1. Safety
Unpacking
When receiving the unit, inspect carefully for any damage that may have occurred during transit. Shipping
damage claim must be filed with carrier.
Electrical Safety
An adequate and safe power supply to the APP Series Knockdown Fan unit is essential for safety.
A competent and qualified electrician must undertake all electrical wiring. All wiring is to be installed
according to the National Standards and Regulations relevant to your Country and Region.
Safety Guards
The APP Series Knockdown Fan contains many moving and electrical parts, which will cause serious
injury or death if touched. Guards are placed on the machine for your protection. Operating the
machine at any time with guards removed or incorrectly fitted is a serious misuse of the machine and
endangers safety.
Safety in Handling the APP Series Knockdown Fan
Manual handling of the fans can be a cause of serious injury. Wherever possible, use mechanical lifting
equipment when lifting or moving fans during installation. Where manual handling is required, seek
assistance from other people.
To prevent injury, use suitable hand protection.
Safety in Maintenance
While the APP Series Knockdown Fan is designed to keep maintenance to a minimum, some repairs will
be necessary in the course of the life of the machine. Do not attempt any repairs on the machine unless
you are competent to do so. Remember that the APP Series Knockdown Fan may in cases operate under
automatic control and start without warning. Never attempt any work on the APP Series Knockdown Fan
without first isolating the machine from the main power and locking the isolator so that only you can turn
the power back ON.
Follow all the guidelines given in the maintenance section on Page 11 of this manual.
Before restarting the APP Series Knockdown Fan, ensure that all electrical enclosures are locked closed
and all guards and other safety measures are correctly fitted.
If in any doubt, contact your dealer or AP for assistance.
General Safety Information
This unit should be assembled and installed by a qualified technician.
Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the
Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
Motor must be securely and adequately grounded. This can be accomplished by wirin g with a grou nded,
metal-clad raceway system by using a separate ground wire connected to the motor’s ground lug or other
suitable means.
Protect power cable from coming in contact with sharp objects.
Do not kink power cable and never allow cable to come in contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces,
or chemicals.
Make certain that the power source conforms to requirements of the equipment.

3. Installation
Fans should be installed in an exterior wall located where there will be no obstructions to the flow of air
into or out of the fan.
Once a location has been determined, an opening should be made in the wall and framed to provide
enough clearance around the fan housing. (See rough opening chart on Page 10.)
Framing must be able to support the weight of the fan assembly.
Manual handling of the fans may result in serious injury. Where appropriate, use mechanical methods of
lifting during installation. Where manual handling is required, ensure you have adequate assistance.
Position fan assembly in the framed opening. Rigidly mount the housing side flanges to the framework
using mounting screws.
Remove electrical cover and connect power leads to motor terminals, using approved wiring method.
It is recommended to use the watertight connector included with the motor, if it is possible in the
application. (Motor terminal connection data is provided on motor nameplate and in this manual.) Use
adequate size wire for all branch and feeder runs. When speed control is used, follow the installation
procedures recommended by the speed control manufacturer.
Re-install electrical cover.
Unit is now ready for operation.

Units may be operated using a switch, thermostat, timer or controller.
Follow wiring and operation instructions furnished with the control system selected.
When using speed controllers, follow the operation procedures recommended by the
controller manufacturer.
1. Set thermostat setting to a desired temperature. Fan will operate only when ambient temperature is
above the thermostat set temperature.
2. Some controllers have idle speed controls. Set idle speed such that the blade RPM is within the
RPM range listed in the performance table.
10 PNEG-1016 APP Series Knockdown Fan
5. Maintenance
Cleaning
Clean the blade and shutter at regular intervals. Dirt and debris can cause the fan blade to become
unbalanced, resulting in excessive vibration and poor performance.
Lubrication
Motor is pre-lubricated at the factory and will not require any further lubrication.
PNEG-1016 APP Series Knockdown Fan 11
6. Wiring
Electrical Wiring
All wiring should be installed in accordance with National, State and Local Electrical Codes. Fans used to
ventilate livestock buildings or other rooms where continuous air movement is essential should be
connected to individual electrical circuits, with a minimum of two (2) circuits per room. We strongly
recommend the installation of supplementary natural ventilation as well as a back-up thermostat and an
alarm system on at least one cooling stage.
For electrical connection requirements, refer to Figure 6A on motor nameplate and to information enclosed
with the “AVS” fan control to be used.
Figure 6A
12 PNEG-1016 APP Series Knockdown Fan
6. Wiring
Belt Drive Wirings for Single Phase Motors
Figure 6B
Motor overload protection should be provided for each fan. A circuit breaker switch or slow blow motor
type fuses must be used.
NOTE: A safety cut-off switch should be located adjacent to each fan, such as “AP” #’s:
E100-A1063 - 2-1/2 Amp
E100-A1064 - 5.0 Amp
E100-A1065 - 8.0 Amp
E100-A1066 - 15.0 Amp
Back-up thermostats such as the TH-1, should always be used in conjunction with the control system.
These should be placed on a separate circuit to give the animals ventilation in the event that the
controller fails.
