I recommend using the AUX relays to trigger a
separate relay which will pass current from the
DC source to the fan. In this case you would want
to use a 24 V vent fan. With this system, the
higher the voltage the faster the fan. The AUX
relay will never be subject to overcurrent, and the fan
Interesting but the price puts higher than a Zephyr and a Solar
Converters Simple Switch, which is about the same thing with a backdraft
preventer.

If you do not have auxiliary relays to work with, try looking up FumeOut
by LSL Products. They make a nice vent fan with a dedicated voltage
controller. Only downside is it does not have a back draft damper such as
the zephyr does. But it uses 2" pvc so if you wanted to get creative and
make a back
Gary,
No, the fan is turned on to forcibly exhaust gasses released by
charging, rather than based on temperature, so voltage-based
control is exactly what's desired. Take a look at
www.zephyrvent.com; that's what we're addressing.

If you are trying to run the fan while the magnum is charging you can just
run a 12V converter run your zephyr off of the ac power supply or just get
a small ac fan. If you are trying to run it when charging from other
sources look for the AUX relays in the charge controllers like the above
mentio
Yes, with the 24V fan, you will need to run battery power (or another 24VDC
source) through the contacts. That's the reason I opt for 12V vent fans
typically, so they can be served with the 12VDC Aux source from the charge
controller.

Hi Chris,
If you have a Magnum router in this system, you do have access to an aux
contact otherwise you'll need an external relay.
Good luck

The Magnums do not have relays available like the old SWs, but you can
run a Zephyr directly from either a Outback FM controller or a Midnite
Classic. Both have a controlled 200 mA, 12 output. I've had occasional
trouble running the Zephyr because as weird as this sounds: the fan can

Dear folks:
Has anyone hooked up a battery vent fan, being turned on and off using just
a Magnum MS4024PAE inverter? Is there some AUX output that can be used?
Thanks as always for your help!
