Grower Tip
- At 17 dBA this is the quietest fan in the range, so it suits gear sitting in a cupboard or anywhere near living space.
- Flip the fan over to swap between intake and exhaust, so one unit can either feed or vent a small enclosure.
- Rated for 35–85% RH, which covers veg and flower tent air; keep it out of a propagation dome running wetter.
- Chain up to four fans on one USB source, setting the ones nearest the plug to high so the rest get enough current.
Features
A single 80mm fan moves 26 CFM at 2000 RPM.
Rated at 17 dBA, a step below every other fan in the Multifan S-series.
A cord-mounted switch sets low, medium, high or off to balance airflow against noise.
Rated at 67,000 hours L10 life, and let the fan lay flat or stand upright.
Flip the fan over to turn it from an intake into an exhaust, with no rewiring.
Runs from any dedicated USB port rated 500mA or higher, drawing just 1.1W at 3 to 7V DC.
A spare USB port on the unit lets up to four fans share one power source.
Eight rubber feet cut vibration noise, and unscrew for a slimmer footprint.
-
1
Position the fan
Stand it upright, lay it flat, or bolt it to a panel; any orientation works.
-
2
Point the airflow
Flip the fan over to switch it between drawing cool air in and pushing hot air out.
-
3
Fit or remove the feet
Leave the silicone feet on for hard surfaces, or unscrew them for a slimmer fit and refit the screws to hold the guard.
-
4
Screw-mount if needed
Use the 72 x 72mm hole spacing and 4mm screw holes to fix the fan to a board.
-
5
Plug in
Run the 1.8m cord to a dedicated USB port rated 500mA or higher, or to a USB wall adapter.
-
6
Set the speed
Use the inline switch for low, medium or high. When chaining fans, set those nearest the source to high.
How loud is the Multifan S1?
Rated noise is 17 dBA at full speed, the lowest figure in the Multifan S-series. The inline switch drops it to medium or low if the fan sits near head height, and eight silicone feet absorb the buzz you get when a fan sits directly on a hard shelf. Airflow is usually more audible than the motor itself.
What powers it — is a plug included?
It runs off USB. The box holds the fan and its speed controller, so you supply the power: any dedicated USB port rated 500mA or higher, or a USB wall adapter. Only the Turbo Power Adapter models, marked with a P suffix, ship with an adapter included. The fan draws just 1.1W at 3 to 7V DC.
Can I run it in a grow tent?
Yes, within its ratings. The fan is rated for 35 to 85% RH and roughly -18°C to 70°C, which covers normal veg and flower tent conditions. It is built for indoor use only, and a propagation dome sitting above 85% RH is outside the rating, so mount the fan outside that space and move air across it instead.
How many fans can I chain together?
Up to four fans share one USB power source. Each unit carries a spare USB port, so you link one into the next rather than needing a power point per fan. Set the fans nearest the power source to high so the units further down the chain still get enough current to run properly.
Can I mount it vertically or reverse the airflow?
Both. The dual-ball bearings are rated for any orientation, so the fan stands upright, lays flat or bolts to a vertical panel without shortening bearing life. Flipping it over reverses it between intake and exhaust. There are four 4mm screw holes on 72 x 72mm spacing, matching standard 80mm fan hardware.
Is the S1 enough, or should I size up?
The S1 moves 26 CFM, which suits a single small enclosure or one piece of gear. The S3 is 120mm and the S4 is 140mm at 57 CFM if you need more air from one fan. The S5 is effectively two of these 80mm fans on one controller, for spreading airflow across two points instead.
