Honeywell FC-FANWR-24R Fan Assembly Kit (24 VDC, Redundant)

Product Overview

The Honeywell FC-FANWR-24R is a Redundant Fan Module providing forced air cooling for Honeywell Safety Manager chassis and cabinets. Operating on 24 VDC, this module ensures adequate airflow to maintain safe operating temperatures for I/O modules, power supplies, and controllers. The redundant design provides continued cooling even if one fan fails, enhancing system reliability in high-temperature or high-density installations.

Key Features

• Dual Redundant Fans: Two independent fans for fault-tolerant cooling
• 24 VDC Operation: Standard industrial voltage compatibility
• Temperature Control: Thermostatic or continuous operation (verify variant)
• Status Monitoring: Fan speed and fault detection with alarm output
• Hot-Swap Capable: Replaceable without system shutdown (verify process impact)
• Filter Compatible: Accepts standard air filters for dusty environments

Installation Guide

1. Mounting: Install in designated fan slot or cabinet ventilation opening
2. Power Connection: Connect 24 VDC supply with proper polarity
3. Airflow Direction: Verify airflow direction matches system cooling design (intake vs. exhaust)
4. Filter Installation: Install air filter if operating in dusty environment
5. Monitoring: Connect fault alarm output to system monitoring

FAQ

Q: What happens if one fan fails?
A: The redundant fan continues operation. A fault alarm is generated to alert maintenance personnel. Replace the failed fan at the earliest opportunity.

Q: How often should filters be replaced?
A: Filter replacement frequency depends on environmental conditions. Inspect monthly in dusty environments; replace when visibly dirty or when airflow is restricted.

Q: Is this required for all Safety Manager installations?
A> Fan modules are recommended for high-density installations, high-temperature environments, or when chassis power dissipation exceeds passive cooling capacity. Calculate thermal requirements for your specific application.

Selection Tips

• Use for installations where passive cooling is insufficient
• Verify cabinet airflow design (intake at bottom, exhaust at top)
• Consider environmental dust levels when specifying filters
• For non-redundant applications, verify if single-fan variant is available
