usage of tach wire with 5v delta fans results in fan shutting off #9
Comments
Of note is that a 4020 12v Delta 4 wire fan(model THA0412AD) I have on hand does function as expected. The tested fan not working as expected is ASB02505SHA-AY6B. See attached datasheets for both fans. |
I looked at both data sheets and could not see any difference in the tach pin. |
the working fan is 12v. As best as I can tell the tach is using 15v logic. images attached in following comment. |
The tach output of a fan is an open collector output. |
oh so in this case, perhaps the reason it does not function is expected is due to the 3.3v pullup not being a 5v pullup? This is a fair bit outside of the scope of my knowledge, is there a way I could easily test to see if this is the root of the problem? |
The MCU only needs a 3.3V signal to recognize the tacho. |
When the tachometer pin on a 5 volt 3 wire Delta axial fan is used with any of the fan ports, it results in the fan shutting off instead of spinning and no tachometer output is given.
I had initially thought that there was an error with the listing for these fans, as the tachometer wire is blue instead of the typical yellow. However, when plugged into another known working device, the fan behaves as expected.
