The relay on the base unit is more than large enough to turn on and off
that fan - at 24V it can switch 2A.  You just run power from your power
source into the 'c' terminal, and then from the 'n.o' terminal to the fan.
Hook the black back to the power source.

If you just want temperature control, there are two values you can set
which say 'relay on above' and 'relay on below' which will allow you set
the relay to turn on/off with temperature control.  I'd just set 'relay on
above' to something like '200', which means turn the fan on over 20*C
(about room temperature).  If this doesn't work, let me know and I'll get
you the correct firmware for that (there was a bug which we fixed, but I'm
not sure where it is in the whole release/shipping/on website process).
