Some embodiments are directed to a control system (140, 141, 142) for controlling a cooling fan used together with a motion detector. The controlling comprises controlling an activation and/or a rotation frequency of the cooling fan. The control system has a communication interface arranged for communication with the motion detector. The motion detector is configured to detect motion by emitting and receiving electromagnetic radiation and establishing frequency differences between the emitted and received electromagnetic radiation. The system operates the cooling fan at a regular rotation frequency and then, in response to obtaining a signal indicating that the motion detector is being used, adjusts the activation and/or the rotation frequency of the cooling fan, wherein said adjustment reduces an interference of the cooling fan with the frequency differences established by the motion detector.
