PRODUCT DESCRIPTION – FumeOut™
is designed to keep your battery box 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.
FumeOut™ attaches to your
battery compartment's
4-inch, 3-inch, 2-inch or 1.5-inch vent pipe with rubber drain couplers
(included). It can also be be
ordered without any couplers - Ideal for applications where the vent
pipe size hasn't been determined yet.
HOW
IT WORKS – FumeOut™ constantly monitors your
battery bank voltage, automatically turning on its fan motor whenever the battery 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).
A DIP switch on the controller circuit board allows these settings to
be changed by the user - The turn-on voltage can be set to any value
between 2.20 and 2.46 volts per cell, in 32 increments (i.e, 13.2 to
14.8 volts for a 12 volt battery bank). The turn-off voltage can be set
to either 0.033, 0.066, 0.099 or 0.133 volts per cell below the turn-on
setting
(i.e., 0.2 to 0.5 volts for a 12 volt bank).
FumeOut™ uses
a low-voltage DC brushless fan motor - Very quiet, energy-efficient,
and safe for use in potentially explosive environments. The motor
itself is a high-quality, dual ball bearing design, and is
user-replaceable - No need to buy another entire fan if the
motor ever fails. Spare/replacement motors are available from the
factory for $44.00.
Other features include:
FAN
FAILURE ALARM –
This safety feature sounds a built-in alarm if the fan motor stalls or
fails to start.
PURGE
TIMER – When
enabled, this function runs the fan for 5 minutes every 24
hours to remove any fumes that might accumulate in between recharges. A
DIP switch on the Controller circuit board allows it to be enabled or
disabled as desired.
MULTI-VOLTAGE
OPERATION – The
Controller contains an efficient, switching-type voltage regulator that
allows the fan motor to be operated from 12, 24 or 48 volt battery
banks (maximum input is 100 DC volts). This design minimizes power
consumption - regardless of battery bank voltage - and also eliminates
any need to buy another fan when upgrading to a different battery bank
voltage.
RUGGED
CONSTRUCTION – The
fan controller circuitry is housed inside a weatherproof gasketed
enclosure, suitable for indoor or outdoor installation. The enclosure
includes a coupler for attaching standard 1/2" non-metallic
liquid-tight flexible conduit - Provides a weather-tight,
code-compliant method of connecting to your batteries.
FumeOut™
is backed by
a 1-year warranty, with
factory service and replacement parts available.
