Setting the kW setpoint too low could damage the equipment in the enclosure. If the amount of kW in your enclosure falls between two of the numbers on the setpoint dial, choose the higher number or set based on exhaust temperature.

When the temperature override is enabled and the temperature in the rack rises above 40.5° C (105° F), the Rack Air Removal Unit will automatically increase the fan speed to bring the temperature below 40.5° C (105° F).

When in kW mode and using a UPS that is 3000VA or lower, disable the temperature override to prevent the power draw from exceeding the limitations of the UPS.

The UPS should not be loaded above 80% when using the Rack Air Removal Unit.

Temperature override

The kW settings on the fan speed selector run the fans at a constant speed, while the exhaust temperature settings adjust the fan speed depending on the exhaust temperature of the equipment in the rack. The Rack Air Removal Unit is equipped with a temperature override that protects the equipment in the rack while the unit is in kW mode. If the unit is in kW mode, and the exhaust temperature rises above 40.5° C (105° F) (the override setpoint), the unit increases the fan speed to remove excess heat from the rack.
