To control the fan speeds enough to put pressure on you want regular, then the value will begin to blink and we can upgrade or downgrade your speed with the icons of + and -. Also if we clicked on any of the temperatures move mode alarm, where by the icons of + and - we can set a maximum temperature of security. The temperature exceeds that the panel number and the fans connected to the panel rotate at maximum speed.
