Quest M3 Fan Control via Artisan
James211	#1 Posted on 11/14/2017 12:57 PM
1/4 Pounder Posts: 78 Joined: January 25, 2014	Does anyone have any guides on how to control the fan on a Quest with Artisan? I know I need a ZCD and possibly another SSR, but aside from that I have no clue. Also, I know Jim sells the ZCD's, but he's not replying lately. Any thoughts on how to find one?

It wasn't very difficult but requires some electronics / soldering skills. Otherwise you might be able to control the fan using a router controller or other suitable fan speed controller. greencardigan attached the following image:

1/4 Pounder Posts: 154 Joined: March 24, 2015	I do not have it completely tested, TC4 I use with a vacuum cleaner motors. I tried this 13w fan: I want to use it in a small drum roaster (I think it is the same as in QUEST) With regulation up to 35% performance I am not entirely satisfied and SSR produces strange sounds. I do not know if the configuration is wrong. Viliam

How badly it actually looks like I posted on Yuotube: [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TT1ahzDBWoc[/video] https://www.youtu...T1ahzDBWoc P.S. video embedded in 3 ways seen only as a clickable link Edited by Will2 on 11/15/2017 7:05 AM Viliam

1/4 Pounder Posts: 78 Joined: January 25, 2014	So I had a PCB made, I?m going to order parts this weekend and solder when I get back from a business trip. I have three of them so provided they test out I?ll have a couple extras. Next step will be figuring out how to incorporate into Artisan. If anyone knows please let me know.

1/4 Pounder Posts: 78 Joined: January 25, 2014	Well, after a lot of trial and error, I figured it out! I have to say the new setup with fan control and phase angle control of the heater works better than the older PMW version. Really really happy!
