Duty-standby ventilation fan selection

Assigns the available room ventilation fans to the documented duty and standby roles. Ventilation control coordinates the equipment that manages heat and air movement in an electrical room. A temperature request, a fan command and proof of airflow are separate signals, and the room design determines how they interact.

A distinction that matters

A standby fan does not prove adequate airflow. This reference describes the named application; it does not establish a new IEC graphical symbol, an ANSI device-function number or an exact manufacturer connection diagram.

Ventilation fan automatic changeover

Transfers the documented ventilation duty when the active fan becomes unavailable. Ventilation control coordinates the equipment that manages heat and air movement in an electrical room. A temperature request, a fan command and proof of airflow are separate signals, and the room design determines how they interact.
