Fan Functions

Reading the Model Code

The YCC model code gives the fan type, speed class, size, bearing, voltage and frame variant in that order. Example: YDH1238B24F is a 120 × 120 × 38 mm DC axial fan in the high speed class, with two ball bearings, for 24 V; F marks a different impeller and frame variant.

Models with the bearing letter X are offered with more than one bearing; the options are listed in the model table and chosen when you add the model to your quote list.

Parts of the model code

FG: Frequency Generator (Tachometer)

While the fan runs, the FG output gives pulses proportional to speed, so the system can read the actual fan speed. When the fan is locked and stops, the output stays at a high or a low level, depending on the model.

The output is taken from a transistor inside the fan and pulled up to Vcc through resistor R in the customer circuit. Select R so that the link current stays below 5 mA. Vcc is at most the fan's operating voltage; Vce is at most 0.7 V.

RD and RRD: Alarm Signal

The alarm output reports with a single level whether the fan is turning. RD (alarm high): the output is low while the fan runs and goes high when the fan is locked and stops. RRD (alarm low): the output is high while the fan runs and goes low when the fan stops.

The connection is the same as for FG: select R so that the link current stays below 5 mA; Vce is at most 0.7 V.

Auto Restart (Locked Rotor Protection)

When the fan is locked, the current is reduced to 0.02 ~ 0.04 A. After several seconds the fan tries to restart; if it is still locked, the current is shut down again. In the diagram T1 is the wait time (2.5 ~ 10 s) and T2 the restart attempt (0.3 ~ 1.5 s).

PWM Speed Control

Fan speed is set with a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal on the blue wire. The signal frequency may be 300 Hz to 30 kHz; the pulse high level must be 2.8 – 10 V and the low level at most 0.6 V. The duty cycle (Ton / T) ranges from 0 to 100 % and the speed rises with it.

Behaviour at low duty cycle depends on the model; the catalogue gives three curve types (the axis below is for an example fan).

Soft Start

When the fan is powered on, the current rises gradually; the fan generally reaches its rated speed within 15 seconds.
