PRODUCT DESCRIPTION – FumeOut™
is designed to keep your battery compartment free of the fumes that are
normally generated during recharging or equalization.
Consisting mostly of hydrogen and oxygen, these gases can become
explosive if allowed to accumulate in the battery compartment or other
enclosed spaces. By
drawing them outdoors,
FumeOut™ performs an essential safety function.
HOW
IT WORKS – The FumeOut™ Fan Controller monitors your
battery bank voltage, automatically turning on the FumeOut™ Exhaust Fan whenever the voltage
becomes high enough to cause gassing.
The Controller is factory-calibrated to turn the Fan on if the battery
voltage exceeds 2.33 volts per cell, (i.e., 14.0 volts for a 12-volt
battery bank) and to shut off the Fan when the voltage drops to 2.30
volts per cell (i.e., 13.8 volts for a 12 volt bank). Different Fan
turn-on or turn-off voltages can be user-programed by pressing the Set Von or Set Voff
buttons as soon as the battery voltage reaches the new desired
setpoint. Pressing and holding either button for several seconds
restores both settings to their factory-calibrated values. All settings
are stored in non-volatile RAM.
The Fan uses a 12 volt DC brushless motor, and fits standard 2" I.D.
PVC pipe (typically plumbed between the battery compartment and
outdoors). The Fan's pipe fittings are offset to one corner of the
enclosure, for easier installation in tight spaces. The Controller can
be attached to a metal bracket (included) on the side of the Fan, or
can be remote-mounted in any convenient location.
Other features include:
FAN
FAILURE ALARM –
This safety feature sounds a built-in alarm if the fan motor stalls or
fails to start. Provision is also included for connecting an external
alarm.
PURGE
TIMER –
When enabled, this function runs the Exhaust Fan for 5 minutes every 24
hours to remove any fumes that might accumulate in between recharges. A
jumper plug on the Controller enables or disables it.
MULTI-VOLTAGE
OPERATION –
The Controller contains a built-in voltage regulator that allows the
same 12 volt Fan to be operated from 12, 24 or 48 volt battery banks.
This efficient switching regulator design minimizes power consumption,
regardless of battery bank voltage.
RUGGED
CONSTRUCTION –
The Controller is encapsulated inside a solid block of epoxy, and uses
sealed pushbutton switches and a moisture-resistant terminal block. The
Exhaust Fan motor is housed inside a gasketed, airtight PVC enclosure,
and is field-replaceable.
Both the Fan and Controller are backed by a 1-year warranty, with
factory service and replacement parts available.
