How to Use the Rhino Ultra EC Fan
The Rhino Ultra EC Fan is designed for a simple and effective setup. Mount the fan securely using the built-in brackets. Connect it to your chosen ducting and carbon filter, ensuring the airflow direction is correct. You can then use the included Varispeed controller for manual speed adjustment, or connect it to a compatible EC fan controller (Compatible with RJ45 and 3-pin controllers using the adapters supplied. A jack plug controller can be used by plugging directly into the fan.) for automated, thermostatic management of your grow room environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main difference between the Rhino Ultra EC Fan and a silenced version?
The main difference is the external casing. The Rhino Ultra Silent EC Fan features a cylindrical body with noise-dampening foam, which significantly reduces operating noise. This fan, while still quieter than many AC models, does not have this acoustic insulation and is primarily focused on delivering maximum airflow and pressure.Can I use this fan with any carbon filter?
Yes, the Rhino Ultra EC fan is designed to work with various carbon filters. For optimal air extraction and to ensure the best contact time with the carbon bed, it is recommended to pair it with a Rhino Pro Carbon Filter of the corresponding size.What does the soft start function do?
The soft start function prevents sudden power surges by slowly increasing the fan's motor speed to your preset setting. This protects the fan's components from wear and tear and safeguards your grow room's electrical system from overload.How do I achieve automated temperature control with this fan?
While the fan comes with a manual Varispeed controller, it is compatible with a range of EC fan controllers, such as the Rhino EC Fan Controller. These controllers can be equipped with a thermal probe to automatically adjust the fan speed based on your desired temperature settings.SKU: 1416Rhino Ultra EC Fan
