£92.50

The U-GO 8" 200mm EC Extraction Fan delivers up to 1230m³/h of airflow using an efficient 9-pole digital EC brushless motor, with a detachable digital thermostatic controller included as standard for variable-speed and temperature-responsive ventilation control.

Designed for powerful but controllable air movement, the U-GO combines a 200mm / 8" connection with 1230m³/h maximum airflow. Its EC motor technology provides efficient variable-speed operation while producing the static pressure required to work effectively within real ventilation systems containing ducting, bends and carbon filters.

Unlike a basic fixed-speed extraction fan, the U-GO is supplied with its own detachable digital controller. This provides fully variable fan-speed control together with thermostatic temperature control, allowing ventilation to respond more closely to changing environmental conditions.

The fan is built around a sturdy steel housing with ABEC 7 ball bearings and is also compatible with external 0-10V control via RJ9 or RJ11 connection, providing additional options when integrating it into a more advanced environmental-control system.

  • 0-10V control compatible - supports external control via RJ9 or RJ11 connection.
  • Sturdy steel housing - robust construction for demanding ventilation installations.
  • ABEC 7 ball bearings - designed for smooth, reliable fan operation.
  • 200mm / 8" connection - integrates with appropriately sized ducting, filters and ventilation fittings.

9-pole digital EC brushless motor

At the centre of the U-GO is a 9-pole digital EC brushless motor. EC stands for electronically commutated, combining a brushless motor design with electronic control.

This technology is particularly well suited to environmental ventilation because fan speed can be varied efficiently rather than relying solely on full-power operation.

U-GO states a fan efficiency of 7.85 CFM per watt, with the design intended to provide both strong linear airflow and static-pressure performance.

Static pressure becomes particularly important once a fan is connected to real ventilation equipment. Carbon filters, ducting, bends and other components all resist airflow, so a fan's ability to maintain useful airflow against resistance matters as much as its unrestricted maximum airflow figure.

Digital thermostatic controller included

Every U-GO fan is supplied with a detachable digital controller, giving the user direct control over fan operation without needing to purchase a separate basic speed controller.

The controller provides fully variable speed adjustment and thermostatic temperature control. This allows ventilation to be configured around the required environment rather than simply running the extraction fan at maximum speed continuously.

When environmental demand is lower, reducing fan speed can decrease unnecessary airflow, electrical consumption and ventilation noise. As additional cooling or air exchange becomes necessary, fan output can be increased.

This makes the U-GO particularly useful where ventilation requirements vary as lighting load, external temperature and other environmental conditions change.

1230m³/h high-airflow ventilation

The 8" U-GO provides a maximum airflow of 1230 cubic metres per hour, making it suitable for substantial intake or extraction applications.

Maximum airflow figures describe fan performance under defined conditions and should not be confused with the airflow that will necessarily be achieved after installation.

Carbon filters, long duct runs, tight bends, reducers, silencers and compressed flexible ducting all introduce resistance and can reduce actual system airflow.

Keeping the ventilation route short, correctly sized and as direct as practical helps the U-GO make better use of its available airflow and static-pressure capability.

0-10V environmental controller compatibility

In addition to its supplied digital controller, the U-GO supports 0-10V external control via RJ9 or RJ11 connection.

A 0-10V control signal allows compatible environmental-control equipment to regulate EC fan speed without controlling the fan by simply reducing its mains supply.

This provides scope for integrating the fan into more advanced ventilation strategies where compatible equipment is being used.

Always confirm the connection, control signal and cable requirements of the external controller before connecting third-party environmental-control equipment.

Ideal for carbon-filtered extraction

The U-GO's combination of high airflow and static-pressure performance makes it well suited to carbon-filtered extraction systems.

A carbon filter naturally creates resistance as air is pulled through the activated carbon bed. The fan therefore needs enough pressure capability to maintain the required ventilation rate once the filter is installed.

For best results, match the fan with a carbon filter of suitable airflow capacity and connection diameter. A variable-speed EC fan is particularly useful because airflow can then be adjusted to suit both the filter and the environmental requirement.

Getting the best performance from the U-GO 200mm Fan

  • Use 200mm ducting and fittings wherever practical.
  • Keep duct runs as short and direct as the installation allows.
  • Minimise unnecessary tight bends and reductions.
  • Avoid crushing or heavily compressing flexible ducting.
  • Match carbon-filter airflow capacity appropriately to the fan.
  • Secure and support the fan correctly.
  • Use the supplied digital controller to avoid unnecessary full-speed operation.
  • Use compatible 0-10V control equipment where integration with a wider environmental-control system is required.

Correct ventilation design allows the fan to provide the required air exchange at the lowest practical operating speed, helping balance environmental control, energy use and noise.

U-GO 8" 200mm EC Extraction Fan FAQs

What is the airflow of the U-GO 8" fan?

The 200mm / 8" U-GO EC Fan has a maximum airflow rating of 1230m³/h.

Does the U-GO fan include a controller?

Yes. A detachable digital thermostatic fan controller is included with the fan as standard.

Can I vary the speed of the U-GO fan?

Yes. The supplied controller provides fully variable fan-speed control, allowing airflow to be adjusted to the requirements of the ventilation system.

Does the controller respond to temperature?

Yes. The supplied digital controller provides thermostatic temperature control as well as variable fan-speed adjustment.

What does EC mean?

EC stands for electronically commutated. The U-GO uses a 9-pole digital EC brushless motor designed for efficient and controllable fan operation.

How efficient is the U-GO EC fan?

U-GO states fan efficiency at 7.85 CFM per watt for this EC fan range.

Can I use an external 0-10V controller?

Yes. The U-GO is compatible with 0-10V control via an appropriate RJ9 or RJ11 connection. Always check the requirements of the external controller and cable before connection.

Can I connect the U-GO to a carbon filter?

Yes. Its airflow and static-pressure capability make it suitable for carbon-filtered extraction when paired with an appropriately sized filter.

What size carbon filter should I use?

Ideally use a 200mm / 8" carbon filter with airflow capacity appropriate to the fan and required ventilation rate. Filter resistance should also be considered when sizing the complete system.

Will a carbon filter reduce the fan's 1230m³/h airflow?

Yes. A carbon filter creates resistance, so actual installed airflow will normally be lower than the fan's unrestricted maximum airflow rating.

What size ducting does the U-GO 8" fan require?

The fan has a nominal 200mm / 8" connection, so matching 200mm ducting and fittings should be used wherever practical.

Can I reduce the U-GO fan into smaller ducting?

A reducer can be used where necessary, but reducing duct diameter increases system resistance and air velocity and can reduce overall airflow.

What are ABEC 7 ball bearings?

The U-GO motor assembly uses ABEC 7 ball bearings, providing a precision bearing system for smooth fan operation.

Can the U-GO be used as an intake fan?

Yes. The fan can be incorporated into appropriately designed intake or extraction ventilation systems.

How can I get the best airflow from the U-GO fan?

Use correctly sized 200mm ducting, minimise tight bends and restrictions, avoid compressed flexible ducting and ensure filters and other ventilation components are appropriately sized for the required airflow.
