Product Overview
The GE Fanuc IC697ACC724 is an optional rack-mounted cooling fan assembly designed for the Series 90-70 / IC697 system racks. It is intended to manage heat buildup inside the rack and maintain proper airflow to protect sensitive electronics. This fan kit is particularly useful in systems with high power dissipation or in installations where ambient temperature or ventilation is constrained.
Key Features
-
Contains three parallel-wired fans, each with ball bearings to reduce noise and extend lifespan
-
Designed for bottom-mount installation in the rack, drawing air from bottom to top
-
240 VAC rated version (other variants may exist)
-
Built-in filter (foam) to trap dust and debris
-
Comes with power lead and interconnection wiring for ease of installation
-
Intended to operate concurrently with the PLC (wired to same supply)
-
Offers improved reliability in assemblies with elevated thermal loads

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the purpose of the IC697ACC724 fan assembly?
It adds forced-air cooling to a PLC rack, helping reduce internal temperature and protect modules from overheating.
2. Where is the fan assembly installed?
It is mounted at the bottom of the rack, pulling air upward through the internal modules.
3. What voltage does it operate at?
This version is designed for 240 VAC operation.
4. How many fans does the unit include, and how are they wired?
It includes three fans wired in parallel.
5. Does it include a dust filter?
Yes, a foam (polyurethane) filter is provided to filter airborne particles.
6. What is the recommended wiring practice?
It is recommended to wire the fan assembly to the same power source as the PLC, so the fan is powered when the PLC is powered.
7. What is the rated airflow?
The nominal airflow is about 71 CFM.
8. What is the operating current draw?
When running, the assembly draws about 0.09 to 0.10 A; its locked-rotor current is about 0.12–0.14 A.
