UNIT PLACEMENT
VELOCITY PROFILE
PREPARATION
Install electrical circuit(s) and outlet(s) in accordance with naonal
and local electric codes.
Outlets should generally be mounted vercally unless a “twist/
locking” type is being used.
Wall switch may be installed in circuit to disable power and
prevent electrical hazards when servicing.
Confirm electrical connuity of Airius unit on the ground before
permanently mounng in the ceiling.
OPERATION
Designed to operate 24 hours-a-day, 7 days-a-week to maintain
air circulaon/thermal equalizaon/humidity equalizaon.
Use oponal speed control to fine tune RPM if needed.
MAINTENANCE
Frequency of cleaning will vary by applicaon and environment.
You may clean the plasc housing with a damp warm cloth, using
mild household detergents.
Do not use petroleum products, thinners or solvents to clean any
part of the Airius unit.
If the Airius unit fails, contact manufacturer.
MATERIALS & PROPERTIES
Constructed from recyclable materials.
The outer shell, stator and fan blades are fire rated 5VA materials.
Power cord is a 1.8m, 3 wire, 1.02 mm diameter 300VAC rated
electrical cord - CE/EU compliance rated as HO5VV (PLUG NOT
SUPPLIED).
Electrically commutated, variable speed 92% efficient motor.
Motor is thermally protected. Shutoff is at 110°C & reset is at
90°C.
No lubricaon required. Bearings are sealed.
INSTALLATION
Do not hard connect fans in excess of 10 kgs unless agreed with
Airius prior to Installaon. When aaching it is preferred if some
chain or cable is used between fan and the support. However it is
not imperave.
For Cooling the Airius fan should be located to suit client’s
requirements. Suggested locaons are from just under the ceiling
or closer to the floor to ensure suitable air-cooling flow.
For Heang or Condioned Spaces the Airius fan should be
securely installed as close as possible to the ceiling.
For combinaon applicaons fans can be installed close to ceiling
or lowered slightly. Contact Airius for design details and assistance.
The Airius unit performs best when air column from the nozzle is
unimpeded to the floor.
The Airius unit should not be mounted directly in front of heat
ducts, vents or any other high heat source.
Use professionally installed hardware, capable of supporng a
minimum of five mes the weight of the fan unit.
Hardware to hang the unit includes but is not restricted to: Hooks,
chains, cables, carabiners, bridle rings, beam clamps and bolts.
Density of the placement is directly related to the effecveness,
performance and savings.
Mount out of reach from people and animals.
Floor plans, mezzanines, office locaons, machinery, people
placement, plumbing, lighng, duct work, electrical systems, natural
light/air systems, cranes, doors, windows, venlaon and fire
suppression systems are all factors in properly locang the Airius
system within the ceiling.

INSET MOUNTING (IP44)
Break mains voltage. Connect according to diagram. Mount the inner case to the wall with the connecons poinng
down. Mount cover with nut to the wall. Push knob in place at off posion.
SURFACE MOUNTING (IP54)
Break mains voltage. Mount surface mounng case to the wall together with included grommets. Connect according to
diagram. Mount inner case in surface mounng case with included screws. Mount cover with nut to surface mounng
case. Push knob in place at off posion. When needed a 5mm hole for condensaon water is to be drilled at the
boom of the surface mounng case.
IN CASE OF FAULTY OPERATION
Please check: right voltage is applied, all connecons are correct, the machine to be regulated is funconing.
TRANSPORT AND STOCK KEEPING
Avoid shocks. Stock in original packaging. Avoid extreme condions.
MAINTENANCE
In normal condions the controllers are maintenance-free. If soiled clean with dry or dampish cloth. In case of heavy
polluon clean with a non-aggressive product. In these circumstances the controller should be disconnected from the
mains. Pay aenon that no fluids enter the controller. Only reconnect the controller to the mains when it is
completely dry.
All works may only be carried out by skilled personnel following the local regulaons and AFTER the controller is
completely separated from the mains.
CAUTION
!
Electrical installaons should only be carried out by qualified personnel only. Follow safety measures to avoid electric shock.
