POWERFOIL® X3.0

SMARTSENSE (PRIMARY CONTROL)

Primary fan control for completely automated fan operation. Featuring three user modes — winter, summer and manual — SmartSense eliminates human error and the hassle of fan operation by automatically matching the speed of your Big Ass Fans to seasonal conditions.

AUXILIARY CONTROLLER

Auxiliary wall-mounted digital keypad with touch controls and an LED display to control the fan’s direction, operation, speed and programming. In the unlikely event that there’s a problem, the wall controller is equipped with a simple diagnostic program to identify, troubleshoot and reprogram faults in the system. Communication between the fan’s variable speed drive (VFD) and wall controller is by a standard CAT5 (or higher) Ethernet cable, which comes standard with 150-ft of factory-assembled cable.An unlimited number of fans can be daisy chained together and operated at the same speeds.

FIRE CONTROL PANEL INTEGRATION

Includes a 10-30 VDC pilot relay for seamless fire control panel integration. The pilot relay can be wired Normally Open or Normally Closed.

BUILDING AUTOMATION SYSTEM INTEGRATION

Starting, stopping and speed control duties are handled by numerous integration protocols such as distributed I/O, Modbus ASCII/RTU (native to fan), BACnet, LONtalk, Profibus, DeviceNet and CANopen. The wall controller remains active as a display so fault messages can be viewed and toggling between output frequency and fan RPM displays can be performed.A purpose-built BACnet adapter is available that includes the following features:

  • Multiple fan control from a single adaptor node for easy installation and integration
  • Factory programmed to automatically detect Big Ass Fans equipment from Modbus inputs on the fan.
  • Auto-mapping of fan control nodes to BACnet points
  • Supported for either BACnet IP or MS/TP in one adaptor

Starting, stopping and speed control duties are handled by numerous integration protocols such as distributed I/O, Modbus ASCII/RTU, BACnet, Profibus, Ethernet /IP, DeviceNet and CANopen. The wall controller remains active as a display so that fault messages still can be viewed and toggling between output frequency and fan RPM displays can be performed.A purpose-built BACnet adapter is available that includes the following features:

  • Multiple fan control from a single adaptor node for easy installation and integration
  • Factory programmed to automatically detect Big Ass Fans equipment from Modbus inputs on the fan.

Essence

WALL CONTROLLER

Wired wall controller (standard): Low-voltage wired wall controller provides control of all fan functions and is capable of mounting to a standard electrical box or directly to a wall surface. The wall controller includes a rotary-style dial for controlling the fan’s power and speed, and an LED light to identify and relay faults in the system. Communication with the fan drive and controller is by a standard, commercially available CAT-5 (or higher) Ethernet cable. Wireless wall controller (option). The optional radio frequency (RF) remote wall controller provides control of all fan functions and is capable of mounting to a standard electrical box with an owner-supplied wall plate. Communication with the fan drive and controller is wireless.

  • Optional LED light kit can also be controlled by motion sensors and scheduling features.
0-10 V MODULE (OPTIONAL)

Haiku 0-10 V module makes it easy to integrate Haiku with a home or building automation system or virtually any third-party 0-10 V dimmer using an industry-standard protocol. The module provides independent control of fan speeds and light intensity while supporting daisy-chaining for up to 10 fans. Voltage ranges from 0 and 10 VDC to produce varying fan speeds and lighting levels using the voltage “source” standard — 0 V as off and 10 V as 100% on.

Haiku L

REMOTE CONTROL (STANDARD)

Compact remote control with the following operation modes:

  • Speeds 0 (off) through 7 (high).
  • Sleep mode
