Fan Delta TFC1212DE With S5 Help

[marvykkio]

guys I need help, I received the Delta TFC1212DE fan, I related to the miner in the controller, and do not start, can anyone help?

do you mean that you connected it to the controller? I am not sure what do you mean by "related".
Is there only one way to plug it in (if not, than try in reverse)
In addition, it uses almost 4A (3.9A; ~47 W). Is S5 controller capable to provide this much? I am not sure.
If it will not work, you would have to power it directly from PSU through molex adapter, but you will not have PWM feature then, just maximum speed

i had to build an adapter for mine as the one i got had a reversed pwm controller.. sounds like the same one you got, if it doesnt have 5v on the pwm line it wont start up.. this is backwards from normal fans that have 0v on pwm to start up and 5v to stop.


i would not power this fan from the s5 board.. i would power it from molex (black and yellow).. and then use the blue and yellow wire from the fan connected to the s5 controller..
you cant just plug in the cables tho, you have to make an adpater with resistors and such.. its not easy if you dont know what you are doing.



in case you do know what you are doing, this is the adapter. i used two 1k ohm and one 10k ohm resistor (this limits the speed on that fan to about 80%), and a npn transistor. the arrow on the transistor is up.
