Can someone please tell me how to make my load work (in this case a 12V fan) ? If I understood correctly it should turn on once the voltage exceed 15v

I hope you have a solar panel rigjt. Good! Is the battery part of the fan? Parts that work are one solar panel connected. Two battery connected . Three fan (load) connected. Once battery receives charge. The fan will work. The panel may over charge the battery. Be careful. I use a regulator. Worry free! Hope this helps.

This depends on how much voltage and amperage the fan requires. If it is a 12v and .5A then you should be fine.

The fan I purchased was made to run on 120 volt alternating current. There were wires to wire the fan directly or wire it to be controlled by a switch.

The fan stays on until the powersupply cools off --- not necessarily 15 seconds. If it's really "indefinitely", then it's broken.

it is ment for charging batteries and does not put out a full 12 volts...if your fans are run off batteries it will keep them charged

Stewart, this fan consumes too much battery power, suggest you use a small fan like used on a computer, mine works fine. Dennis

So is mine. I think that's just the way it's designed. Having the fan thermostatically controlled doesn't imply that the fan should necessarily be off at no load.I run mid-power radio transceivers with this supply. It's pretty apparent just listening to the fan speed whether the radio is idle, transmitting at 5W, or going all out at 100W.

Mine works great. You must have already tried adjusting the thermostat on the small electrical box that is attached to the fan. Actually my fan turns on at the right time, but fails to turn off soon enough for my taste. This is because the hysteresis is a bit much. I hope this helps, stay cool.

ok-not an electrician-but here is the info on bottom of fan...120VAC 60Hz 0.29A 35W conforms to UL standard.507certified to CSA standard.C22 .2...hope that helps.

Yes, I had the same problem. You don't have to rewire your fan, just put your batteries in it and go for it! Gary

i used a transformer, relay and low voltage thermostat. I would assume if the switch you use is 110v to the fan it would be fine

You need a 12VDC power supply - could be a wall-wart you might already have, or some other power supply. I found an inexpensive 12V power supply on Amazon that I used in my project that powered the fan, as well as some other circuitry (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002FH54L6/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1). Then you need to wire the fan to the supply - either solder the wires, use terminals or wire nuts, etc.

Sorry for your problem but I can't be sure my experience will help you. Mine was direct-wired and burned out in a thunderstorm. Replaced it with a different version. Fan still works fine.

Check the capacity of the circuit you have it plugged into. This needs to be on a 20A circuit as it will draw up to 17A, depending on your power supply. That is, BY ITSELF on a 20A circuit.The MINIMUM current draw will be 15A and that is already too much for a 15A circuit, you will likely blow the circuit. If it doesn't blow the circuit as soon as you plug it into a 15A circuit (and turn it on), there is something wrong with your wiring.

You need and adapter to plug into a free molex on your power supply usually with 2-3 extra fan plugs . Or wire them directly to the power supply with any free molex you have Red wire = 9 volts Yellow wire = 12 volts and black is ground . I have used both methods with great success

I've heard of 6 volt, 12 volt, 110-120 volt and 240 volt, but never 15 volt. Sorry. Can't help you. But, why don't you call the Fantastic Fan people and see what they have to say. A terrific company. Good Luck.

This is a 12V. Fan, you cold apply 12v. directly (Ground and +12V.) and it will work at it's maximum speed (google "pc fan connector" to find out) The connector is: |Ground - +12v - Speed sensor - Speed control| However this is intended as a computer fan, i will not recommended it for any other use.
