Caution & Safety

WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

a) Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer.

b) Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch power off at the service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

WARNING: If unusual oscillating movement is observed, immediately stop using the ceiling fan

and contact the manufacturer, its service agent or suitably qualied persons.

WARNING: Make sure to power the fan off and lock it out using the IEC/CE approved disconnect when doing any cleaning and or maintenance to the equipment.

PRIOR TO THE INSTALLATION, ENSURE:

• That the mounting of the suspension system shall be performed by the manufacturer, its

service agent or suitably qualied persons;

• That the fan is to be installed so that the blades are more than 10ft [3.05m] above the oor;

• The model or type reference of a luminaire that may be installed in a fan constructed for this purpose.

DAMAGED EQUIPMENT

Do not operate or install any fans or fan accessories that appear to be damaged. Failure to follow this instruction can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

SERVICE:

If the fan does not operate properly using the procedures in this manual, BE CERTAIN TO REMOVE ALL POWER TO THE UNIT and contact our technical department for further assistance.

Keep clear of moving parts at all times. All electrical troubleshooting and repair must be done by

a qualied technician and meet all applicable codes.

Ensure that the replacement of parts of the safety suspension system device shall be performed

by the manufacturer, its service agent or suitably qualied persons.

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

• Install the safety cable on EVERY fan. The safety cable, if installed per MacroAir

specications, 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.

• Install guy wires on every fan, unless otherwise specied. Properly installing the guy wires is required for proper stabilization during normal operation for some fan and mounting types (Universal Mounts). In addition, guy wires keep the fan stable in case of earthquakes or in “outdoor” installations where high wind conditions may occur.

Rev. Date 040218

Caution & Safety

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 oor with a large crosshatched circle to alert personnel of

the overhead location of fans.

Accelerometer

AVD 550 and 780 fans feature an on-board accelerometer, which will stop the fan and prevent it from running if it becomes greater than 5 degrees out of level.

Weight Considerations

Ensure the xing means for attachment to the ceiling such as hooks or other devices shall be xed with a sufcient strength to withstand 4 times the weight of the ceiling fan. The maximum

hanging weight for the Model 550 is 172 lbs [78 kg] and the maximum hanging weight for the Model 780 is 213 lbs [97 kg]. 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) during normal operation that must be handled by the mounting system, including the building structure. For a Model 550, the maximum potential torque is 100 ft-lbs [136 N-m]. For a Model 780, the maximum potential torque is 250 ft-lbs [339 N-m].

Check Federal, State, and Local Codes

Check all relevant codes to make sure that all product certications, 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.

Fan Placement & Clearance

Sprinkler Systems and Fan Placement

In any installation where re sprinklers are in place, fans 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 re suppression control system which will emergency-stop fans in case of re. Prior to installing fans, review all

codes applicable to sprinkler systems and fans to ensure code compliance (refer to NFPA 13). Please call MacroAir for guidance (contact information can be found on page 74). 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 oor, but

acceptable performance has been demonstrated as low as 10 feet and as high as 50 feet. 24 foot fans should not be installed in locations that experience high winds.

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

HVLS fans should not be located near to air supply outlets or exhausting inlets of other HVAC

equipment. Supply air outlets can be congured to deliver air away from the HVLS fan or the fan

location should be oriented such that the outlet is pointing away from the fan and outside the swept area of the fan. Exhaust fan inlets or other return air points creating a negative pressure should not be within 1.5 times the diameter of the fan. This system will diminish the capacity of the HVLS fan. Proper systems orientation will provide an enhancement to the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and occupant comfort. Refer to next page for illustration.

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. The guy wires should be under enough tension to prevent any movement in the motor unit or the extension tube. If the motor

can be moved by pushing on it, the guy wires need to be tightened. Fan owners should conrm

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 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 when turning in the opposite direction.

Maintenance Plan:

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

Year 1-10: 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.

Troubleshooting

It is recommended to wire the fan and the touchpad remote prior to turning on the power to the fan. If the fan is not operable, but the touchpad remote is lighting up, cycle power to the fan.

If cycling the power did not resolve this issue, go to the fault code screen (reference page 63) and check to see if there is a code present.
