reads 30 °C with
an offset of +5 °C, the effective reading is 35 °C. In this case, the fans will not be
triggered since this is below the congured high point of 40 °C.
