Installation
Safety Product Inspection of Fan Prior to
Installation (Figure #1 and #2) A WARNING To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade brackets when installing the brackets, balancing the blades or cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign objects in between rotating fan blades.
- 1. Make certain set screw (4) is tight to ascertain wobble free operation.
- 2. Make certain cotter pin (5) is in place and secure.
- 3. Make certain lock-nut (7) is tight and set screw (6) is in place and secure.
- 4. Slide lower canopy (8) down over rubber gasket (21) to create a tight seal.
- 5. Make certain lower canopy set screws (2) are tight on down rod (1).
- Make certain cotter pin (13) is in place and secure.
- 7. Make certain bolt, cotter pin and nut (16) are tight.
Hanging of Fan (Figure #1 and #2)
- . Wind one nut (9) down to bottom of J hook (12) towards the curve. Add a lock washer and then flat washer (3) on top of the nut (9).
- WARNING Make certain crimp on safety loop is secure (See Figure #4). Make certain safety cable is
- attached properly to hook or structural member. Failure to comply with instructions could result in personal injury and/ or property damage.
- Drill a 5/32" pilot hole for safety hook (31) within a 12" radius of J hook
(12) support for fan. Wind one nut (29) down to bottom of safety hook towards the loop. Add a lock washer (29) and slide safety hook through
pilot hole. Slide lock washer (30) on top side of the safety hook and add nut (30). Tighten so lock washer on top and bottom of the structure are secure.
- 3. Drill a 1/2" pilot hole for J hook. Put J hook (12) through pilot hole in joist. Add flat washer and then lock washer (20) and nut (22). Do not tighten completely until fan is put in place on J hook. A lubricant should not be used 8 on the single mounting screw; and the pilot hole should be drilled no larger than the minor diameter of the mounting screw threads, and at least 38 mm (1-1/2") of the threaded part of the mounting screw should be secured into a structural joist to T provide secure mounting.
- Loosen set screw (18) on top canopy (19) on fan down rod (1) and lower the canopy to make room to place rubber grommet (14) onto mounting hook.
- 5. Tighten top nut (22) on J hook to raise fan into proper installation position.
- 6. Ensure power to outlet box is off before hooking up wiring (10). Wire the fan according to NEC, CEC and local electrical codes (see Figure #5 or 6). After making the wire connections as outlined in Figure #5, the wires should be spread apart with the grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding conductor on one side of the outlet box and the ungrounded conductor on the other side of the outlet box. Splices should
be turned upward and pushed carefully up into the outlet box.
- Raise top canopy (19) up the down rod to cover hook. Leave 1/8" gap between top canopy (19) and hanging surface (so down rod does not move off center which could make fan wobble or vibrate and transmit motor noise to ceiling surface). Tighten set screw (18).
- Attach blades (23) to motor (24) with blade bolts (25). (Figure #3) The blade (24) should be positioned below the blade arm bracket (26) when attaching to the motor to get proper air flow and direction.
Wall Control Installation
The wall control switch has been
investigated and found acceptable for use as a speed control switch.
- Connect the fan supply (black) wire to the black wire from wall control as shown in Figure #5.
- Connect the neutral fan (white) wire to the white neutral household wire.
- 3. Connect the two green fan ground wires located on the down rod and hanger bracket, to the household ground wire.
- After connecting the wires, spread them apart so the green and white wires are on one side of the outlet box and the black wire is on the other side.
- Turn the wire connecting nuts upward and push the wiring into the outlet box.
Note: (28) references an existing or customer supplied junction box.
▲ WARNING When installed properly the bottom of the ceiling fan must be a minimum 10' above the floor level. It is critical that the "J" hook and nut adjustment is done so that the blades will be a minimum 12" from the ceiling. If your ceiling is less that 12' then the hook and down rod must be recessed into the ceiling so that the blades are mounted 10' above the floor level to meet OSHA standards.
Operation
For optimum fan performance, use the TPI controls to adjust speed and direction of your fan (see figure #5 for wiring). Follow the instructions included with the control for minimum speed setting and operation. The forward/ reverse control will allow you to adjust the speed and direction of the fan. The forward/downdraft direction blows air down on high speed for cooling or low speed for heat de-stratification. The reverse direction is idle for heat destratification or creating air movement without direct air flow.

Troubleshooting Chart
TPI Commercial Ceiling Fan is tested before it leaves the factory, resulting in an extremely low rate of returns. However, due to shipping and installation
procedures, occasionally a fan will need a minor adjustment to run satisfactorily. If this should happen, we recommend that you identify the problem and try the simple suggestions listed below.
Turn off power at main circuit breaker before checking!
| Fan will not start |
a) Check fuses and circuit breakers.
b) Check wire connections to fan. c) Check wiring connection in lower canopy. d) Check voltage at fan connection. |
| Fan too fast / slow |
|
| Fan makes noise |
|
| Fan wobbles |
|
e) Run fan without blade, if motor does not wobble, then motor is not defective but the blades may be bent.
