Caution & Safety

Key Safety System Components

MacroAir 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 systems and devices provide comprehensive protection of people, equipment and property. Follow the detailed instructions precisely when installing fans, including the following:

Install Safety cable on EVERY fan. The Safety cable, if installed per MacroAir speciﬁcations, will prevent the fan from falling in the unlikely event that the mounting system should fail. A MacroAir 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. Refer to page 33.

Mark the Floor to Alert Personnel

When mounting a fan in an area where materials may be elevated into its path, MacroAir recommends marking or painting the ﬂoor with a large crosshatched circle to alert personnel of the overhead location of fans.

Weight Considerations

We recommend that a building structure be capable of holding approximately twice the stated hanging weight of the fan. The maximum hanging weight for the Model 370 is 79 lbs including the weight of an additional extension. 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. MacroAir 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) that must be handled by the mounting system, including the building structure. For a Model 370, the maximum potential torque is 20 ft-lbs.

Check Federal, State, and Local Codes

Check all relevant codes to make sure that all product certiﬁcations, 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. Fans should not be installed in applications where it is frequently windy.

Fan Placement

Sprinkler Systems and Fan Placement

In any installation where ﬁre sprinklers are in place, fan 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 ﬁre suppression control system, which will emergency-stop fans in case of ﬁre. Prior to installing fans, review all codes applicable to sprinkler systems and fans to ensure code compliance (refer to NFPA 13). Please call our Technical Department for guidance (Technical Support contact information can be found on page 49). 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. Note, a large fan, 20 – 24 feet in diameter, performs best at 20 to 30 feet above the ﬂoor, but acceptable performance has been demonstrated as low as 10 feet and as high as 50 feet.

If the building has a mezzanine, fans should be mounted so a person can not 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.

Rev. Date 042415

Fan Clearance & Placement

WARNING: FANS ARE NOT MEANT TO BE OPERATED IN WINDY CONDITIONS.

The minimum distance of a fan to a wall or similar obstruction should be no less than twice the diameter of the fan. The minimum distance of a fan to a wall or similar obstruction should be no less than 1.5 times the diameter of the fan.

The extension lengths above are minimum recommendations only, based solely on roof pitch and fan diameter. Other factors, such as allowing for proper airﬂow into the fan must be evaluated when determining extension requirements. In addition, MacroAir strongly recommends that the fan airfoils must be a minimum of 10 feet (3.05 meters) above the ﬂoor. Contact our technical department for assistance with fan placement and extension selection (technical support contact information can be found on page 49).

4.2 Guy Wire Cord Installation

Components:

A - Guy Wire Cord B - Eyelets C - Cord Lock

4.2.1: Insert the elastic cord through the top eyelet of each of the 4 turnbuckles as shown in pictures 1 & 2.

4.2.2: Pull one of the ends of the cord through one of the holes on the cord lock and then pull the end into the groove to lock it. Use pliers to properly secure the cord in the groove of the cord lock as shown in pictures 3 & 4.

4.2.3: Repeat step 4.2.2 for the second end of the cord using the opposite hole and groove on the cord lock.

4.2.4: The safety cord should be pulled tight and fastened as shown in picture 5.

NOTE: The Guy wire cord is a redundant safety system for our fans. The Guy Wire Cord Kit applies to our fans with turnbuckles installed on the Guy wires. The turnbuckles may have been supplied by the installer or factory supplied by MacroAir. This system utilizes a polymer cord to secure the ends of the turnbuckles. In the event that one or more comes loose due to stresses that exceed their capacity, the turnbuckles would be captive above the airfoils and prevent additional damages and down time to your fan.

THE CORD IS CUT TO A PREDETERMINED LENGTH FOR PROPER TENSION. DO NOT EXCESSIVELY STRETCH THE CORD.

5.1.2: Insert an airfoil into one of the airfoil clamps and line up the three bolt holes. Insert an airfoil bolt into the airfoil clamp and hand tighten until snug. Repeat the last step until all three airfoil bolts are installed snugly. If the bolts seem like they will not tighten chances are they are not seated in the airfoil clamp properly. Try moving the airfoil up and down and side to side with slight movements while applying upward pressure to the bolt. The bolt should seat further into the airfoil clamp. Once all bolts are seated and snug, torque them to 75 in-lbs.

5.1.3: Repeat step 4.1.2 for all 6 blades.

Screens:

A - Home Screen B - Fault Code Screen C - Operating Hours Screen D - Fan Diameter Selection Screen

Instructions:

6.2.1: Once the fan is powered on, click the forward button and increase the speed by clicking the

up button. The fan will do an initial blade detection: spinning in reverse to 10 RPM, accelerating for a few seconds, and then the fan will have recognized the fan diameter. It will then slow down and resume the commanded direction and speed (this operation will occur every time that the incoming power to the fan is cycled).

6.2.2: If the fan stops operating unexpectedly, navigate to the fault code screen and record any fault codes (if present). Click the reset button until the display reads ‘0’. Then, attempt to run the fan again. If the fan is still not operating, navigate to the fault code screen via the navigation arrows at the bottom of the screen and document the code(s) displayed and call technical support at 866-668-3247.

6.2.3: To view your fan’s operating hours, navigate from the home screen to the far right screen.

Maintenance Information

Guy Wire Check (if applicable): Checking a MacroAir fan’s Guy wires for tension and inspecting for frayed sections could mitigate a problem before it occurs. Fan owners should conﬁrm that the Guy wires are not wrapped around any sharp edges. MacroAir recommends attaching Guy wires to the building with eye bolts or eye lags. If they are not already installed with eye bolts or lags, we urge fan owners to install these in order to help keep the Guy wires from fraying. If Guy wires are installed with turnbuckles, jam nuts should periodically be checked to ensure tightness. If they are loose, the Guy wire cables may need to be re-tensioned.

Airfoil Cleaning: Depending on the type of commercial application the MacroAir fan is in, there can be quite a bit of dust or other particulates (including grease!) that cling to the fan’s airfoils. While this may not affect fan performance, we recommend fan owners keep airfoils clean by having a maintenance person or skilled trade professional – who has experience using a lift – wipe the fan airfoils with a rag or sponge using hot water or regular cleaning solutions. Please do not use chlorine or any chemicals containing chlorine.

Safety Cable Check: Each MacroAir fan comes with a safety cable. Depending on the fan model, the safety cable either wraps around the building structure and the fan frame, or comes out of the top of the fan and wraps around the building structure. The safety cable is an important part of the safety system and acts as a last resort should an earthquake, collision, or similar catastrophic event occur. As such, it’s vital for fan owners to ensure that it is intact and properly secured.

Reverse Operation: The beauty of MacroAir HVLS fans is that they are built to run in forward and reverse mode. However, changing the direction of your fan can put initial stress on the fan if it has not been properly checked. It is a good idea to make sure Guy wires, safety cables and all bolts and nuts are tight. Cleaning the fan before switching directions will prevent dust and other particles from falling off the fan airfoils that are now turning in the opposite direction.

Maintenance Plan:

Things to look for include: rust, cracked welds, unusual noise, hub migration/ movement, guy wire loosening or movement.

Years 1-5: One inspection on lift in ﬁrst year and one from the ground per year after one full year of service.

Years 6-10: One inspection on lift per year.

Year 11 and beyond:

Annual inspections from a lift and seasonal inspections both before and after the busy season from the ground.

NOTE: If there are issues or concern discovered during an inspection, please contact the service and technical support department at MacroAir for help.
