Model XREB Belt Drive
XREB model fans are belt drive downblast centrifugal exhaust fans. These fans are specifically designed for roof mounted applications exhausting relatively clean air. Performance capabilities range up to 44,700 cfm (75,950 m and up to 2.5 in. wg (623 Pa) of static pressure. The maximum continuous operating temperature is 180°F (82ºC). XREB models are available in twenty sizes with
nominal wheel diameters ranging from 11 to 54 inches (279 to 1372 mm) (071-540 unit sizes). Each fan shall bear a permanently affixed manufacturer’s nameplate containing the model number and individual serial number. All fans are UL/cUL Listed Standard 705.
1. Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), where applicable. Follow the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) in Canada.
2. The rotation of the wheel is critical. It must be free to rotate without striking or rubbing any stationary objects.
3. Motor must be securely and adequately grounded.
4. Do not spin fan wheel faster than max cataloged fan RPM. Adjustments to fan speed significantly affects motor load. If the fan RPM is changed, the motor current should be checked to make sure it is not exceeding the motor nameplate amps.
5. Do not allow the power cable to kink or come in contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces or chemicals. Replace cord immediately if damaged.
6. Verify that the power source is compatible with the equipment.
7. Never open access doors to a duct while the fan is running.

When lifting the unit on to the roof, use either the four lifting points on the drive frame or the two lifting points on the bearing plate if present (see Figure 2 for lifting points). Access to the drive frame is accomplished by removing the screws pointed out in Figure 3. The cover can then be removed and placed on a flat surface in an area protected from strong winds.
When XRED/XREB unit is on the roof, move fan to desired location using lifting points and fasten securely through mounting holes in base. Shims may be necessary depending upon roofing material thickness.
The motor amperage and voltage ratings must be checked for compatibility to supply voltage prior to final electrical connection. For XRED/XREB installations, the electrical supply should be routed through the conduit chase located between the curb cap and the bottom of the motor compartment. Wiring must conform to local and national codes.

Storage
Fans 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 fan 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.
Indoor
The ideal environment for the storage of fans 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° to 110°F (-1° to 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 buildup. Leave coverings loose to permit air circulation and to allow for periodic inspection.
The unit should be stored at least 3½ inches (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 fans 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. At each inspection, rotate the wheel by hand ten to fifteen revolutions to distribute lubricant on motor. If paint deterioration begins, consideration should be given to touch-up or repainting. Fans with special coatings may require special techniques for touch-up or repair.
Machined parts coated with rust preventive should be restored to good condition promptly if signs of rust occur. Immediately remove the original rust preventive coating with petroleum solvent and clean with lint-free cloths. Polish any remaining rust from surface with crocus cloth or fine emery paper and oil. Do not destroy the continuity of the surfaces. Thoroughly wipe clean with Tectyl hard to reach internal surfaces or for occasional use, consider using Tectyl or the equivalent.

Removing From Storage
As fans are removed from storage to be installed in their final location, they should be protected and maintained in a similar fashion until the fan equipment goes into operation.
Outdoor
Fans designed for outdoor applications may be stored outdoors, if absolutely necessary. Roads or aisles for portable cranes and hauling equipment are needed.
The fan should be placed on a level surface to prevent water from leaking into the fan. The fan should be elevated on an adequate number of wooden blocks so that it is above water and snow levels and has enough blocking to prevent it from settling into soft ground. Locate parts far enough apart to permit air circulation, sunlight and space for periodic inspection. To minimize water accumulation, place all fan parts on blocking supports so that rain water will run off.
Do not cover parts with plastic film or tarps as these cause condensation of moisture from the air passing through heating and cooling cycles.
Fan wheels should be blocked to prevent spinning caused by strong winds.

Pre-Starting Checks
1. Check all fasteners and set screws for tightness. The wheel should rotate freely and be aligned as shown in Figure 7 below.
2. Wheel position is preset and the unit is test run at the factory. Movement may occur during shipment and realignment may be necessary.
3. Only XRED unit - Centering height alignment can be accomplished by loosening the set screws in the wheel and moving the wheel to the desired position.
4. Only XREB unit - Centering can be accomplished by loosening the bolts holding the drive frame to the shock mounts and repositioning the drive frame.
5. Only XREB unit - Wheel and inlet cone overlap can be adjusted by loosening the set screws in the wheel and moving the wheel to the desired position.
6. Only XREB unit - Fan RPM should be checked and verified with a tachometer.
7. Check wheel rotation (viewing from the shaft side) by momentarily energizing the unit. Rotation should be clockwise as shown in Figure 8 and correspond to rotation decal on the unit. If wheel rotation is incorrect, reverse two of the wiring leads or check motor wiring for single phase.

