SECTION 3: CRITICAL CONSIDERATIONS

3.1 Location and Suspension

All models:

• Must be installed indoors.

• Must be installed in a level position.

• Fan must be suspended from above (See Page 7,
Figure 4). Drop rods must be a minimum of 10
mm diameter mild steel. Four suspension points
(M10 nuts) are located on top of fan. Mounting
hardware must be sufficient to support fan weight
as listed in the dimension data on Page 4, Sec-
tion 2.3.

• Must be installed in a manner which allows

access to all serviceable components.

3.2 Minimum Required Installation Clearances.

Clearances around fan must be as indicated on Page
4, Section 2.3 to ensure access for servicing and cor-

rect operation.

FIGURE 4: Suspension Methods

4.2 Electrical Supply

All fans and controls need a constant 230 V 50 Hz
single phase supply connected to terminals L, N, and
Earth. Polarity "L & N" must be correct. The voltage
between neutral and earth should be 0 and never
exceed 15 volts.

All fans and controls must be correctly earthed. All
external wiring must comply with relevant IEE and
local regulations and be carried out by a qualified
electrician.

If any of the original wire supplied with fan must be
replaced, it must be replaced with wiring material
having a temperature rating of at least
105 °C and 600 V.

SECTION 6: TROUBLESHOOTING

6.1 Sequence of Operation

The BJ8 Fan Control uses an external temperature
sensor to automatically adjust HVE Fan speed. In
AUTO mode, fan speed will increase as temperature
rises beyond the point set at temperature dial. In
MAX mode, fan will run at full speed regardless of
temperature. The BJ8 has an ON/OFF switch for
turning HVE Fan(s) on and off. The temperature sen­sor should be located as close as possible to one of
the HVE Fans it is controlling.

The DP5 and WAC6 Fan Controls offer manual con­trol over HVE Fan speed. See Page 8, Section 5 wir-
ing diagrams to utilize HVE Fan thermostat. In this
case, each fan will turn on when temperature at fan
exceeds thermostat setpoint. The fans speed will be
determined by speed set on controller. To disable
HVE Fan thermostat, wire line power to terminal “1”
rather than terminal “L”.. In this configuration, fan con­trol ON/OFF switch will be used to turn HVE Fan(s)
on and off.

If a fan control is not used, the built in thermostat on
each HVE fan will turn equipment on when tempera­ture at fan exceeds setpoint of thermostat.

DANGER

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect electric before service.

More than one disconnect switch may be
required to disconnect electric to the unit.

Failure to follow these instructions can result
in death or electrical shock.
