INTRODUCTION
Storage
Long-term storage requires special attention. Units should be stored on a level, solid surface, preferably indoors. If outside storage
is necessary, protect the units against moisture and dirt by encasing the cartons in plastic or some similar weatherproof material.
Unpacking
Place carton in an upright position and remove staples or use a sharp (knife edge) tool to CAREFULLY cut or scribe the sealing
tape on both sides at the top of the carton. Open carton aps. Remove any cardboard and wooden ller pieces, as well as loose
components or accessories shipped with the unit.
Carefully remove the unit from the carton. Inspect the unit for any damage that may have occurred during transit and check for
loose, missing or damaged parts.
Receiving and Handling
PennBarry fans are carefully inspected before leaving the factory. When the unit is received, inspect the carton 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. PennBarry is not responsible for damages incurred during shipment.

INSTALLATION
SWP is for general ventilating use only; do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
CAUTION
Any accessories which have been provided “knocked-down” can be assembled per illustrations provided (pages 9 - 11).
Remove internal protective shipping trays and llers. Check for and remove any loose hardware or particles from the inside of the
fan housing. Disconnect motor cord and plug from internal terminal box and receptacle.
Avoid severe jarring and/or dropping. Handle units with care to prevent damage to components or special nishes.
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 oor require guarding as specied 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 oor. PennBarry recommends the use of
guards on all exposed non-ducted fans.
INSTALLING THE PANEL FAN
Wall openings must be square and must be a minimum of 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 ange. 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.
Before attempting any repair or installation work, be certain that all power to the motor and electrical accessories is
CAUTION
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
1. Connect motor, per nameplate, to correct power supply.
2. Install all wiring, protection and grounding in accordance with national electrical code and local requirements.
3. Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Occupational Safety and Health
Act (OSHA).
4. In order to prevent motor failure when speed controller is used, unit must be started on high speed before turning to low speed.
CAUTION
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 (service
switch, if furnished, or to the) 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.
turned o and locked in the o position.
Follow all local electrical, safety and building codes, the provisions of the National Electrical Code and the Occupational
Safety and Health Act.

INSTALLING THE WALL DAMPER
When required, level and fasten the wall damper through the mounting holes provided in the damper mounting ange. Consult
Figure 1 for the proper mounting arrangements. Secure the damper to the wall opening without undue twisting which may distort
the frame. Check for free operation. If dampers are motor operated type, ascertain the proper voltage is present on motor terminals.
The fan is now ready for service.
