Humidity expansion question

Post by psyrob »

I was thinking of getting the humidity expansion, my fish room gets muggy...I was thinking a room to room fan that mounts in the wall would be good, but how do I wire this thing to plug into the outlet box on the reef angel?
Like this one...

They are wired to connect to a switch, they don't have a plug...I am electronically challenged so maybe this is a easy answer, but I am stumped...
Thanks

It doesn't specify that it's AC but I'm betting it is. AC is easy, no worry about polarity. Just cut the end off a 3 prong computer power cord or similar and strip back a couple inches of the outside sheath. Inside should be a white, black, and green wire. The white and black are your hot lines, the green is the ground. The fan will most likely have 3 wires coming out of the same colors. Match them up, splice them together, and tape everything up with electrical tape or shrink tubing.

That sounds easy, and I was thinking this was the approach to take...sort of how you do with wiring computer fans using old power supplies?
