  • Page 5: Network Wiring Requirements

    Daisy Chain Networked MacroAir fans must be connected in one single line, referred to in this document as a “daisy chain”. The characteristics of a proper daisy chain are: one beginning (Controller 4) and one end (last fan). If the fans are not connected in one line/chain there will be a de-gradation of the communication signal and the network may not function as intended (fans in the network may not operate).
