Rite-Hite updates fans management system

The new Fan Commander 2.0 is a touch-screen control box which enables operators to remotely control fan settings via Wi-Fi from a single location. The new Fan Commander 2.0 can coordinate the operation of up to 24 high-volume, low-speed (HVLS) Rite-Hite fans, located up to 120 metres apart.

Fans can be arranged into four separate zones and still be operated simultaneously or independently, as well as being turned on and off. Fan speeds are also adjustable in 1% increments between the 20% and 100% settings. Weekly schedules can also be programmed, allowing fans to operate only when needed, hence maximising energy saving.

Additionally, the new Fan Commander 2.0, can be fully integrated within a Building Management System (BMS), enabling users to run diagnostics with other building functions, providing further energy saving capabilities and delivering greater employee comfort.

Thorsten Mauritz, marketing manager (Europe) at Rite-Hite, says Fan Commander 2.0 is a great energy saving product: “The Fan Commander 2.0 puts facilities managers in total control of their fans,” he explains.

“In the winter months, the fans only operate when needed, reducing energy consumption and reducing costs. In the summer, when fans are in greater demand, they can be programmed to deliver the optimum performance, taking into account different working patterns and the busiest times of the day.”
