1INTRODUCTION
The Anemoi AIRPOLE fan is perfect for indoor and outdoor applications where it is not possible to make ceiling
installations. It has been designed to generate a huge amount of air from the ceiling thanks to the motor power.
This fan is mainly used to increase comfort in summer by generating a smooth breeze even outdoors and can also
be used in winter using the heat located in the top coats of the building.
In addition, in combination with the traditional air conditioning systems, the use of fans allows generating important
energy savings of up 45% in winter and 25% in summer.

4MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
CAUTION!
Follow the instructions and recommendations contained in this section carefully. Failure to do so may
result in incorrect installation.
The Anemoi AIRPOLE fan is designed for floor installation. Ensure that the floor area chosen can hold the weight
of the fan and that there are no obstacles in its operating range. The maximum weight of the fan is about 320kg
depending on the pole’s weight.
Before installing the fan, it is necessary to sign and protect the working area to prevent anyone from going under
the fan. It is recommended to fence at least four meters around the lifting equipment.
Follow any national or local regulation regarding installations in height.
SAFETY!
Ensure that the floor area chosen can hold the weight of the fan and that there are no obstacles in its
operating range. Failure to do so may result in equipment damage or accident.
Ensure sign and protect the working area. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
Ensure following any national or local regulation. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
Do NOT install the fan while it is in operation or connected to power supply. Doing so may result in serious
or fatal electrical shock.

4.1 Clearances
In order to ensure the maximum coverage of the Anemoi AIRPOLE, all obstacles that may be encountered within
the radius of the fan and the roof (if there is any roof) should be considered before installation, ensuring that the
fan has an appropriate clearance in all directions when running.
If there are lamps above the fan blades, change their position if necessary, to avoid the strobe effect. Ensure that
the fan is installed at a height greater than four meters.
The next figure shows all clearances:
CAUTION!
Ensure that the minimum distances are achieved. Otherwise, the fan could be damaged.
It is recommended to protect the fan if there is the possibility to receive impacts.
CAUTION!
Protect the fan if there is the possibility to receive impacts. Otherwise, the fan could be damaged.

4.2 Pole Requirements
The Anemoi AIRPOLE requires a pole that can be ordered to Anemoi or can be manufactured in the installation
country to avoid high transport costs.
Dimensions of the tube are as follows:

4.3 Floor Fixation
The Anemoi AIRPOLE should be fixed to the floor using at least M22 bolts. It is recommended to use the
recommended floor fixation piece. The fan cannot be installed in inclined floors.
CAUTION!
Ensure that the M22 bolts are properly tightened. Failure to do so may result in equipment damage.
4.4 Motor Assembly
The AIRPOLE fan is delivered with a bolted flange so that the motor conical cover is correctly fixed to the pole.
The motor’s weight is very heavy so it must be lifted by two or three installers, or even lifting equipment.
CAUTION!
Ensure that the motor bolts are correctly fastened. Failure to do so may result in equipment damage.
Do not lift the motor weight alone. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or equipment damage.

4.5 Blades Assembly
To assemble the blades, it is necessary to screw the plastic end caps, and introduce and fix them to the motor
guides.
Insert the blade into the motor bracket and fix it using the M6 bolts and the blades retainer. It is necessary to
tighten the outside bolts first and then the inside bolts using the retainers.
The next figure shows the blades assembly:

CAUTION!
Tighten the outside bolts first and then the inside bolts with the blades’ retainer. Failure to do so may
result in incorrect installation.

4.6 Motor ventilation Grid Fixation
The motor conical protection includes a special grid for ventilation that ventilates it. Use the screws provided to fix
it as follows:
4.7 Cover Fixation
The motor includes a special cover to protect the fan hub bolts. Use the screws provided to cover the motor as
follows:

4.8 Control Box Installation
The Anemoi AIRPOLE is controlled through a variable speed drive installed inside the control box
The control box is designed to be screwed directly onto a wall. To that end, it includes a hole on each corner.
Before drilling the wall, hold the control box in the desired position and mark the screw location. Please install the
control box in a safe area to prevent damage to the equipment.
CAUTION!
Install the control box in a safe area. Failure to do so may result in equipment damage.

5ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
WARNING!
Follow the instructions and recommendations contained in this section. Failure to do so may result in
serious injury or death.
The Anemoi AIRPOLE motor is controlled by a variable frequency drive installed in the control box. The control
VFD is already factory configured to obtain the correct motor performance. To ensure the fan operation, the
installers must connect the VFD to the power supply and to the motor.
Before installing the VFD, it is necessary to remove power supply to prevent any accident. Check that power supply
is disconnected before starting the installation.
All cabling must comply with national and local regulations on cable cross-sections and ambient temperature.
Copper (60°C/75°C) conductors are recommended.
Follow any national or local regulation regarding electrical installations.
WARNING!
Follow national and local electrical regulations. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
Check that power supply is disconnected before starting the installation. Failure to do so may result in
serious injury or death.
Do NOT install the fan with wet hands. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
Do not change the VFD configuration. Otherwise, the warranty would be voided.
The Anemoi AIRPOLEengine must beconnected to the power supply with an electrical voltage of 230V (I, 50/60Hz)
through the control VFD. The control box includes a terminal box to allow for smooth connection to the power
supply.
You may use shielded or unshielded cables. The maximum cable length between the control box and the engine
should be 100m for unshielded and 50m for shielded cables. Please root the cables along the floor using the
shortest possible path.
Electrical and control wiring should be installed in separated circuits to prevent interference.
WARNING!
Do NOT use wires with worn or damaged insulation. Doing so may result in serious or fatal electrical shock,
fire or other accidents.
Ensure that the wires are held securely and protected from abrasion, chaffing, overload or other
damage. Risk of serious or fatal electrical shock, fire or other accidents.
Do NOT connect the motor to the input line directly. Failure to do so may result in equipment damage.

6FIRST SWITCH ON TEST
Installers must follow the following procedure for the first-time operation of the Anemoi AIRPOLE fan because
even if all fans are tested before shipping, they can be damaged during storage or shipping.
Before operation, it is recommended to recheck that all bolts and nuts are correctly fastened.
After performing all mechanical and electrical connection steps included in this manual, run the fan as follows:
1- Change the main switch to the start position.
2- Run the fan at a low speed (about 20 rpm / min) for during some minutes by turning the potentiometer.
3- Verify that there is no abnormal noise.
4- Increase its speed gradually.
In the event of any abnormal noise, please contact Anemoi or your distributor.

7OPERATION
The Anemoi AIRPOLE fan is operated through a VFD control panel. Once the fan is powered, follow the next steps
to start the fan:
1- Change the main switch to the start position.
2- Adjust the potentiometer to the required speed.
3- Check the speed in the VFD screen.
To stop the fan, perform the procedure in reverse.
CAUTION!
Do not use the main switch in the box to start and stop the fan. Otherwise, the warranty would be voided.
