Product Description for B&R 5PC700.FA02-00 Fan Kit

5PC700.FA02-00 is an original factory cooling fan accessory kit independently developed and manufactured by B&R Industrial Automation, specially engineered for thermal management of Panel PC 700 series industrial touch panel computers equipped with dual PCI expansion slots. This complete assembly delivers forced convection cooling inside the sealed panel PC housing, efficiently dissipating heat generated by CPU, memory modules and PCI expansion boards during long-duration industrial operation. Each component inside the kit undergoes strict aging screening, dynamic balance testing and quality inspection before delivery, matching the mechanical and electrical design standards of B&R host equipment perfectly. The dual-fan layout ensures stable and consistent airflow, preventing internal overheating, component thermal degradation and unexpected system shutdowns in high-temperature cabinet environments. It serves as both a factory optional upgrade cooling component and a direct replacement spare part for worn original fans on deployed Panel PC units.

The official part identifier is 5PC700.FA02-00, designated exclusively for 10.4-inch Panel PC 700 models fitted with two PCI slots, such as 5PC720.1043-01 and corresponding variants. The fan unit adopts double ball bearing structure for stable mechanical operation and extended service lifespan. The whole kit complies with international certification standards including CE and UKCA for global industrial deployment, and meets B&R’s ISO 9001 full lifecycle quality control specifications. The assembly features plug-and-play installation architecture with pre-matched wiring connectors aligned to the internal power and speed monitoring ports of Panel PC 700 chassis. Standard packaging includes a complete set of installation fasteners, filter assembly and dual fan bodies without extra modification required during on-site fitting. The kit is produced to precise dimensional tolerances to eliminate assembly gaps and airflow leakage after mounting.

The core functional positioning focuses on active internal heat dissipation for high-load dual PCI slot Panel PC 700 hardware configurations. Dual axial fans draw cool ambient air into the panel PC enclosure and expel hot internal air continuously, forming a directional circulation airflow path that covers CPU heat sinks, PCI card surfaces and power regulation circuits. The integrated dust filter intercepts particulate contaminants, workshop dust and fine debris to stop fan blade blockage and internal circuit contamination, reducing maintenance frequency effectively. Built-in speed monitoring signals transmit real-time fan rotation status back to the Panel PC system board, enabling Automation Studio software to trigger fault alarms for stall, slowdown or fan failure conditions. By stabilizing internal operating temperatures, the kit extends the usable service life of mainboard chips, memory and expansion peripherals, maintaining stable computing performance for real-time automation control tasks. It fills the cooling gap left by passive natural convection, which cannot meet heat dissipation demands when two PCI expansion boards draw additional power and generate extra heat.

The kit contains two identical 60 mm × 60 mm axial cooling fans as the primary cooling units. Rated rotational speed is 3600 revolutions per minute with a tolerance margin of ±10 percent. Nominal operating noise level reaches 30.5 decibels under standard running conditions, balancing cooling capacity and low-noise operation for operator work areas. The double ball bearing fan structure delivers a rated service life of 80,000 continuous operating hours under a constant ambient temperature of 30°C. Fans operate on the standard 24 VDC industrial power supply matched to Panel PC 700 internal power architecture. The dust filter is made of high-density breathable synthetic fiber material with consistent airflow permeability while capturing fine solid particles. The mechanical mounting hardware uses corrosion-resistant steel screws that resist oxidation in humid industrial environments. Electrical connection terminals feature secure lock-in design to avoid loose wiring vibration faults during equipment operation. The assembly maintains stable performance across an ambient working temperature range from -20°C up to +60°C.

Supporting compatible accessories include original B&R replacement dust filter inserts for periodic maintenance swapping, spare fan motor assemblies for individual fan unit replacement without full kit changeout, and insulated extension wiring harnesses for deep chassis installation layouts. Standard cross-head screwdriver tools compatible with the supplied mounting screws apply for disassembly and fitting procedures. Protective sealing gaskets can be paired to reinforce enclosure airtightness after fan kit installation, optimizing airflow efficiency. B&R official diagnostic software within Automation Studio supports fan speed reading, fault code clearing and cooling system status verification post-installation. Shock-absorbing rubber pads serve as optional add-ons to reduce mechanical vibration transfer from fans to the panel PC chassis in high-vibration production sites.

The fan kit is exclusively compatible with B&R 10.4-inch Panel PC 700 series units configured with two PCI expansion slots, represented by model 5PC720.1043-01 and matching hardware revisions. Primary application fields cover automated production line control stations, packaging machinery operation panels, metallurgy process monitoring terminals, plastic injection molding machine human-machine interfaces, and water treatment plant local control panels. It also applies to thermal power auxiliary equipment monitoring screens, logistics sorting system operation terminals, and chemical plant safety monitoring panel PCs running continuous 24-hour control logic. The product supports both new machine factory pre-installation and post-delivery on-site retrofitting or failure replacement, fitting all heavy industrial scenarios where dual PCI expansion cards are required for communication, motion control or data acquisition expansion functions.
