Apex controlled fans?

[DLuce510]

Is there any 0-10v controlable cooling fans, or any way to hook one up to my Apex VDM on my diy t5 fixture?

I know some people that have used computer fans with no issues.

Do you know which ones and how? There's lots of different types of computer fans, I would think four pin at least, 2 wires for power and 2 for vdm but still not sure.

I use the Tunze fan and I switch to the hi speed and let the Apex turn it on/off when the temperature value is reached. Fans do not bring the temp down as fast as chillers so on/off should be enough...Unless I miss some other intention of the OP.

Yea not for cooling of water, cooling of internals of a t5 fixture

How about @Terence

GHL offers fan banks that can be controlled via 0-10v. You would need to modify the cable to adapt it to the Apex RJ45 1-10v interface but this would offer you full 0-10v RPM control over the fans.

You would need the fans and the propel Control 2.1
