Commercial Ceiling
Fans
Description
The VES commercial ceiling fans are a high efficiency, commercial ceiling fan. It
is designed to create air velocity and a cooling effect on high speed. The lower
speeds can be used for reduced velocity or heat de-stratification. The low speed
gently de-stratifies the air giving a constant room temperature. Models are UL &
cUL Certified.
Unpacking
1. After opening carton, look for concealed damage.
2. If concealed damage is found, immediately file claim with carrier.

rubber gasket (21) to create a tight
seal.
5. Make certain lower canopy set
screws (2) are tight on downrod (1).
6. Make certain cotter pin (13) is in
place and secure.
7. Make certain bolt, cotter pin and nut
(16) are tight.

(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

fan according to NEC, CEC and local
electrical codes (see Figure #5 or 6).
After making the wire connections
as outlined in Figure #5 or 6, 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.

must be plugged into a properly
wired 120V grounded outlet.
7. Raise top canopy (19) up the
downrod to cover hook. Leave 1/8”
gap between top canopy (19) and
hanging surface (so downrod does
not move off center which could
make fan wobble or vibrate and
transmit motor noise to ceiling
surface). Tighten set screw (18).
8. 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.
ICFCFR5
IMPORTANT:
The standard downrod installed properly
be mounted 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’ than the hook and
downrod 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
VES model ICFCFR5 control to adjust
speed and direction of your fan (see
figure #6 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 de-stratification or creating air
movement without direct air flow.

Maintenance
Always disconnect the
power supply before
servicing the ceiling fan or
working with the unit for any reason.
Parts replacement and
troubleshooting to be
performed only by qualified personnel.

objects in the ceiling
fan while motor is connected to the power
source.
Do not attach foreign
objects to the blades of
the ceiling fan.
Do not use gasoline,
benzene, thinner, harsh
cleaners, etc., which are dangerous and will
damage the ceiling fan.
If you see noticeable
vibration, wobbling or
wear the fan should be removed from service
and repaired or replaced by a qualified
maintenance technician or electrician.
• Below is the maintenance schedule
that must be followed and filled out
to be eligible for warranty and ensure
safe operation.
• Inspection should be every 3500
running hours or every 6 months.

Troubleshooting Chart
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!
Symptom Corrective Action
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 a) Adjust the trim set screw in fan wall control if using optional wall control. If minimum
setting is too low the fan may shut off with voltage fluctuations. Increase minimum.
b) Check voltage at fan connection.
c) Blades must be attached to motor to reduce the speed.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Fan makes noise a) Check motor case to make certain all visible screws are snug.
b) Check to make certain that all blade bracket screws are tight.
c) Check for labels or wire nuts that could be rubbing.
d) All ceiling fans may have a slight motor noise known as the “60 cycle hum” when used
with solid state infinite speed controls. Especially on lower speeds. This hum will not
affect the fan performance.
e) Make certain upper canopy is at least 1/8” from ceiling
f) Allow a 30 days break-in period which normally eliminates any Residual noise other
than a), b), c), d) or e).
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Fan wobbles a) Check that all blade brackets are screwed firmly to motor case.
b) Check distance from tip of blades to ceiling. If blades get bent during installation, you
must re-adjust them so that all blades travel on same plane. Gently bend up or down
until all distancea are the same.
c) Make certain upper canopy is 1/8” from ceiling.
d) Make certain that hanging hooks are secured tightly to ceiling.
e) Run fan without blade, if motor does not wobble, then motor is not defective but the
blades maybe bent.
