FAN CONTROL PANEL

SE Controls variable speed fan control panel for smoke ventilation systems

The SE Controls Fan Control Panels are fixed modular designs, built and tested to provide a method of operating a single 415V three phase 50Hz duty/standby fan arrangement. They are available in variable speed and fixed speed versions.

Variable speed fan control panel

Built around an industrial PLC, the variable speed panel offers the following features:

  • Industrial PLC logic driven system
  • Duty fan and standby fan control
  • Multiple fan speed control via industrial inverter, enabling firefighting and/or means-of-escape operational modes
  • External firefighter’s key switch control (auto/off, auto/boost)
  • Simple hard-wired activation or more involved network signal activation
  • Multiple panels can be networked together for highly specialised multiple fan operation across multiple shafts
  • Reversible fan operation if required for twin shaft/triple shaft push/pull systems
  • Pressure sensor monitoring to prevent excessive negative pressure in the activated zone
  • Ability to use duty/standby fans as NV fans for day-to-day operation
  • Ability to power additional single phase or three phase NV fans
  • Ductwork damper control
  • System state indication on the panel face via LEDs
  • Activation/healthy volt-free contacts for BMS monitoring
  • Fan panel status can be viewed via the associated SHEVTEC repeater panel

Fixed speed fan control panel

The fixed speed panel provides the following features:

  • Duty fan and standby fan control
  • External firefighter’s key switch control (auto/off)
  • Simple hard-wired activation
  • Pressure sensor switch input for changeover on duty fan failure
  • System state indication on the panel face via LEDs
  • Activation/healthy volt-free contacts for BMS monitoring
  • Fan panel status can be viewed via the associated SHEVTEC repeater panel