11. Belt tension can be adjusted by loosening four fasteners on the drive frame, see Figure 11. The motor plate slides on the slotted adjusting arms and drive frame angles in the same manner.
12a. Sizes 071-161: Belts should be tensioned just
enough to prevent slippage at full load.
Note: Belts should have a slight bow on the slack
side while running at full load (see Figure 12a).
Deflection
Slack Side
Figure 12a Figure 12b
12b. Sizes 180-540: Belt tension should be adjusted to
allow 1/64 in. (0.397 mm) of deflection per inch of belt span. For example, a 15 in. (381 mm) belt span should have 15/64 in. (0.234 mm) (or about 1/4 in. (6 mm)) of deflection with moderate thumb pressure at mid-point between pulleys (see Figure 12b).
13. The adjustable motor pulley is factory set for the RPM specified. Speed can be increased by closing or decreased by opening the adjustable motor pulley.
14. Any increase in speed represents a substantial increase in the horsepower required by the unit.
15. Motor amperage should always be checked to avoid serious damage to the motor when speed is varied.
Operation: XRED / XREB
1. Before starting up or operating fan, check all fasteners for tightness. In particular, check the setscrews in wheel hub.
2. While in the OFF position or before connecting the fan to power, turn the fan wheel by hand to be sure it is not striking the venturi or any obstacle.
3. Start the fan and shut it off immediately to check rotation of the wheel with directional arrow in the motor compartment.
4. When the fan is started, observe the operation and check for any unusual noises.
5. With the system in full operation and all ductwork attached, measure current input to the motor and compare with the nameplate rating to determine if the motor is operating under safe load conditions.
6. Keep inlets and approaches to fan clean and free from obstruction.
IMPORTANT
Adjust (tighten) belt tension after the first 24-48 hours of operation.
Inspection
Inspection of the fan should be conducted at the first 30 minute and 24 hour intervals of satisfactory operation.
30 Minute Interval
Inspect bolts, setscrews and motor mounting bolts. Adjust and tighten as necessary.
24 Hour Interval
Check all internal components. On XREB unit only, inspect belt alignment and tension. Adjust and tighten as necessary.
Maintenance: XRED / XREB
Installation and maintenance are to be performed only by qualified personnel who are familiar with local codes and regulations and who are experienced with this type of equipment.
Motor maintenance is generally limited to cleaning and lubrication (where applicable). Cleaning should be limited to exterior surfaces only. Removing dust buildup on motor housing ensures proper motor cooling.
WARNING
Always disconnect, lock and tag power source before servicing. Failure to disconnect power source can result in fire, shock or serious injury.
Greasing of motors is only intended when fittings are provided. Many fractional horsepower motors are permanently lubricated and should not be lubricated after installation. Motors supplied with grease fittings should be greased in accordance with manufacturers’ recommendations. Where motor temperatures do not exceed 104ºF (40ºC), the grease should be replaced after 2,000 hours of running time as a general rule.
Wheels require very little attention when moving clean air. Occasionally, oil and dust may accumulate causing imbalance. When this occurs, the wheel and housing should be cleaned to ensure smooth and safe operation.
All fasteners should be checked for tightness each time maintenance checks are performed prior to restarting unit.
A proper maintenance program will help these units deliver years of dependable service.
CAUTION
Uneven cleaning of the wheel will produce an out of balance condition that will cause vibration in the fan.
WARNING
This unit should be made non-functional when cleaning the wheel or housing (fuses removed, disconnect locked off).

Belt/Bearing Maintenance XREB Unit
1. Belts tend to stretch after a period of time. They should be checked periodically for wear and tightness. When replacing belts, use the same type as supplied with the unit.
2. Matched belts should always be used on units with multi-groove pulleys.
3. For belt replacement, loosen the tensioning device enough to allow removal of the belt by hand.
4. Once installed, adjust belts as shown in “Pre-Starting Checks.”
5. Shaft bearings can be classified in two groups: relubricating and non-relubricating. All non-relubricating bearings on model XREB fans are factory lubricated and require no further lubrication under normal use (between -20º to 180ºF (-29º to 82ºC) in a relatively clean environment).
6. On XREB belt driven fans, the standard cast pillow block bearings are factory lubricated and are provided with external grease fittings. Annual lubrication is recommended, or more frequently if needed (See Table 2). Do not over-grease. Use only one or two shots of lubricant with a hand gun. Maximum hand gun rating is 40 psi. Rotate bearings during lubrication where good safety practice permits. Caution should be employed to prevent over packing or contamination.
7. Grease fittings should be wiped clean. The unit should be in operation while lubricating. Extreme care should be used around moving parts.
8. Grease should be pumped in very slowly until a slight bead forms around the seal. A high grade lithium base grease should be used. (See Table 3)
9. To ensure tightness, check pulley setscrews. Proper keys must be in keyways.
10. Fan RPM should not be readjusted. Only use pulleys of identical size and type when replacing pulleys.
11. During the first few months of operation, check bearing setscrews periodically to ensure tightness.
12. If unit is to be left idle for an extended period, remove belts and store in a cool, dry place to avoid premature belt failure.
Recommended Relubrication Frequency in Months
NOTE: If unusual environment conditions exist (extreme temperature, moisture or contaminants) more frequent lubrication is required.
A good quality lithium base grease, conforming to NLGI Grade 2 consistency, such as those listed here may be used.

Fan Inlet Connections
In order to assure proper fan performance, caution must be exercised in fan placement and connection to the ventilation system. Obstructions, transitions, poorly designed elbows, improperly selected dampers, etc. can cause reduced performance, excessive noise and increased mechanical stress. For performance to be as published, the system must provide uniform and stable airflow into the fan.
Good
Poor
Dampers must open fully. Use motorized dampers in low airflow applications to reduce losses.
