Middle Atlantic UQFP Series Ultra Quiet Fan Panel – 100 CFM DC Fan Panel with Display

The Middle Atlantic UQFP Series Ultra Quiet Fan Panel is engineered for professional AV and IT environments where robust cooling must coexist with a quiet, distraction-free workspace. The UQFP-4 model delivers up to 100 CFM of steady airflow, keeping racks and enclosures at optimal temperatures even under demanding workloads. Operating at an impressively low noise level of 27 dB, this panel is designed for broadcast studios, post-production suites, editing bays, data centers with noise constraints, and any environment where ambient sound matters as much as reliable cooling. What truly sets the UQFP apart is its intelligent thermostatic proportional control, which modulates fan speed in response to real-time temperature readings. This precise control helps prevent heat buildup while minimizing wear and noise, resulting in a cooling solution that optimizes equipment performance, longevity, and energy efficiency. The built-in display provides immediate visibility into temperature and system status, enabling easy monitoring and proactive maintenance without leaving the comfort of your workstation. With its rugged build, straightforward installation, and seamless compatibility with Middle Atlantic rack systems, the UQFP-4 is a smart, future‑proof choice for cooling-critical cabinets and enclosures.

how to install Middle Atlantic UQFP Series Ultra Quiet Fan Panel

• Prepare the rack space: Power down equipment and ensure the rack or enclosure has available mounting rails compatible with the UQFP-4. Verify clearance for intake and exhaust to maintain proper airflow.
• Position the panel: Slide the UQFP-4 into the designated rack bay, aligning mounting holes with your rack’s vertical rails. Use the appropriate screws and tighten evenly to avoid misalignment.
• Make electrical connections: Connect the DC power harness or power input per the system’s standard wiring practices. Ensure secure, vibration-free connections to minimize noise and wear.
• Connect to monitoring and display: If applicable, attach any required sensor or interface cables that feed the built-in display. Confirm that the temperature readout and status indicators initialize correctly on power-up.
• Configure cooling profiles: Use the built-in display or your system’s control interface to set target temperatures, alert thresholds, and any manual overrides. Allow the panel to reach steady-state operation before loading equipment.
• Test and calibrate: Power on equipment, monitor readouts, verify airflow direction, and confirm that the thermostatic control modulates fan speed as temperatures rise and fall. Recheck mounting screws after initial run.

Frequently asked questions

• What makes the UQFP-4 Ultra Quiet Fan Panel suitable for noise-sensitive environments?

  The UQFP-4 delivers up to 100 CFM of airflow while maintaining a remarkably low noise footprint of 27 dB, enabling effective cooling without disrupting conversations, recordings, or critical listening environments.

• How does the thermostatic proportional control benefit my cooling setup?

  Thermostatic proportional control continuously reads cabinet temperature and adjusts fan speed proportionally. This maintains stable temperatures, reduces wind noise during low heat loads, and minimizes energy use during lighter workloads while providing robust cooling when demand increases.

• Does the panel include a display, and what information does it show?

  Yes. The built-in display provides real-time temperature readings and system status, allowing quick checks and easier maintenance without external instruments or software.

• Is the UQFP-4 compatible with all Middle Atlantic racks?

  The UQFP series is designed for seamless integration with Middle Atlantic rack systems, including standard rack enclosures and compatible accessories, ensuring reliable mounting and performance within the brand’s ecosystem.

• Can I adjust cooling manually if needed?

  While the primary mode is thermostatic automatic control, certain configurations may offer manual adjustments depending on model and control options. For typical installations, rely on the intelligent control for optimal balance of cooling and noise.
