User guide
Variable speed driver for evaporative air coolers
Two HMI options: surface or flush mounting
Exhaust mode, inverted fan spin for air exchange
Single-phase / two-phase 220 Vac power supply for three-phase motors from 0.5 to 3.0 HP
The perfect solution for evaporative air coolers, IRX PRO is a variable speed driver that provides all the necessary functions for this application, such as: Climatizing, Ventilation, Air swing, Draining and Exhaustion. IRX PRO drives motors up to 3 HP, with versatile motor speed levels.
IRX PRO models provide a level sensor input and multiple protection parameters. The driver module must be installed inside the evaporative cooler due to its IP64 protection rating (water-jet resistant).

HMI and remote controller options
IRX PRO offers two HMI options for greater flexibility on installation with surface or flush mounting. It is also possible to separately acquire a remote controller.
Surface mounting HMI: available functions
The IRX Pro offers several functions accessible directly through the surface-mounted HMI, including drain, exhaust, swing/germicidal lamp control, timer, and automatic or manual mode selection.
Flush mounting HMI: available functions
The flush-mount IRX Pro HMI provides the main navigation and control functions, such as speed increase, speed decrease, and configuration. Compact and intuitive, it was designed to ensure easy installation and convenient daily operation.
RJ45 communication
The HMI communicates with the driver module through a CAT5e cable with RJ45 connection. The air cooler accompanies a standard 5 meters long cable, but it is possible to use a CAT5e cable up to 50 meters long, allowing for the ideal length for your application.
Programming key mode
IRX PRO’s HMI can function as a programming key, recording parameters to be “copied” and “pasted” in other IRX PRO drivers. This mode is very practical, especially for machine manufacturers because it considerably reduces the drivers’ configuration time.
Flame-retardant enclosure and cable glands
The enclosure and cable glands are made of flame-retardant materials, ensuring that fire doesn’t spread. This reflects our commitment to safety, ensuring that both the installation and the evaporative cooler are protected against any issues that may originate from the equipment. In addition, the polycarbonate enclosure is resistant to impact and abrasion, providing durability and reliability.
Two digital inputs
The IRX PRO features two digital inputs that enhance its functionality and safety. One allows the connection of a level sensor, protecting the pump against dry running and preventing damage such as motor burnout. The other input works as a start/stop command, making it ideal for integration with automation systems and enabling control beyond the HMI and remote control.
Autmatic temperature mode
With the IRX Pro, greater thermal comfort and energy efficiency can be achieved thanks to its automatic operation, which turns the evaporative cooler on or off to reach the configured target temperature. The unit includes an NTC 10k temperature sensor that can be installed in the surface-mounted HMI for monitoring. When automatic mode is activated, the cooler manages the systems efficiently, ensuring proper temperature control.
Frequently asked questions
The IRX PRO programming key allows parameters to be configured on one inverter and then easily copied to other units in sequence, ensuring speed and consistency during manufacturing. To use the programming key mode, refer to the manual or contact Ageon technical support for more information about the procedure.
The IRX PRO must be installed inside the evaporative cooler in a vertical position. The heat sink must be positioned to allow proper air circulation, ensuring efficient thermal dissipation. The inverter has a protection rating suitable for the operating environment, ensuring safe operation in industrial conditions.
The IRX Pro features internal and external protections, including:
- Flame-retardant enclosure;
- Overload protection;
- Overvoltage and undervoltage protection;
- Over Temperature protection.
It is designed to operate safely in industrial environments, ensuring greater reliability and protection.
The IRX PRO offers manual speed control, automatic control based on ambient temperature, a swing function to optimize air distribution, drain and pump control, a level sensor input, and a timer for scheduled inverter shutdown. These features provide efficient and flexible control, allowing the evaporative cooler to adapt to the needs of the environment.
Install the IRX PRO communication cable away from power cables to avoid interference. Avoid excessive bending or applying excessive force during installation. To ensure proper communication, perform the communication test on the inverter as described in the manual, or contact technical support.
The IRX Pro is compatible with the Flush-Mount HMI, which can be installed on a panel or directly on the evaporative cooler; the Surface-Mount HMI, ideal for installation on external surfaces such as walls and columns.
