Madshrimps posted a review on the Lamptron FC10 Fan Controller



The latest FC10 fan controller from Lamptron comes with an innovative display with Nixie tubes for displaying fan RPMs, current voltages and temperatures recorded by the included thermal probes. The faceplate is removable and can be replaced with 4 other ones if we other the Special Edition package: Brass, White, Black Bench Drawing Metal or Black with Brass Trim. As FC8, the FC10 can supply up to 30W per channel but a very welcome improvement is the inclusion of fully braided cables, which are more durable and look better overall. The remote is easy to operate, but during the installation we must be careful where we are going to place the antenna, because it could shorten the remote range considerably otherwise.

Upon start-up, the fan controller does a short display test and afterwards it will show the temperature on the first channel; even if we have used the fan controller in another mode before stopping it (RPM or voltage), it will still default to temperature mode after each start-up. With the help of the included remote, we can switch easily between the display modes and the channels, but we can also turn on or off the Nixie tubes. If one of the fans cannot start in time, the Alarm will start beeping and will not stop until the fan will begin rotating.
