GE Fanuc IC697ACC621 Series 90-70 120V AC Rack Fan Assembly

Product Overview

The GE Fanuc IC697ACC621 is a high-efficiency AC-powered cooling solution designed for the Series 90-70 and RX7i PLC racks. This dual-fan assembly is critical for maintaining stable internal temperatures, ensuring the reliability of high-performance CPU and I/O modules in 5-slot or 9-slot configurations.

Equipped with two heavy-duty axial fans, the IC697ACC621 provides an airflow of approximately 30-35 CFM per fan. It operates on a standard 120V AC input and is engineered for longevity, boasting an expected lifespan of 40,000 hours at continuous operation. Its ultra-low noise output (below 40 dBA) makes it an ideal choice for control room environments where acoustic comfort is a priority.

Technical Specifications

Key Performance Features

• Dual-System Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with both Series 90-70 expansion racks and the more modern RX7i 9-slot chassis.
• Flexible Mounting: The assembly supports both horizontal and vertical mounting positions, allowing for versatile installation in constrained panel spaces.
• Integrated Filtration: Features specialized filters (Model 621 variation) to protect PLC components from airborne dust while maintaining maximum CFM airflow.
• Wide Storage Range: Durable enough to be stored in extreme environments ranging from -40 to +85 degrees Celsius without degrading component integrity.

Installation & Integration

The IC697ACC621 is designed for user-friendly installation. At just 4 pounds, it can be easily secured to the rack frame. The unit is pre-configured to operate within a standard voltage range of 108V to 132V AC. For optimal cooling, ensure the filter is inspected periodically to prevent airflow restriction, which can impact the 40,000-hour service rating.

Technical FAQs

Q1: Can this fan assembly be used with 240V AC power?
A1: No, the IC697ACC621 is rated specifically for 120V AC. Using a higher voltage will damage the axial fan motors.

Q2: How often should the filters be replaced?
A2: Filter life depends on the environment. In standard factory settings, inspection is recommended every 6 months to maintain the 30-35 CFM airflow per fan.

Q3: Is this assembly compatible with RX3i racks?
A3: This model is specifically sized for Series 90-70 and RX7i racks. RX3i racks generally use different cooling accessories tailored to their smaller form factor.
