Operation & Maintenance Manual
Breezeway Panel Fans: Direct & Belt Drive
Please read and save these instructions. Read carefully before attempting to assemble, install, operate or maintain the product
described. Protect yourself and others by observing all safety information. Failure to comply with instructions could result in personal
injury and/or property damage! Retain instructions for future reference.
Receiving and Handling
PennBarry fans are carefully inspected before leaving the factory. When the unit is received, inspect
for any signs of tampering. Inspect the unit for any
damage that may have occurred during transit and
check for loose, missing or damaged parts.
Mishandled units can void the warranty provisions.
If units are damaged in transit, it is the responsibility of the receiver to make all claims against the
carrier. PennBarry is not responsible for damages
incurred during shipment.
Avoid severe jarring and/or dropping. Handle units
with care to prevent damage to components or finishes. If the unit is scratched due to mishandling,
the protective coating may be damaged. Incorrect
lifting may damage the fan and void the warranty.
Storage
Long-term storage requires special attention.
Store units on a level, solid surface, preferably
indoors. If outside storage is necessary, protect the
units against moisture and dirt by encasing in plastic
or in some similar weatherproof material.
Periodically inspect units and rotate wheels to
spread bearing lubricant. Failure to rotate wheels
results in reduced bearing life and may void the
manufacturer’s warranty. If the unit will be stored for
an extended time, remove belts. Belts that remain
under tension in a stationary position for extended
periods are likely to have a reduced operating life.
Installation
Any accessories which have been provided
“knocked-down” can be assembled per illustrations provided (pages 6 - 9).
LOCATION AND GUARDS
All fans have moving parts which require
guarding in the same way as other moving machinery. Where the fan is accessible to untrained personnel or the general public, use maximum safety
guards, even at the cost of some performance.
Unprotected fans located less than 7' above the
floor require guarding as specified in the
Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA). UL
listed fans, to maintain their personal safety listing,
must be installed not less than 10 feet above the
floor. PennBarry recommends the use of guards on
all exposed non-ducted fans.
INSTALLING THE PANEL FAN
Wall openings must be square and must be minimum 1/2" greater than the outside dimension of the
panel fan housing, when recessed within the wall.
Level and securely anchor the fan to the wall
through holes pre-drilled in the mounting flange.
Use the type, size and number of fasteners suitable
to the unit size and wall construction. If the contractor removes ventilator parts, reassemble by placing
all spacers, washers, nuts, bolts, fasteners and
components exactly as they were prior to removal.
Tighten and secure all fasteners.

Follow all local electri-
cal, safety and building
codes, the provisions of the National
Electrical Code and the Occupational
Safety and Health Act.
POSITIONING AND RUNNING
POWER LINES
Power is normally brought from within the
building through proper conduit lines to
the wall opening, and in turn to the (disconnect switch, if furnished) motor.
When power lines are brought up to the
unit, provide a generous amount of slack
to allow for motor adjustments and to permit movement of motor for belt tension
adjustments. Ground motor adequately
and securely. Protect power lines from
sharp objects. Do not kink power line or
permit it to contact hot surfaces, chemicals, grease or oil. Use only UL recognized electrical parts, rated for proper
voltage, load and environment.
INSTALLING THE WALL SHUTTER
When required, level and fasten the wall
shutter through the mounting holes provided
in the shutter mounting flange. Consult
Figure 1 for the proper mounting arrangements. Secure the shutter to the wall opening without undue twisting which may distort
the frame. Check for free operation. If shutters are motor operated type, ascertain the
proper voltage is present on motor terminals.
The fan is now ready for service.
Start-Up and Operation
Carefully inspect the unit before start-up.
All motor bearings should be properly
lubricated and all fasteners should be
securely tightened. Rotate propeller by
hand to insure free movement.
Before placing hand on
impeller or belts, lock
out power source. Check all set-screws
and keys. Tighten when necessary.
BELT TENSION AND
PULLEY ALIGNMENT
Check condition of belts and the amount
of tension prior to start-up. DO NOT overtighten, as bearing damage will occur.
Recommended belt tension should permit
deflection of 1/64" per inch of span on
each side of belt measured halfway
between pulley centerline. Exercise
extreme care when adjusting belts so as
not to misalign the pulleys. Any misalignment will cause a sharp reduction in belt
life an produce squeaky , annoying noises.
On units equipped with two groove pulleys, adjust all belts with equal tension.
Whenever belts
are removed or
installed, never force belts over
pulleys without loosening motor first,
to relieve belt tension.
Make sure inlets and approaches to the
unit are free from obstruction. To assure
maximum air movement, make sure adequate supply air is available.
Before putting fan into operation, complete the following check list:
a. Turn off and LOCK OUT
power source.
b. Make sure installation is in
accordance with manufacturer’s
instructions.
c. Check and tighten all fasteners.
d. Spin propeller to see if
rotation is free.
e. Check all set-screws and keys:
tighten if necessary.
f. Torqued set screws have a colored
Torque Seal mark indicating the correct torque has been applied.
g. Check belt or direct drive coupling
for alignment (use recommended
belt tension gauges).
h. Check belt for proper
sheave selection.
i. Make sure there is no foreign or
loose material in ductwork leading to
and from fan or in the fan itself.
j. Properly secure all safety guards.
k. Secure all access doors to fan
and ductwork.
l. Check line voltage with
motor nameplate.
m. Check wiring.
