    fans

    HI. I was wondering if any one knows how to hook up 2 fans to these drivers and do they have to be 24v . that's the size of the power supply and voltage size of the fan that comes with the system. Graham

    You could wire the extra one directly to the power supply.

    You mean to where the wires plug into the screws on the driver board, does the fan have to be 24v if the power supply is 24v? All my extra fans are 12v. thanks Ger. Graham

    Two 12 volt fans wired in series equals 24V. Wire them directly to the power supply terminals.

    Fan #1 + to fan #2 -
    Fan#1- to power supply -
    Fan #2 + to power supply +

    Or the opposite if they spin backwards.

    Is that piggy tail? I was in Canada all weekend, but didn't pick up that part of the language. I could ask my wife, as she's Canadian.
