1.14 Transportation and handling
EVEL S.r.l. goal is to attain maximum respect for the environment. To this end, and to facilitate the
greatest efficiency possible for the end client, it avoids the use of unnecessary or excessive
packaging as much as possible, in order to minimise the environmental impact. Unless the purchaser
has specific needs or specific requests that are assessed in each case, the product is supplied on a
timber pallet inside a cardboard box, where necessary, otherwise it is simply placed in the pallet (e.g.
aluminium blades), with parts covered in protective plastic.
The packs must not be stacked.
Avoid damaging the machine's components by being very careful with opening the packaging.
Once delivered to the purchaser, they must immediately check that the product is correct and
conforms.
Checking of the integrity of the ceiling fan and the completeness of the package within not more than
48 hours of delivery, is specifically assigned to the user to whom the product is delivered.
1) No part of the product must be damaged or cracked, or have any other visible defects due to
transportation.
2) All the components must be in the package.
3) There must be no signs of chemical attack, damp, stains or anything else.
4) The CE Mark and pictograms must be included, especially:
a. The motor's identity label, which also indicates its characteristics.
page 14

User's and Maintenance Manual CEILING FAN
If during the peremptory period of 48 hours from receipt of the goods the recipient has not lodged
any complaint or reported any irregularity, even if not listed here, the product is taken as being
accepted and suitable for the intended use.
Do not dispose of packaging in the environment. It must be deposited at specific collection points
and stored in accordance with the specific environmental disciplines, by the user.
HANDLING
The Ceiling Fan is relatively heavy (see weights table) and bulky, and so it must be lifted and handled after
having checked that the necessary, suitable equipment is available. All the safety conditions must be in place for
the operation required, and personnel must be informed and trained on using the equipment and the specific
task to be carried out. They must have personal protection equipment required for the task and called for by
applicable local norms. Also, given the weight of the machinery, if suitable lifting devices are not available, the
machine and its components must always be handled by at least two people.
In particular:
-For unpacking the product, use at least:
oGLOVES that are suitably resistant to cuts, perforation and crushing
oOveralls or approved clothing, type approved in terms of applicable norms
oSafety footwear
-Operators engaged in unpacking the ceiling fan must be adequately trained and informed by the user of
the elements and the dangers they pose.

page 15

User's and Maintenance Manual CEILING FAN
Malfunctioning of the ceiling fan due to faults in components and/or irregularities relating to parts of the product
not reported immediately, in the specific manner indicated in this manual or the sales agreement, may not, under
any circumstances, infer responsibility on EVEL s.r.l.'s part, and must be seen to be the user's risk and danger
due to unforeseeable use.
Work under guarantee must be done in Evel s.r.l.'s premises, with transport paid for by the user.
STORAGE AND LAYING-UP
The product must be kept in a cool, dry place, not subject to high humidity percentages, and
correctly positioned on shelves or pallets. Especially the aluminium blades must be placed on
adequate shelves, which does not allow them to bend. In any case, when drawn from the
stores, check that they are not curved. The product may be stored for 6 months, after which
we recommend checking that the electric motor is working properly, before installing it. Check
that there are not cracks or breaks in metal parts of the ceiling fan, especially in the blade
fixing hub or the blades themselves.

MANUAL
2 - INSTALLATION
2.1 Preliminary operations
For the CEILING FAN to work, the following are required:
• Electricity supply with suitable voltage and frequency characteristics for the
machine, an earth connection and protective devices.
Installation must satisfy the safety
requirements laid down by current local
norms.
Then check that all the connections necessary for the equipment to work have been formed correctly by expert
personnel, according to all the specific disciplines in this regard. EVEL s.r.l. does not accept any responsibility
for damage and/or malfunctioning due to connecting the product to the power supply in a manner that does not
conform to the requirements laid down herein.
2.2 Positioning
Once the ceiling fan has been assembled, installation operations can begin.
Make sure you have understood the enclosed Assembly Instructions fully.
To position the unit the specialist, trained operator, in terms of the requirements above, must take the following
precautions:
-The use of specific PPE is absolutely necessary, and in particular the operator must use at least working
gloves, approved clothing that ensures high visibility, safety footwear, and a protective device for their
head.
page 16

