Middle Atlantic Products Rolls Out Enhanced Designer Inspired Ultra Quiet Fan Panels At CEDIA 2007

September 11, 2007

As part of its comprehensive product improvement initiative, Middle Atlantic Products opened CEDIA 2007 by introducing the newly enhanced, Designer Inspired Ultra Quiet Fan Panels (UQFP) with dimmable display. The Designer Inspired UQFP is the first of many new product enhancements, available at no extra cost, that enable custom residential integrators to more effectively provide proper space, power, cable and thermal management solutions throughout their customers’ enclosure systems. Available in a silver or black anodized finish, Middle Atlantic Products’ Designer Inspired UQFP’s faceplate features a dimmable blue LED display that allows end-users to reduce or increase the display brightness simply by touching it. The UQFP display shows the enclosure's temperature, monitors fan speed and automatically scrolls fan failure and over-temperature alert messages. “Middle Atlantic Products’ commitment to product excellence does not stop once a product is first launched,” said Mark Tracy, Director of Marketing, Middle Atlantic Products. “The new enhancements that we are introducing will help make an immediate impact on various elements of our customers’ business, from improved efficiency to increased functionality. We are very excited to begin shipping these newly enhanced products and to see the great results that our integrator partners will be able to achieve.” Unlike standard rack fans that require manual on/off control, UQFP fans activate automatically at 80° F and operate at speeds proportionate to the temperature inside the enclosure, maintaining a safe temperature, minimizing noise and maximizing fan life. If the temperature in the rack rises above a user-definable set point, the fan panel relays an alert locally to its LCD, as well as to a third party remote control via contact closure. Middle Atlantic Products UQFP panels occupy two rackspaces and feature four ultra quiet fans that never emit more than 27 dB of noise. With an intelligent digital processor that varies fan speed proportionate to internal cabinet temperature and a remote notification system that indicates fan failure or overheating, custom home integrators can now monitor fan performance regularly, troubleshoot easier and address excessive heat before it becomes a problem.
