3U fan tray with temperature sensor

The Tripp Lite SRFAN3UTEMP occupies three rack units in a standard 19-inch enclosure. Two 12 VDC high-performance fans move air through the blanking panel to cool dense equipment installations. A six-foot sensor cable lets operators measure temperature at any height inside the cabinet. The unit suits network managers who need active airflow and local readouts in a single 3U slot.

Thermals, noise and power draw

The tray plugs into a 120 V AC 60 Hz supply through a NEMA 1-15P plug with a six-foot cord. Fans run from the internal 12 VDC supply to push cool air across populated shelves. The sensor reports temperatures from minus 58 to 302 degrees Fahrenheit with an accuracy of two degrees Fahrenheit or one degree Celsius. No acoustic or power-consumption figures are supplied by the manufacturer.

Blanking panel, sensor and LCD

The black powder-coated blanking panel seals unused rack openings to stop hot air recirculation and improve cooling efficiency. A front-panel LCD displays the current temperature reading from the remote probe in real time. The six-foot sensor reaches upper sections of deep cabinets to detect hot spots that fixed probes would miss. No configuration software or management utilities are included with the hardware.

Questions about this item

How do I install the SRFAN3UTEMP in a 19-inch rack and what step is often missed?

Mount the 3U blanking panel into the EIA-standard 19-inch rack using cage nuts, plug the NEMA 1-15P cord into a 120V AC 60 Hz outlet, then route the six-foot temperature sensor probe to the hot spot you want to monitor.

What maintenance or replacement will the SRFAN3UTEMP need later?

The two 12VDC high-performance fans are the only moving parts; plan to replace them when bearing noise increases or airflow drops, and verify the LCD still reads within 2°F and 1°C accuracy.

What limit appears first when the SRFAN3UTEMP runs continuously under load?

The fans are rated for 120V AC 60 Hz input; sustained operation beyond the sensor range of -58°F to 302°F or -50°C to 150°C will exceed the monitoring capability before the hardware itself fails.