User's and Maintenance Manual CEILING FAN
-Before beginning installation, make sure the place available is suitable for the purpose. Especially check
the connections, structure of the support / fixing point, distance from heat sources, high voltage lines,
and/or other elements that may interfere with the machine's operation in some way, distance from the
ground, and the operators involved.
-Before proceeding with installation, assess the possible interference risks between the operations to be
carried out, fixed and moveable equipment to be used, and the working environment in which installation
is to be done, according to the reference national norms.
-Proceed to install the product and its control panel in an accessible place that allows regular functioning
to be checked visually at all times from the ground. It must also allow quick stoppage in case of
emergency, as well as correct routine and extraordinary maintenance by authorised operators.
-Check that no operator is under or in the proximity of the installation site, until after the unit has been
used for the first time.
-Make sure that the minimum lighting level in the installation area is at least 50 lux, to allow maintenance
to be carried out and the equipment to be identified, as otherwise it may not be seen and perceived
when it is running. We also advise against installing the ceiling fan below light sources that may
generate a stroboscopic effect, which would be bothersome for the operators.
Once the checks indicated above have been completed, install as per the specific procedures listed below:
-For installing and using the machine for the first time, see annexure 1 to this Manual, "Assembly
Instructions".
-
2.3 Optimum installation conditions
The ceiling fan must be installed at least one metre below the ceiling and at a height of 4 metres above the floor.
The installer is also to assess any interference with machinery, balconies, balustrades, or anything else between
the floor and the machine, that may interfere with it. Before beginning installation, the area must be specifically
signposted and cleared of people or objects that may get in the way or be damaged by accidental falling of parts
of the machine. The area over which the ceiling fan's action is effective is about 3 times the diameter of the fan.
The manufacturer expressly forbids installations in which no space is left between one machine and another
equal to the diameter of the machine itself. The installer is fully responsible for connecting the ceiling fan to the
ceiling. They must therefore assess the most suitable fixing system in order to ensure that the unit is fixed in a
workmanlike manner, according to the type of ceiling, beams or structure in general to which the fan is to be
anchored.
TIGHTENING TORQUE:
It is necessary use a torque wrench or a calibrated screwdriver in order to respect the following tightening torque:
M8 Screw: 27 Nm
M10 Screw: 53 Nm
M12 Screw: 92 Nm
TIE BARS:
The Manufacturer markets and provides a specific metal tie bar kit for the ceiling fan, supplied if requested by the
purchaser.
This tie bar kit ensures additional axial stability for the ceiling fan, and keeps it at its height if, due to outside
causes, the machine is stressed anomalously, or the ceiling assembly with just one central pole, does not ensure
adequate solidity over time.
The installation MUST be completed using the tie bar kit for safety reasons, if the purchaser or installer finds any
of the following, in the actual production situation and installation position of the ceiling fan inside the industrial
building involved:
 The possibility that the ceiling fan may be struck by gusts of wind (e.g. opening of doors or windows), or
that the ceiling fan is installed in buildings that can be opened on the sides.
 The possibility that the ceiling fan may inadvertently be struck by machines or equipment used by the
purchaser or others, working inside the building in which the fan is installed.
 The possibility that the ceiling fan may be struck by flying creatures, flying around inside the building in
which it is installed.
 The industrial building is located in an area defined to be seismic or, in any case, subject to appreciable
sources of vibrations that affect the building.
WARNING!!! Since the assessment of the need to do the installation with an additional tie bar kit depends
completely on objective conditions related to the property, the type of production activity and mode of the same,
and these conditions cannot be ascribed to the Manufacturer, the Manufacturer does not accept any
responsibility for not using the tie bar kit for installation, while stating that its use is preferable and safer.

User's and Maintenance Manual CEILING FAN
Installing the ceiling fan in the presence of winds or draughts that strike the machine on the side, with wind
speeds greater than or equal to 14 m/sec, is expressly forbidden. For wind speeds of between 10 and 14 m/sec,
use of the tie bar kit for installation is obligatory, and the machine is already set up for the same.
In the case of strong side winds that strike the ceiling fan, in addition to wind bracing in the form of the tie bar kit,
it is important that the machine is never stopped, but continues to rotate at minimum revs, in order to balance the
side forces that strike it.
We do not advise using the ceiling fan in dusty settings, such as places in which flour or light, easily volatile
elements are present.
NOISE EMISSIONS
The acoustic pressure level of pondered emission A in workplaces does not exceed 70 dB(A).
CLEANING
The machine can be cleaned using products suitable for cleaning aluminium and steel. Each cleaning operation
deemed necessary, must be done with the power supply to the machine disconnected. Suitable precautions
must be taken to avoid subsequent untimely switch-ons during the operations, and operators must wait until the
fan has stopped rotating. Aiming pressurised water towards the ceiling fan for cleaning operations is expressly
forbidden, even though the machine is in class IP65.
2.4 Electrical connection
The installation involves the use of a control unit with an output of 1 - 10 V. However, as an
alternative a manual potentiometer can be used, the only difference being that starting and
stopping the machine must be done manually. Each control unit chosen by the client must be CE
certified, or must at least conform to the low voltage and electromagnetic compatibility directives.
Failure to ensure this will render the warranty null and void, due to damage caused to the machine
due to the use of unsuitable material. However, this choice does not affect the installation
procedure described below.
The electrical connection is to be formed by recognised, specialist technicians,
authorised in terms of the current norm.
Make sure that the characteristics of the electricity supply conform to the indications.
Connecting the equipment to an effective earth line is obligatory.
The installation must include a device for disconnecting the equipment from the mains power supply. A
protective fuse must also be installed, adequately sized and of a delayed type for starting motors. Attaching or
hanging any object from the ceiling fan's blades for any reason, is forbidden. This is because such actions could
result in the machine being out of balance, with a resulting anomalous distribution of loads and consequences
such as the machine falling.
WARNING: SPECIFICALLY INSERT A SINGLE POWER SUPPLY LINE, FITTING A CLASS A
TRIP SWITCH IN THE LINE, IN ADDITION TO A PROTECTIVE CIRCUIT BREAKER IS
OBLIGATORY. INSTALLING THE CEILING FAN NEAR HIGH VOLTAGE LINES (GREATER
THAN 1000 V ALTERNATING CURRENT OR 1500 V DIRECT CURRENT) IS EXPRESSLY
FORBIDDEN.

STARTING FOR THE FIRST TIME:
Once assembly, installation and the electrical connection for the machine have been completed,
power the machine and wait for about 30 seconds to allow it to complete a self-diagnosis of its
default parameters, and then start rotating. Subsequently, check that:
1) There is no imbalance in the installation due to incorrect assembly of components, or latent
defects in the same.
1) There are no metal noises or sounds coming from the machine itself.
2) The motor's diagnosis LED flashes every 2 seconds.
3) Rotation is clockwise, when looked at from below the ceiling fan.
EMERGENCY STOPPAGE!
4) In an emergency, switch off the power supply to the machine via the circuit breaker or the
main power supply set up. Warning! Do not touch the machine for a period of 5 minutes after
switching off the power, because the outside temperature of the machine may exceed 70°C.
