4-Wire PWM Fan Temperature Speed Controller DC 12–48V
PWM Fan Temperature-Controlled Speed Controller – DC 12–48V, 4-Wire
Take full command of your industrial or computer cooling fans with this precision 4-Wire PWM Fan Temperature Speed Controller by Gaqqee. Designed for wide-voltage operation (DC 11–55V), this compact module automatically adjusts fan speed based on real-time temperature readings — keeping your equipment running efficiently and quietly. Compatible with standard 4-wire EBM fans and high-voltage EC fans using 10V PWM control signals.
Made in Mainland China.
Key Features
- Wide Voltage Range: Operates on DC 11–55V, suitable for a broad range of industrial and computer fan applications.
- Dual PWM Frequency: Selectable 20kHz or 2.5kHz (±2%) output frequency for compatibility with various fan types.
- Precise Temperature Control: Measures from -9.9°C to 99.9°C with accuracy better than 1.2°C (within 0–50°C range).
- EC & EBM Fan Compatible: Supports common 4-wire EBM fans and standard high-voltage EC fans via 10V PWM signal.
- Low-Temperature Shutdown: Automatically cuts fan power via PWM disengagement or relay-extended power cut-off when temperatures fall below a set threshold.
- 3-Digit LED Display: Clearly shows fan RPM, current temperature, and operating status at a glance.
- Manual Speed Override: Directly set fan speed between 5–100% with a simple button press for fixed-output control.
- Low Power Consumption: Operating current under 0.1A — energy-efficient and board-friendly.
- Fan Alarm Output: Alarm signal port outputs a low level if the fan malfunctions during a run state.

Button Controls at a Glance
- '+' / '–' Buttons: Switch display modes during operation; adjust parameter values in setup mode (long press for rapid adjustment).
- 'OK' Button – Short Press (during operation): Enter fixed manual speed output mode (5–100%). Press again to save and exit.
- 'OK' Button – Long Press (during operation): Enter temperature parameter settings. Configure acceleration temperature (L**), full-speed temperature (H**), and shutdown temperature (C**) in sequence.
- 'OK' Button – Power-On Hold: Access function settings to configure PWM frequency (F20 / F2.5) and PWM output direction (forward / reverse).
Temperature Parameter Guide
- Acceleration Temperature (L**): Range 5–94°C. Fan speed increases proportionally above this threshold.
- Full-Speed Temperature (H**): Range 10–99°C. Fan runs at 100% PWM output at or above this value.
- Shutdown Temperature (C**): Range 0–92°C. Fan shuts down below this temperature when set above 0; setting to 0 disables low-temperature shutdown.
Note: Acceleration and full-speed temperatures must differ by at least 5°C. Shutdown and acceleration temperatures must differ by at least 2°C. The controller automatically adjusts related parameters if thresholds are breached.
LED Display Indicators
- X10 RPM: When lit, multiply the displayed value by 10 to read actual fan RPM (e.g., display "256" = 2560 RPM).
- ℃: When lit, the display shows the current temperature from the sensor probe.
- RUN: Illuminates when the fan control signal is active; extinguishes during low-temperature shutdown.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What fan types are compatible with this PWM fan speed controller?
A: This controller is compatible with standard 4-wire EBM fans and high-voltage EC fans that use a 10V PWM control signal. It supports both 20kHz and 2.5kHz PWM frequencies, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial and computer cooling fans.
Q: What voltage does the PWM fan temperature speed controller require?
A: The controller operates on a supply voltage of DC 11–55V (circuit operating voltage), making it highly versatile for various industrial and computer system setups.
Q: How does the low-temperature fan shutdown feature work?
A: When the shutdown temperature (C**) is set to a value greater than 0, the controller will automatically stop the fan — cutting both the PWM signal and relay output — when the measured temperature drops below that threshold. The fan will restart and resume speed control once the temperature rises above the set acceleration temperature again. Setting shutdown temperature to 0 disables this feature entirely.
Q: Can I manually set the fan speed without relying on temperature control?
A: Yes. A short press of the OK button during normal operation enters the fixed manual speed output mode, allowing you to set fan speed anywhere between 5% and 100% independently of temperature readings. Press OK again to save and return to automatic temperature-based control.
