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.

General Safety Information
Disconnect power
supply before wiring
connections are made to prevent possible
electric shock or damage to equipment.
Read and follow
instructions carefully.
Failure to comply with instructions could
result in fire, electric shock, injury to
persons and/or damage to equipment.
Follow all
maintenance
procedures enclosed.
Failure to properly
ground unit could
result in severe electrical shock or death.
1. All wiring should conform to the
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA
70-1999 (NEC) in the United States,
CEC and local regulations.
2. Do not mount in an area which will
allow the ceiling fan to come in
contact with moisture.
3. Make certain the entire installation
is grounded as a precaution against
possible electrical shock.
4. Do not exceed maximum
amperage rating of the ceiling fan
as overloading can result in

E249273
Assembly
1. Remove all ceiling fan parts from
the box.
2. Tools and supplies needed – Flat and
Phillips screwdriver – 9/16” and 3/8”
open wrench or adjustable wrench,
2-3 wire nuts.
3. Install a junction box to accept the
wiring of the fan. In many cases, a
qualified electrician will be required
to install the outlet box keeping
with local electrical codes or to
meet the NEC, CEC and local
regulations.
4. For installation to open web steel
joist – use threaded J-hook as
supplied. For wood joist
construction – use J-hook with lag
threads (not supplied. For attachment in concrete, drill concrete
anchors into the concretes as per
specification applicable to NEC, CEC
and local regulations.

Installation
Safety Product Inspection of Fan Prior to
Installation (Figure #1 and #2)
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 downrod (1).
6. Make certain cotter pin (13) is in
place and secure.
7. Make certain bolt, cotter pin and nut
(16) are tight.

J hook (12) towards the curve. Add a
lock washer and then flat washer (3)
on top of the nut (9).

2. Drill a 5/32” pilot hole for safety
hook (31) within a 12” radius of J
hook (12) support for fan. Wind one
nut down (29) 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 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 provide secure
mounting.
4. Loosen set screw (18) on top canopy
(19) on fan downrod (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) (except
INDA56P see note below). 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 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.

Length of downrod is
measured as shown above.
Note: Model INDA56P already has a 3
prong plug wired for 120V. Cord
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.
