Roof Damage Warning and Disclaimer
The manufacturer does not warrant any roof damage caused by excessive vacuum or internal
pressure from fans or other air moving systems. Adequate ventilation and/or “makeup air” devices
should be provided for all powered air handling systems. The manufacturer does n ot recommend
the use of downward flow systems (suction). Severe roof damage can result fro m any blockage of
air passages. Running fans during high humidity/cold weather conditions can cause air exhaust
or intake ports to freeze.
CAUTION
Excessive vacuum (or pressure) may
damage roof. Use positive aeration
system. Make sure all roof vents are
open and unobstructed. Start roof
fans when supply fans are started.
Do not operate when conditions exist
that may cause roof vent icing.

3. Installation
Pre-Installation Requirements
Foundation
Use the dimension illustration in the specifications section on Page 20 of this manual to determine the
physical size of the fan to be installed. Use the dimensions shown to determine the position of the fan
installation with respect to other equipment.
For proper operation of the fan, the unit is to be mounted on a level pad. The fan should not be anchored
to the pad, but it should be allowed to “float” on the pad. The fan pad should be offset 2" below the
top of the bin foundation. Refer to Figure 4F on Page 24 in the specifications section of this manual for
recommendations of pad placement with respect to various catalog transition ducts.
Transition
The transition duct should be all metal construction, with a gradual angle to the rectangular opening in the
bin wall. The duct should allow for a smooth transition with minimal resistance of the airflow from the fan
discharge to the bin plenum. Keep the entrance of the plenum as clear as possible from obstructions by
floor support.
Roof Exhaust
Adequate exhaust air openings in the roof are required to prevent any additional back pressure from
building in the bin. See roof damage warning on Page 13.
Power Supply
Adequate power must be supplied to the fan for reliable operation. Consult the local power company and
have a representative survey the installation. Only the power company can ensure that their system is
sized properly to provide adequate service to the installation and new equipment.
Wire Size
Undersized wire can lead to voltage drop which causes motor overheating and shortened motor life.
Use the electrical specifications chart on Page 18 in this manual to size the supply wire according to
the horsepower of the fan and the distance to the power supply. Refer to the fan specifications
on Page 18 to find the full load current of the motor for a given fan size. The full load current can also
be found on the motor nameplate.
Service Disconnect
Each fan motor must be supplied with an independent power circuit, equipped with a fused disconnect
switch. Locate this switch near the unit, as the power should be shut off before servicing the fan.
It is the customer’s responsibility to provide a fused disconnect and motor overload protection.
These must be properly sized and connected to allow proper motor operation. Failure to provide
these components could cause severe motor damage and void the manufacturer’s warranty.
14 PNEG-163-08 Centrifugal Fan
3. Installation
DANGER
Always disconnect and lock out power before working on or around fan.
Fan Installation
1. Remove packaging materials and inspect fan for any shipping damages. Report these at once to
the shipper.
2. Check all fasteners on the fan to make sure they are tight. (Fasteners may loosen during shipment.)
Tighten any loose fasteners, check for proper clearance and retighten.
3. Check all electrical connections that may have loosened during shipment.
4. Rotate the fan wheel. Wheel should rotate freely and should not make contact with the housing sides
or inlet cone.
5. Place fan in proper location on the fan pad. Attach fan to transition duct and seal connection
with caulk.
6. Check all joints and seams around the lower part of the bin. Verify that these are well sealed to
prevent air leakage from the bin plenum. Inspect the transition duct as well. Seal any leaks that may
be present to prevent air losses that reduce fan efficiency.
7. Level fan. Fan pad should be poured flat and level, however, it may be necessary to adjust the legs
provided on the fan housing to level the fan. The legs should be adjusted so that when level, all
five (5) legs touch the pad. Fans not resting on support legs may have excess vibration which can
lead to premature wear and tear on fan components.
IMPORTANT: Electrical installation must be performed by a q ualified electrician, in accordance with
National and Local Electrical Codes. Any violation of electrical wiring codes could
jeopardize the warranty.
Electrical Installation
1. Verify that the incoming power supply has been deemed adequate by the local power company.
2. Verify that the wiring supplying power to the fan is sized correctly for the distance away from supply
and fan horsepower. (See tables in specification section on Page 18.)
3. Verify that the safety disconnect is installed and sized correctly for the fan size. (See tables in
specification section on Page 18.)
4. Install a machine to earth ground for each individual fan. Refer to the ground rod installation
on Page 17.
5. The following wires must be supplied to each fan. Units without control transformers require a
separate neutral and earth ground connection.
1 PH 230V L1, L2, N, G
3 PH 230V L1, L2, L3, N, G
3 PH 230V with Optional Transformer Kit L1, L2, L3, G
3 PH 460V/575V L1, L2, L3, G
6. The starter controls require 115 VAC power to operate. On 230 volt 3 phase units, this power is
supplied by L1 to neutral.
PNEG-163-08 Centrifugal Fan 15
3. Installation
The voltage between L1 and N must be 115 VAC. Any other voltage will cause
damage to equipment.
CAUTION
Check this voltage before starting unit. If voltage is not within 105 VAC-125 VAC, check for proper
voltage on L2 or L3 and move to appropriate leg. If voltage is not acceptable, install a 1/4 KVA
step-down transformer.
NOTE: Grounded B and some open delta power supplies will require this transformer kit.
Final Check
Check to make sure all safety guards are in place and not damaged. Replace damaged parts.
Check to make sure all decals are visible and not damaged. Replace damaged decals.
Check to make sure all control boxes are closed and no wiring is exposed.
Test Run
When the fan is completely installed, the unit will need to be checked for proper rotation. Provide power
to the fan controls and start the fan momentarily. Make sure that the fa n wheel rotation is in the direction
that the decal on the fan housing illustrates. If the decal is missing, note that the wheel should operate
counterclockwise when viewed through the inlet guard on standard construction fans. If the wheel is
rotating the wrong direction, have the electrician correct the wiring.

