ADM1030/31 MODES OF OPERATION
FILTERED AUTOMATIC FAN SPEED CONTROL
The ADM1030/31 has four modes of operation. They are ^MODE.

The ADM1030/31 software allows the user to choose which
mode of operation they require. It will then prompt the user
to provide the information required by that particular mode
of operation.

“Filtered Automatic Control” in the “Mode Select”
window of the Control Tab. This causes the “Filter

1. Choose an “Increment Rate” and an “ADC Sample
Rate”. See the datasheet for more information on these
parameters.
2. The user may also choose to enable or disable “Fan

3. Finally the user is prompted to choose Automatic
Fan Speed Control Parameters. This should be com-
pleted if these Parameters have not already been chosen.
4. Click on “Enable Fan Filter” to implement Filtered
Automatic Fan Speed Control. (Enable Fan1 for the
ADM1030 and Fan1 and Fan2 for the ADM1031)