(On single phase
motors, the terminal
block must be set up in accordance with
the nameplate instructions and/or wiring
diagram. This set up must match the line
voltage. If the motor is multi-speed or
multi-voltage, the winding leads must be
grouped and connected as shown on the
motor wiring diagram. The line voltage
must correspond with proper grouping of
motor leads. The wiring diagram must be
followed explicitly or serious motor or
starter damage will occur.)
The fan has been checked at the factory
prior to shipment for mechanical noises. If
mechanical noises should develop:
a. Check rotating components
for adequate clearance.
b. Check proper belt tension
and pulley alignment.
c. Check installation and anchoring.
d. Check fan bearings.
Switch on electrical supply and allow fan
to reach full speed. Check carefully for:
1. Correct rotation of the impeller.
Incorrect rotation
overloads motor
severely and results in serious motor
damage. To change rotation of three
phase units, interchange any 2 of the 3
line leads. On single phase units, change
the terminal block set-up following the
wiring diagram on the motor.

2. Check motor and bearing temperatures for excessive heat against the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
Use care when touch-
ing the exterior of an
operating motor. Modern motors normally
run hot. They are designed to operate at
higher temperatures. This is a normal
condition but they may be hot enough to
be painful or injurious to the touch.
If any problem is indicated, TURN OFF
POWER TO UNIT IMMEDIATELY. Lock
out the electrical supply, check carefully
for the cause of the trouble and correct as
needed. Even if the fan appears to be
operating satisfactorily, shut down after a
brief period and check all fasteners, setscrews and keys for tightness.
During the first eight (8) hours of
operation, check the fan periodically
for excessive vibration or noise. At this
time, also check motor input current
and motor bearing temperatures to insure
that they do not exceed manufacturer’s
recommendations. After eight hours
of satisfactory operation, shut down
the fan and lock out the electrical power
to check the following items and adjust
if necessary:
a. All set-screws, keys and fasteners.
b. Drive coupling alignment.
c. Belt alignment.
d. Belt tension.
SUPPLY APPLICATIONS - FIELD
MODIFICATIONS (BHM/BHH ONLY)
To modify to the exhuast supply, propeller
must be “flipped” so that blade leading
edge is closest to the motor.
SPECIAL PURPOSE SYSTEMS
Explosive, corrosive, high temperatures,
etc., may require special construction,
inspection and maintenance. It is
necessary to observe the fan manufacturer’s recommendations and limitations
concerning the type of material to be
handled by the fan and its application
to special conditions.
Maintenance
Do not attempt maintenance on fan until
the electrical supply has been completely
disconnected. If a disconnect switch has
not been provided, remove all fuses from
the circuit and lock the fuse panel so they
cannot accidentally be replaced.
Lubrication is a primary maintenance
responsibility. Check all bearings periodically. Inspect belts for tightness. If the fan
is installed in a corrosive or dirty atmosphere, periodically clean the impeller, inlet
and other moving parts.
FAN SHAFT LUBRICATION
Fan shaft bearing pillow blocks are
factory greased eliminating the need for
greasing initially. Follow the lubricating
schedule recommended by the factory.
When required, apply grease while the
shaft is rotating. This practice should not
supersede any safety considerations.
Use low pressure
grease guns only. High
pressure guns tend to blow out
or unseat bearing seals, leaving the
bearing open to collect grime, dust
and foreign particles.
LUBRICATION SCHEDULE
a. Under average conditions where
ambient temperatures do not exceed
120°F, lubrication is required 1 to 2
times a year.
b. Under dirt laden atmospheres or
where there is a temperature range
of 120°F to 150°F, lubrication is
required from 3 to 6 times a year.
c. Under extreme temperature condi-
tions and extremely dirty atmospheres, lubrication should be at least
once or twice a month.
MOTOR LUBRICATION
In general, standard motors are furnished
with prelubricated, sealed-for-life ball
bearings which require no lubrication for
7 to 10 years of normal service. Where
motors have been ordered with greasable
bearings, these bearings are factory
lubricated and require no attention for one
year under normal conditions. If grease
relief fittings are provided, remove
them when performing maintenance
to allow grease to flow out. Whenever
possible, apply grease while the motor
is running. This practice should not
supersede any safety considerations.
DO NOT OVERGREASE, as most
lubricants deteriorate motor windings,
thereby reducing motor life.
Hidden Danger
In addition to the normal dangers of rotating machinery, fans present an additional
hazard in their ability to suck in not only
air, but loose material as well. Solid
objects can pass through the fan and be
discharged by the impeller as potentially
dangerous projectiles. Therefore, screen
intake to ductwork, whenever possible, to
prevent the accidental entrance of solid
objects. Never open access doors to a
duct system with the fan running.
When starting the fan for the first time,
completely inspect the ductwork and interior of the fan (with power locked off), to
make certain there is no foreign material
which can be sucked into or blown
through the ductwork.
Guards
All fans have moving parts which require
guarding in the same way as other
moving machinery.
Where the fan is accessible to untrained
personnel or the general public, use
maximum safety guards, even at the
cost of some performance loss.
Unprotected fans located less than
7' above the floor also require guarding
as specified in the Occupational Safety
and Health Act (OSHA).
PennBarry recommends the use of
guards on all exposed nonducted fans,
ceiling and wall mounted.
