I have these AFB0824GHE-R00 Fans in my hands, and I see that there are three wires on that fan. The + and -, and the third blue wire, which according to the datasheet's hint is a function wire?

fan function wire

function type

I am not sure how to use it. If I let it floating, the fans work as normal (I connect + and - to 24V and they spin), and I havent connect the blue wire to any voltage potential, as I may fry the fans by mistake.

So is this a wire that activates a "function" mode of the fan?

Where should I connect this wire to enable this mode, and what this mode does?

    \$\begingroup\$ The datasheet does mention it. That link is just not the datasheet, but just some sales brochure. \$\endgroup\$

According to the fan datasheet, that specific model has a motor lock detection, and the third wire is an open collector output of the lock detector.

It will be pulled low when motor runs, and high-z when motor is locked. Max ratings for external pull-up voltage and current are 26.4V and 5 mA.

If you don't intend to use the lock detection output, you don't need to connect it in any way.
