WARNING: Make sure to power the fan off and lock it out using the IEC/CE approved disconnect when doing any cleaning and or maintenance to the equipment.

PRIOR TO THE INSTALLATION, ENSURE:

• That the mounting of the suspension system shall be performed by the manufacturer, its

service agent or suitably qualied persons;

• That the fan is to be installed so that the blades are more than 2,3 m above the oor;

• The model or type reference of a luminaire that may be installed in a fan constructed for this purpose.

DAMAGED EQUIPMENT

Do not operate or install any fans or fan accessories that appear to be damaged. Failure to follow this instruction can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

SERVICE:

If the fan does not operate properly using the procedures in this manual, BE CERTAIN TO REMOVE ALL POWER TO THE UNIT and contact our technical department for further assistance.

Keep all body parts clear of moving part at all times. All electrical troubleshooting and repair

must be done by a qualied technician and meet all applicable codes.

Ensure that the replacement of parts of the safety suspension system device shall be performed

by the manufacturer, its service agent or suitably qualied persons.

Key Safety System Components

EnergyLogic fans are engineered with key safety features to prevent pieces of the fan from falling in the unlikely event of a catastrophic failure. Used together, these features provide comprehensive protection of people, equipment and property. Follow the detailed instructions precisely when installing fans, including the following:

• Install the safety cable on EVERY fan. The safety cable, if installed per EnergyLogic

specications, will prevent the fan from falling in the unlikely event that the mounting

system should fail. An EnergyLogic fan should never be run without a properly installed safety cable, which is supplied with every fan along with all required hardware. You must install a safety cable for the warranty to be in effect.

• Install guy wires on every fan, unless otherwise specied. Properly installing the guy wires is required for proper stabilization during normal operation for some fan and mounting types (Fixed Angle and Universal Mounts). In addition, guy wires keep the fan stable in case of earthquakes or in “outdoor” installations where high wind conditions may occur.

Caution & Safety

Mark the Floor to Alert Personnel

When mounting a fan in an area where materials may be elevated into its path, EnergyLogic

recommends marking or painting the oor with a large crosshatched circle to alert personnel of

the overhead location of fans.

Weight Considerations

Ensure the xing means for attachment to the ceiling such as hooks or other devices shall be xed with a sufcient strength to withstand 4 times the weight of the ceiling fan. The maximum

hanging weight for the Model 370 is 79 lbs [36 kg] including the weight of an additional drop length. If there is any uncertainty in the strength of the building structure, a professional structural engineer should perform a thorough evaluation of the building prior to purchasing the

fans. EnergyLogic provides guidelines for mounting fans; however, it is the sole responsibility of

the building owner and installer to ensure the safety of the mounting system, that the building structure is sound and that the installation complies with all federal, state, and local codes.

Torque

The maximum torque (twisting force) during normal operation that must be handled by the mounting system, including the building structure. For a Model 370, the maximum potential torque is 20 ft-lbs [27 N-m].

Check Federal, State, and Local Codes

Check all relevant codes to make sure that all product certications, product listings, and

building regulations are met. Code compliance is the responsibility of the installer.

Windy Conditions

Fans should not be operated when wind is present.

Fan Placement & Clearance

Sprinkler Systems and Fan Placement

In any installation where re sprinklers are in place, fans should not interfere with their correct

operation. Fans should be located no less than 3 feet below a sprinkler, and placed central to

each sprinkler quadrant. Our AirBrain motor controller can be connected to a re suppression control system which will emergency-stop fans in case of re. Prior to installing fans, review all

codes applicable to sprinkler systems and fans to ensure code compliance (refer to NFPA 13). Please call EnergyLogic for guidance (contact information can be found on page 69). However, it is your sole responsibility to see that the installation is completed to code and that it is correct.

Other Information on Placement and Spacing

If possible, avoid mounting fans directly below lights or skylights to avoid any strobe effect caused by moving airfoils.

If the building has a mezzanine, fans should be mounted so a person cannot reach a fan in any way from the upper level/deck. Make certain that fans are positioned so that the airfoil tips are at least 3 feet away from any area where a person may be able to extend outward to reach them.

HVLS fans should not be located near to air supply outlets or exhausting inlets of other HVAC

equipment. Supply air outlets can be congured to deliver air away from the HVLS fan or the fan

location should be oriented such that the outlet is pointing away from the fan and outside the swept area of the fan. Exhaust fan inlets or other return air points creating a negative pressure should not be within 1.5 times the diameter of the fan. These system will diminish the capacity of the HVLS fan. Proper systems orientation will provide an enhancement to the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and occupant comfort. Refer to next page for illustration.