3. Installation
Dig a hole large enough to hold 1 or
2 gallons of water.
Work the ground rod into the earth
until it is completely in the ground.
Machine to Earth Ground
It is very important that a machine to earth ground rod be in stalled at the fan. This is true eve n if there is
a ground at the pole 15' away. This ground needs to be as close to the fan as possible, but no more than
8' away. The ground rod should be connected to the fan control panel with at least a #6 solid bare copper
ground wire, or in accordance with local requirements. The machine to earth ground provides additional
safety if there is a short. It also provides the gr ounding necessary for long life and operation of the solid
state circuit boards used on control circuits and the electronic ignition systems.
Previously Installed Units
It is recommended that previously installed units be checked to see tha t a machine to earth ground h as
been installed by an electrician.
Ground Rod Installation
Proper Installation of the Ground Rod
(Ground rods and wires are not supplied.) It is recommended that the rod not be driven into d ry ground.
The following steps ensure proper ground rod installation:
1. Dig a hole large enough to hold 1 to 2 gallons of water.
2. Fill hole with water.
3. Insert rod through water and jab it into the ground.
4. Continue jabbing the rod up and down, the water will work its way down the hole, making it
possible to work the rod completely into the ground. This method of installing the rod gives a
good conductive bond with the surrounding soil.
5. Connect the bare copper ground wire to the rod with the proper ground rod clamp.
6. Connect the bare ground wire to the fan control boxes with a grounding lug.
7. Ground wire must not have any breaks or splices. Insulated wire is not recommended for grounding .

Fan Pad Location
Fan pad should be perpendicular to bin wall. Fan discharge centerline should lie on bin centerline.
Recommended thickness for pad is 4" minimum. Top surface of pad should be 2" below bin
foundation. Fans with downwind heaters require fan pad to be 48" wide and add 33" onto length (D).
IMPORTANT: Fan pad and fan must be level and smooth for proper operation. Vibration problems can
result from improper fan leveling.
