APC Easy UPS On-Line SRV Series 1000VA - fan always on - how to turn off?

Hello!

 

We are a small NGO and our APC Easy UPS On-Line SRV Series 1000VA fans keep on running all the time - even in Green Mode. The temp is far under the threshold. What can we do to spare energy and let the fan work only if there is no power etc, as we read in the post (https://community.se.com/t5/APC-UPS-Data-Center-Backup/Smart-UPS-1500-fan-always-on/m-p/337692/highl...). Thanks in advance for your help! Would appreciate it.

 

Best regards from Berlin,

Timm

I have exactly the same problem. Does some one know how to update fan speeds?

If your specific model UPS had a firmware update to address this issue - than yes.

 

Regardless of any firmware update APC does not incorporate a PWM fan on any of the lower end devices. Nor do they offer any user adjustable control over the fan speed, high / low limit, dwell / hysteresis 🤦‍♂️👎

 

As such, the fan speed is fixed and depending upon specific model. The fan will either be on continuously at a lower RPM when the internal temperature is adequate, than kick into high RPM when the internal temperature threshold has been reached. This behaviour is seen in all On-Line double conversion systems.

 

Other models the fan only comes on when hot, charging, on battery only mode. This is seen on many of the Line Interactive systems.

 

Other systems either don’t incorporate a fan such as the smaller Back-UPS. Or the fan cycles on-off-on / on-off depending upon how it was programmed by the manufacturer as seen in the Back-UPS Pro line.

There is no (user adjustable) option for a On-Line Double Conversion UPS. The internal fan runs continuously at a slow RPM to keep the inverter circuit cool.

Hello friends,

I have found a definitive solution to the noise issue of the APC Easy UPS On-Line SRV Series 1000VA-2000VA-3000VA, and now it’s almost completely silent. I’m planning to make a video about it. If anyone is interested, I can share it with you soon.

Currently, in a closed environment, the APC Easy UPS On-Line SRV Series 3000VA UPS has been running for 24 hours, maintaining an operating temperature of 26 degrees Celsius. It emits very little noise and has become suitable for use in an office environment. I need another UPS to record my procedures on video and upload them to YouTube. My sharing may take some time.

Hey EMPTEKNOLOJI, looking into the noise issue myself atm.

I'd just buy some silen Noctua fans or sth. But if you have found a better solution, could you please share either what you did or the video that you planned to record?

Thanks so much

Hey friend. First, I removed the front fans from their sockets. Then, I attached an old Intel CPU cooler fan to the grilled/vented area on the back. Since the original fans didn’t have PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), they were always spinning at high RPM. Now, the system is super quiet, and there’s no fan error. The internal temperature is 26°C in a closed environment, and the external ambient is 22°C. You only need to connect the positive and negative wires to the socket—the 3rd and 4th wires aren’t necessary."  Also, you can secure the processor  fan to the back of the UPS with a plastic clamp."

Hello EMPTEKNOLOJI, I am very interested in your solution. If you can make a Youtube video, please do.

Does your solution void warranty, or can you always reverse the changes?

Hey, thanks for the answer.
I have ordered some fans as well. Hadn't read your reply yet when I ordered, but I also decided to attach a cooler on the outside.
I also ordered 2 70mm fans to replace the original ones. But reading your reply, it seems that that's not even necessary. Wil have to wait a bit until everything is here and then do some testing.

Thanks again.
