Receiving

Upon receiving the product check to make sure all items are accounted for by referencing the bill of lading to ensure all items were received. Inspect each crate for shipping damage before accepting delivery. Notify the carrier if any damage is noticed. The carrier will make notiﬁcation on the delivery receipt acknowledging any damage to the product. All damage should be noted on all the copies of the bill of lading which is countersigned by the delivering carrier. A Carrier Inspection Report should be ﬁlled out by the carrier upon arrival and the Trafﬁc Department. If damaged upon arrival, ﬁle claim with carrier. Any physical damage to the unit after acceptance is not the responsibility of Greenheck Fan Corporation.

Unpacking

Verify that all required parts and the correct quantity of each item have been received. If any items are missing, report shortages to your local representative to arrange for obtaining missing parts. Sometimes it is not possible that all items for the unit be shipped together due to availability of transportation and truck space. Conﬁrmation of shipment(s) must be limited to only items on the bill of lading.

INDOOR — The ideal environment for the storage of

units and accessories is indoors, above grade, in a low humidity atmosphere which is sealed to prevent the entry of blowing dust, rain, or snow. Temperatures should be evenly maintained between 30°F (-1°C) and 110°F (43°C) (wide temperature swings may cause condensation and “sweating” of metal parts). All accessories must be stored indoors in a clean, dry atmosphere.

Remove any accumulations of dirt, water, ice, or snow and wipe dry before moving to indoor storage. To avoid “sweating” of metal parts, allow cold parts to reach room temperature. To dry parts and packages use a portable electric heater to get rid of any moisture build up. Leave coverings loose to permit air circulation and to allow for periodic inspection.

The unit should be stored at least 3½ in. (89 mm) off the ﬂoor on wooden blocks covered with moisture proof paper or polyethylene sheathing. Aisles between parts and along all walls should be provided to permit air circulation and space for inspection.

Inspection and Maintenance during Storage

While in storage, inspect equipment once per month. Keep a record of inspection and maintenance performed.

If moisture or dirt accumulations are found on parts, the source should be located and eliminated.

REMOVING FROM STORAGE — As units are removed

from storage to be installed in their ﬁnal location, they should be protected and maintained in a similar fashion, until the equipment goes into operation.

Prior to installing the unit and system components, inspect the unit assembly to make sure it is in working order.

1. Check all fasteners, and accessories for tightness.

Handling

Handle in such a manner as to keep from scratching or chipping the coating. Damaged ﬁnish may reduce ability of unit to resist corrosion.

Storage

Units are protected against damage during shipment. If the unit cannot be installed and operated immediately, precautions need to be taken to prevent deterioration of the unit during storage. The user assumes responsibility of the unit and accessories while in storage. The manufacturer will not be responsible for damage during storage. These suggestions are provided solely as a convenience to the user.

Wiring

NOTE

All ﬁeld installation and wiring of electrical equipment must be done to meet NEC and local codes.

Control Box

1. Run power to the control box from two dedicated 120/1 20A breakers to the designated terminals in the control box (one for lights, one for controls).

2. If the variable frequency drives(s) are shipped loose from the control cabinet, please refer to the VFD wiring section for connection instructions to the control box.

3. For hood systems connected to a ﬁre system,

Resistive Temperature Detectors (RTD)

1. Wire the two leads of the sensors to designated

the ﬁre system microswitch can be wired into the designated terminals of the control box for integration of ﬁre system controls. The factory default is exhaust on, supply off in ﬁre mode. For help with changing this parameter, please refer to the controller setup portion of this manual.

terminals in the control panel as shown below. For more than four sensors, see wiring diagram on page 7 or the one inside of control box door. The two wires of the sensor are not polarity sensitive. If more than one hood is being controlled, be sure that the appropriate sensor is wired in association with the appropriate hood.

The RTD’s should not be exposed to direct ﬂame. The RTD’s are rated up to 250°F

NOTE

Variable Frequency Drives (VFD)

NOTE

If the VFD(s) are factory supplied and mounted in a cabinet, all interface wiring is factory supplied and this ﬁrst step can be disregarded.

NOTE

If electrically commutated motors are being used, VFDs will not be needed.

1. If the variable frequency drives are remotely mounted, a six conductor 18 ga. Class 2 cable must run between each VFD and the control panel.

2. Bring power to the input of each VFD from a dedicated power source using conduit. Each power source shall be of the same voltage as the respective fan and of a high enough amp rating to handle the full load amp draw of the respective fan.

NOTE

The VFD input voltage parameter (E1-01) and motor overload parameter (E2-01) need to be set to the motor nameplate FLA. Refer to the Quick Start Guide from Yaskawa (pages 83-100) for setting these parameters on the Yaskawa drive.

Be sure to use appropriately sized wire for the full load amp draw.

3. To avoid interference between the conductors, use separate conduit to wire from the VFD output to the input power for the fan.
