Looking for ideas on Ac Infinity t6 active intake / exhaust

I have 2 T6 for my 4x4 tent and want to know the best way I should go about setting it up.

I plan on using both controllers so I can control them individually if necessary.

How would you set them up? Both based off temp/humidity , timers ,schedule etc etc

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I don't use controllers. I keep the exhaust a little stronger than the intake to maintain negative pressure. They stay the same power 24/7.

The environment in my house doesn't change, so my fans don't need to change either.

But... the environment in the tent changes dramatically between lights-on and lights-off


Ideally, using the AC controller, the intake fan should be one size smaller (since they run at the same speed) to ensure negative pressure

Mine changes 5-6 degrees/RH on average between lights on/off. I suppose your mileage may vary though

Yeah I overlooked that when getting the intake fan . That's why I will probably use both controllers so I can have the intake on a lower speed.

Thanks for the feedback all

I'm liking the latest AC Infinity controller units. The duct fan speed change is triggered by temperature & humidity. The Vapor Product Deficit app reports that the tent weather is pretty good. You can set a minimum duct fan speed with these controllers so odor control lever stops.

My 2 year old AC I controller triggers on temp & humidity, but the duct fan stops when there are no triggers - so odor control turns on & off. The tent SensorPush weather station reports my VPD is running too high. Time to get another controller.

I use a T6/S6 setup right now with the 67...works just fine, though I'll upgrade to a 69 sometime soon as you can connect by WIFI (you can't do that with the 67) and you can set the fans up independent of each other rather than having to use the same settings.

Slightly off topic but what's the average lifespan of an AC Infinity 6" inline fan?

Kind of off topic, but I read if you keep them vertical, they last longer. Dunno if that's true.

Definitely not too far from the topic, how often should i change the exhaust filter on my AC 8in

Slightly off topic, but I probably haven't had mine long enough for a good judgement. I'm at about a year with both of these, running 95% of the time.

When you're noticing the filter isn't working well. For me that's about a year.

I would hope a $200+ inline fan would get a good 3-4 years minimum of always on.

One might hope.

I believe with that controller you can set a min and max fan speed for each separate unit\controller
So for the intake you can set the fan speed max to 2
For the exhaust you can set the min to 3 and max to whatever.

Not with the Controller 67. It can run two fans but only with the same settings. You need the newer Controller 69 to have individual fan control.

My mistake appreciate you correcting me

Learned this one the hard way...

I've been using a 67 with two 6" fans (and yes, I talked to AC-I and knew ahead of time, but the 69 wasn't even a thing yet...they did take my list of suggestions/wants for a 'future controller' at that time)...And my solution was to put MERV13 fabric over the intake. This damped down the fan enough that I get reasonable negative pressure rather than turning your tent into a balloon.
